Macros for Healthy Hormones

The foundation of healthy hormones is greatly impacted not only by lifestyle choices but also by what we feed our bodies.  The foods we eat play an important role in all of our hormones.  Not just the sex hormones, but also insulin, the health of your gut, & thyroid hormones.  Feeding our bodies the right foods in the right balance can help us ease through perimenopause & menopause, conceive healthy babies, have healthy menstrual cycles, balance our blood sugar, and maintain a healthy body weight.  Healthy hormones impact the quality of our sleep, mood, digestion, libido and so much more.  If something feels 'off', it's probably hormonally related.  The good news is that what you put on your plate can play a huge role in your hormone health.  

In this podcast we, discuss the building blocks of proper nutrition.  We're breaking down the topic of macronutrients so that you can begin to have a deeper understanding of how to maximize nutrition and help nurture the health of your hormones so that you can feel your best.

Hello, friends, and welcome to the Stop Chasing Wellness podcast.
If you're here listening to this podcast, we believe it's because you value your health
and you may be looking for answers to help you live your healthiest life in a more simplified
way.
You may be dealing with your own health struggles or trying to help a spouse or child find a
better way to deal with theirs.
Maybe you've just lost your way or you've gone down that confusing rabbit hole of conflicting
information that is swirling all around you.
Don't worry, we've got you.
As certified holistic health coaches, Kristin and I, I'm Gina, focus our health coaching
practice on the belief that what we put on our plate is a direct reflection of what's
going on in our lives.
This ranges anywhere from the quality of your social life and personal relationships to
the level of your physical activity and overall health of your spirituality practice, your
career, and your finances and education.
The foods you put on your plate are just one piece of this wheel that we call the circle
of life.
Before we introduce our guest speaker, we invite you to check out our website at stopchasingwellness.com
where you can learn more about our wellness coaching programs that we have to offer, to
purchase our book by the same name, Stop Chasing Wellness, and to learn a little bit more about
both Kristin and myself.
Our book is an overview of the pillars from which we teach, and we are so proud to share
this with you and hope that you will find it to be the catalyst that you need to help
point you in the right direction with your health and wellness goals.
And our online wellness coaching programs, they're done in a way that allow you to start
your program at a time that's convenient for you.
Coach Kristin and I are with you every step of the way to help guide you and educate you
and help you make this your very own personalized experience.
Our online wellness coaching programs are designed to teach you how and what you should
be feeding your body, as well as actionable steps to incorporate lifestyle changes that
support the health of your hormones and create vitality.
Basically, we teach you how to stop chasing wellness and to learn how to start creating it.
We have a growing catalog of hormone specific coaching programs that we absolutely love
and we know you will love them too.
The foundation of healthy hormones is greatly impacted not only by lifestyle choices, but
also by what we feed our bodies.
The foods we eat play an important role in all of our hormones, not just the sex hormones,
but also insulin and the health of your gut and your thyroid hormones.
Feeding our bodies the right foods in the right balance can help us ease through perimenopause
and menopause, conceive healthy babies, have healthy menstrual cycles, balance our blood
sugar and maintain a healthy body weight.
Healthy hormones impact the quality of our sleep, our mood, digestion, libido and so
much more.
So if something feels off, it's probably hormonally related.
And the good news is that what you put on your plate can play a huge role in your hormone
health.
In this podcast, health coach Gina and I, I'm health coach Kristin here, discuss the
building blocks of proper nutrition.
We're breaking down the topic of macronutrients so that you can begin to have a deeper understanding
of how to maximize nutrition and help nurture the health of your hormones and you can start
feeling your best.
So let's jump right in.
All right, well, hello everybody.
I am so excited for this podcast to share a little bit of information with everybody
so that we can just, I think people need a better understanding of macronutrition.
I feel like it's just like words that are thrown around so much that, but just like
with everything in America, we take all these ideas and these fad diets and we just, we
don't really take the time to dissect it at the core and really understand, right?
Like what does that mean?
Because we throw around the word macronutrition and what people maybe aren't understanding
is everybody's eating macronutrients, whether they're good or bad, but really understanding
how to get, how to maximize the nutrition in each of those categories is where that's
the secret sauce.
Right?
Like I said, like we, we've got all these, you know, oh, I'm doing paleo, I'm doing Adkins,
I'm doing, uh, you know, um, yeah, go ahead.
