Ever gotten a list of foods to eat and avoid for your hormones, followed it for a few weeks, then fallen off and wondered why it didn't work? This episode explains why.
Food lists dominate hormone nutrition advice, but they rarely create lasting change. We break down why black-and-white food rules leave people feeling confused, defeated, and disconnected from their bodies, and what actually works instead.
We cover:
Why knowing what to eat differs from understanding why it matters for your hormones
Why food lists leave out the parts of you that make you human: your schedule, culture, medical history, relationship with food and more
How focusing on nutrients and foundational eating patterns builds more flexibility that works
Why nutrition skills and confidence create long-term change, not short-term compliance
What nutrition counselling offers that a food list can't
Skip the search for the "perfect" food list. Learn to trust yourself, understand your body and build nutrition habits that fit your actual life.
