Women's hormones, gut + metabolism

Women function best in a well-fed state

Alright ladies, listen up.

Your body will always fight for homeostasis and whether you like it or not your body requires carbs. How much? That is up to your discretion and individual needs.

It is no coincidence that women come to me trying to recover from their years of restriction and low carb dieting after it stops working *SHOCKING* 🙃

They are now putting on the weight they lost, their thyroids are trashed, minerals tanked and they put their bodies into a hyper reactive state reacting to everything they are putting in their mouths.

Mark my words. Any diet that discriminates against a macro group will go down as the most detrimental diets in history (especially for women). I’m talking to you keto, carnivore, low carbers!

Rather than doing something drastic because “carbs are causing xyz_” have you ever thought maybe you need to adjust your macro ratios and the types/quality of carbs you are eating based on how you live your life?

Repeat after me.

EACH MACRO HAS A PURPOSE!

How your body uses those macros is determined by your current state of health and the life you live.

Poor sleep? Long hike? Strength training? Stressful day of work? Laying in the sun? Poor digestion? THESE are all factors that effect your energy needs and how you will use said energy.

Something I know for sure is a healthy woman that understands her body is a woman that can utilize all macros; carbs, proteins and fats for energy effortlessly.

Imagine that? What freedom.

10 Things I wish women knew about their bodies

I remember when I first started learning about women’s health, nutrition and physiology in an effort to heal myself, I was so utterly and completely fascinated with everything I was learning, clearly this is one of the reasons I do what I do today.
Can you believe we were taught how to make stuffed animals in home ec class or how to play parachute in gym class but never once were taught about our bodies or how to nourish them appropriately?

We shoved chicken nuggets and french fries down our throats at lunch time of if you were feeling healthy you would get the garden salad dripping with PUFA oil. Maybe even a dessert from the vending machine.

We had an hour of sex education that simply was a video showing us how to use some scented toxic tampon or pad.

We were taught nothing about our bodies.

The very vessels we need in order to do life and live deeply and fully. The very things that create life if given the right environment to do so.

Sadly, we were never given the right environment or health education to thrive.

Don’t rely on anyone for your health – the government, the doctors, that pill.

Nobody is going to save you but yourself. Knowledge is power.

Learn everything, never stop learning and be curious.

Only you can heal yourself.
