Episode 65 -Fasting can Balance Hormones

Ep 65-Fasting and Hormones

Hello everyone welcome to episode 65 of intermittent fasting for life-Experiment of one. I am your host, Tracey Mack. 

Today I will be discussing how fasting can help balance hormones. Fasting can influence several key hormone systems in both men and women When used appropriately (like an intermittent fasting lifestyle).

Here are some ways intermittent fasting can help balance hormones:

1. Improves Insulin Sensitivity  

2. Supports Growth Hormone (HGH)

3. Helps Regulate Testosterone in Men 

4. Supports Estrogen Balance in Women 

5. Fasting Reduces chronic inflammation  

6. It Improves Leptin & Ghrelin (the Hunger Hormones) 

7. It Supports Cortisol hormone (stress hormone) 

8. It Improves Nitric Oxide & Circulation

Fasting coupled with a plant-based diet can improve nitric oxide production, which helps:

•Blood flow

•and Heart health

Most people come to intermittent fasting to lose weight but Fasting is not just a weight loss solution. Fasting can  help the body reset metabolic signals, reduce inflammation, and improve hormone sensitivity.
