About this episode
These days, stress can feel inescapable. But did you know that what, when, and how you eat can help you deal with stress more effectively?
I sat down with Functional Medicine Dietitian Ali Miller to dive into the connection between stress, metabolism, and the food on your plate. In our discussion, we covered how to know if you’ve got a cortisol issue; using food as medicine to support your adrenals, thyroid, and hormonal balance; and whether intermittent fasting is helpful or harmful.
Plus, we talked about how you can use diets as tools to empower metabolic flexibility and restore your connection to your body’s feedback.
It’s a juicy episode! If you’ve been feeling a little (or a lot) stressed recently, this is information that could truly change your life.
