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.
