The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health Breaking the Binge: Empowering Strategies to Overcome Overeating
Today I'm examining the intricacies of overeating for women in midlife, and explaining how it can be managed through an understanding of hormones and technology. I share my personal experiences with weight loss peptides and continuous glucose monitoring, revealing the surprising ways different foods impact blood sugar levels. We'll explore the roles of dopamine, insulin, and other hormones in appetite and metabolism, and address the emotional roots of eating habits. Let's uncover the science behind satiety, emotional eating, and mindful eating practices that can lead to a healthier, more balanced life.
