How to Structure a Day of Eating for Best Hormonal Response Welcome to our brand new podcast series, LOdown with Lo. LOdown’s will be happening every two weeks on the Strength in Hormones Podcast. These will be solo episodes with me where we will chat about practical strategies and functional solutions to support hormone healing. In today’s first LOdown we talk about How to Structure a Day of Eating for Best Hormonal Response. We discuss the role of eating structure as it relates to our endocrine (hormone) system as a whole and then more specifically as it relates to hormones like: cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and progesterone. Although, for many women, hormone imbalances don’t happen in insolation. Our entire hormone system is connected through our hypothalamus-pituitary axis. Because of this interconnection, each hormone influences one other. That’s why in our practice, it’s not unusual to see women experiencing thyroid imbalances while also experiencing issues with cortisol, insulin and progesterone levels. We can identify your exact hormone levels with our advanced hormone testing packages and 1:1 coaching. Then with this information, we will provide you with personalized nutrition, professional grade supplementation and lifestyle recommendations to rebalance levels and help you thrive again.

I am so happy to have Eliza Gellman on the show to talk about moving from macros to eating for holistic health. In this episode she shares her story of being macros obsessed to healing her body with holistic health. As a Registered Dietitian, I believe macros can work for some people and I do use this approach for some. It can be helpful for a very short period of time to learn food portions and plate balancing. However, it's important to me to first determine if this is the best way to help someone achieve their goal and if they can use macros in a way that is supportive and in no way detrimental to their health. If you are currently following a numbers focused macro eating plan and know that there could be a better way of nourishing your body - this episode is for you. We share why macro counting can be a slippery slope that can lead to disordered eating behaviors. Eliza shares her personal story with macro counting and how she moved to a place of nourishing her body holistically.
