Registered dietician, nutritionist, and hormone expert Lauren Papanos is here to give us a crash course in hormones! With seven years of experience, Lauren knows her stuff. But she also knows the journey… since she had to heal her own hormone imbalances at the beginning of her career.  Today, Lauren will explain what hormones are, the functions they serve in the body, how the food we eat and the world we live in impacts our hormones, and what you can do to support the key hormones in your body. She’ll also share her thoughts on how hormones are impacted by common diet culture trends, like intermittent fasting and Ozempic.  SHORT ON TIME:  5:00 - Lauren’s journey to becoming an expert in hormone health  10:45 - Women’s Hormones 101  25:20 - Common endocrine disruptors to avoid in your daily life  30:00 - How intermittent fasting affects your hormones  40:00 - Developing a way of eating that supports your personal bio-individuality  52:40 - Lauren’s thoughts on Ozempic  Learn more about Lauren at www.functionalfueling.com or on IG @functional.fueling  Book your complimentary 20-minute Discovery Call with Erin here! https://calendly.com/rawbeautytalks/20min?month=2023-10 Are you loving the show?
