3 BIG Ways to Balance Hormones With Food

Have you ever considered that stress plays a part in what and how you eat and drink?  Of course you have!  

Think about it: When you are particularly stressed, you may reach for something sugary, salty, refreshing, comforting, etc.  You crave something that will balance the stress of whatever you're going through.  And those foods provide an uplifting feeling--INSTANTLY!

Does any of the following sound familiar?

Amanda didn't sleep well last night.  She wakes up late and doesn't have time to eat breakfast before rushing to work.    At 9:30 am she walks by a plate of doughnuts.  They appeal to her.  She eats one and feels more grounded at first. Within a short time, however, she's slightly depressed and jittery.  For lunch she grabs a sandwich at the cafeteria and feels much better.  By 2:30 pm, she's completely fatigued, searching for coffee.  And the cycle continues.

This cycle is actually exactly what your body is supposed to do to regain hormonal balance.  It's designed to take whatever we give it and make the most out of it that it can.  The thing is that we could make this process SO MUCH easier on our body AND feel much better in the process.
