- What you focus on EXPANDS!
- Hormones we’re focusing on: CORTISOL, INSULIN, Thyroid, Progesterone, Estrogen, and Testosterone.
- lt only takes 3 days to reset a hormone. Want to lower your cortisol and become insulin-sensitive.
- Want to see a nice spike in cortisol levels within 30 minutes of awakening, and then want it to come down.
- 5 Tips on Eating for Hormonal Balance:
- 31:10
- a. Eat a high protein breakfast within an hour of waking.
- b. Never go for more than 4-6 hours between meals.
- c. Eat a healthy protein, carbohydrate and fat at each meal.
- d. Stop eating by 7pm. You become more insulin-resistant after 7pm. You’re also not allowing your body to have restorative sleep if you sleep on a full stomach because you are either healing or digesting ~ can’t do both at the same time. When you’re sleeping, that’s the time your body heals. Same goes for in-between meals. No snacking! If you really feel that you have to snack or your blood sugar is too low, then do it.
- e.g. Wake up at 6am, Eat breakfast at 7am, eat lunch between 12-1. Eat dinner between 5-7pm.
- e. BONUS: Eat Mindfully! Enjoy every bite. Say a blessing before each meal.
- NO Experimenting! ~ No Intermittent Fasting. No Keto. No Low Calorie. No Dieting!
- Eat whole, real foods.
- Make one small change at a time. Keep an open mind.
- Foods to Avoid:
- Wheat (grains in general).
- Corn – corn and wheat can drive auto-immune conditions.
- Dairy – raises IgF-1 (i.e. raises insulin), and contains a lot of growth hormones.
- Alcohol – alcohol shuts down your metabolism because acetyl-aldehyde is a poison and your body always has to metabolize poisons first.
- Coffee – wean off over 3 days. Get buffered vitamin C. Take 600 – 1000 mg three times a day with meals. The next day, drink half the amount of coffee. The following day, drink half of that. The following day, stop all coffee. Should experience no side effects if you cut down on coffee this way. (I don’t think I can do this right now…)
- Nightshades – if you experience pain in your joints and/or muscles. They are potatoes, all peppers, tomatoes and egg plants. Does not include sweet potatoes or yams.
- Soy – it changes your hormonal balance. Wheat, soy and corn are the top 3 crops that are genetically modified in the US.
- Sugar
- Eliminating Coffee = Cortisol Reset:
- Highly addictive
- Stimulant / DRUG
- Disrupts circadian rhythm = hormone disharmony
- Disrupts sleep
- Can be toxic
- Causes anxiety and irritability
- Heart palpitations
- Hormones misfire causing weight gain
- Elevates CORTISOL (fat-storage hormone)
- Robs you of joy, restful sleep and control over your weight.
- Break the vicious cycle of sleeplessness, low moods, fatigue and chronic stress! Get back to soft bodies, not stressed-out bodies.
- Important Food Swaps:
- Get rid of sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, canola oil, and “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”. Instead, use Olives, Olive oil, Avocado, Avocado Oil, Ghee, and Coconut.
- Shift to organic foods, as much as possible.
- Swap Wheat/Gluten containing foods to Whole Real Foods.
- Swap Pre-packaged foods to Whole Real Foods.
- Swap Coffee/Caffeine to Teas.
- Swap Cow Dairy (Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Cream) to Almond, Cashew, Gluten-Free Oat, Coconut, Hemp and Pecan Milk.
- Change is a process… not an event. Small changes equal Big Results!
- You can reset your hormones just by changing your diet!
