Nutrient Timing to Balance Female Hormon...

Dr. Jockers
About this episode

Today's episode is also sponsored by LMNT, my go-to electrolyte drink mix that I recommend to anyone who wants to stay hydrated.  Everyone needs electrolytes to function and when you sweat, adopt a low-carb diet, or practice intermittent fasting, your electrolyte needs increase. If electrolytes aren’t replaced, it’s common to experience headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. LMNT replaces these essential electrolytes with NO sugar, NO coloring, NO artificial ingredients, or any other junk. And it tastes absolutely delicious! I really love all of their flavors, but my favorite is raspberry. As a member of our community, you can claim a free LMNT Sample Pack - you only cover the cost of shipping.

Find out when your 28-day cycle starts, what foods to eat, and activities you should and should NOT do during each phase of this cycle. Learn about the test you can do to check your hormone levels, why it's important to know their levels and the perfect time to implement a fast to correct any hormonal imbalances you may have.

 

“The body is a miracle and when you learn how to fast and time it around your cycle, you’ll be blown away by what your body is designed to be. ”

- Dr. Mindy Pelz
