Hormones

Estrogen, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones all interact with what and when you eat.

What matters most

  • A cluster of gut bacteria, the estrobolome, helps recycle estrogen.
  • Steady blood sugar steadies mood, sleep, and appetite.
  • Chronic under-eating is a hormonal stressor, not a shortcut.
