You’ve got your greens.
Your protein shake game is strong.
You never miss a workout.
But if you’re running on cortisol, iced coffee, and a prayer… your hormones might be waving a white flag.
Here’s the thing: doing “healthy” things doesn’t automatically mean your body is thriving. Chronic stress, skipping meals, and pushing your body too hard in the name of wellness can actually have the opposite effect. If you’re constantly feeling anxious, dealing with PMS like clockwork, or running on fumes no matter how much sleep you think you're getting—your hormones are likely out of balance.
Let’s break it down:
💥 Blood Sugar Crashes – When you skip meals (especially breakfast) or rely too heavily on caffeine, your blood sugar becomes a rollercoaster. This puts stress on your adrenals and keeps your body in “fight or flight” mode, aka the land of cortisol overload.
💥 Overtraining – Exercising too intensely, especially during certain phases of your cycle, can drain your energy and leave your body feeling more depleted than energized.
💥 Under-eating – If your meals are missing key components—like enough protein, healthy fats, and fiber—your body isn’t getting the fuel it needs to function, balance hormones, and recover.
So what can you do to start feeling like yourself again?
✨ Eat balanced meals – Every time you eat, aim for a combo of protein + fiber + healthy fats. This keeps your blood sugar steady and gives your body the nutrients it needs.
✨ Sync your workouts to your cycle – You don’t need to crush a high-intensity workout every day. Some days, your body might need a walk or gentle movement instead.
✨ Stop skipping breakfast – Seriously. Your hormones need nourishment early in the day to help regulate your mood, metabolism, and energy.
You deserve to feel good—not just survive on willpower and protein powder.