Counting macros.
Yeah.
But then people just jump on that, right?
They're like, oh, my friend's doing this paleo diet.
So they start doing it too.
And then when you don't, when you jump into something and you don't necessarily understand
it, then we just really like true to our American fashion, we just kind of screw it
up.
Right?
Like even keto dieting was like, this was not intended for like everybody, but everybody
feels like they need to do it.
It was really, it was developed by, by doctors who found that eating that specific way was
helpful for people with epilepsy to help minimize or reduce their seizures.
So it's not, you know, we take these ideas, I think in America and just run with it and
don't really understand what the heck are we doing and how can we make this better?
Um, so our macronutrients, just to outline this for everybody, there's three main macronutrients
and that's fats, carbohydrates and protein.
And like I said, we're eating all of those things all the time, whether you're eating,
you know, if your diet is like a fast food drive through diet or if you're like a plant
based vegan diet, growing your own food and raising, you know, raising your own chickens
and cattle, we're all eating macronutrients.
So that's just the, the names of each of those categories, but we need to have the best,
we need to get maximize our nutrition with each of those categories.
So, um, I think these are, I'm just going to say that this is the building blocks of,
of nutrition.
And you know, when Gina and I started specializing in hormone health, we dove into this and really
had to get, we got an education really on the entire endocrine system.
And when we tell people that we are hormone health coaches, I think that people naturally,
like I'd learned this even just last weekend, I was up, I was out of town for the weekend
at a, at a party for the holiday weekend that a lot of new people being introduced to people
and people saying, Oh, Kristen's a hormone health coach.
And people automatically jumped on that, like where they thought it was sex hormones or
women's hormonal health, right?
Like for menopause or those types of issues.
But a hormone health coach understands how the entire endocrine system works.
And that it's about, it's about all of our hormones, right?
Whether that's like, it could be, it could be menopause, perimenopause, those types of
things, but it's also blood sugar, it's gut health, it's thyroid health, right?
It's all of those things.
It could be having healthy menstrual cycle and understanding how all of that works, but
the building blocks of it all come down to what we eat because what we eat will help
with any of that.
It's going to help you with your blood sugar.
It's going to help you with your gut health or your thyroid or, or help you get through
menopause, right?
Help you with any of those issues that are related to hormones.
And I think the building blocks of all of that come down to understanding your macronutrients.
So like I said, when I started that, we all just lump into one thing.
Like remember in the, in the nineties when, when at, well, like fat was being given a
bad name.
I'm going to break down fat here in just a second, but, but we villainized fat and everybody
jumped on the bandwagon where nobody was eating fat.
And then we were all screwing up our health because then we were eating too many carbohydrates
and everybody was gaining weight instead of losing weight.
That's what happened.
That's exactly what happened when fat became bad.
Everybody became fat.
Everybody avoided the fat and became fat.
When you pull one thing out, you try to, you try to take out an entire macronutrient category.
Like we hear people like in the nineties, everybody villainized fat.
That was bad.
Nobody ate it.
And then everybody got fat because they were eating too many carbs.
And now we hear people like, I'm not eating carbs.
So people might be eating too much of one of the other macronutrient, you need to balance
it all out.
So hopefully we'll, we'll shine a light on some of this today.
But what I wanted to say before I define and understand fat a little bit better was the
understanding and the concept like that Gina and I teach at the core, the idea of bio-individuality
that every one of us are different.
So jumping on any one of these fads or these fad diets or this I'm going to do what my
friend is doing may not be the best idea.
There's some fundamental things that we can learn from maybe from those fads or from those
specific diets, or some of those specific diets may be there to actually heal or treat
or prevent an illness, right?
Or help reverse a diagnosis, right?
If it's something like, especially with gut health, a lot of these special diets are beneficial
for gut health.
But there, but we need to take into account that every one of us is bio-individually different.
So and we're all genetically different, right?
We all have different genetic makeup.
We're all maybe predispositioned for a certain illness, right?
Just because of our genetic expression.
So just putting a postage stamp on some specific way of eating isn't going to benefit every
single person.
So hopefully today we'll break down our macronutrients, fat, carbohydrates, and protein.
People can learn a little bit from each of those to start at least diving in to getting
the best quality macronutrients and then start learning how to tweak that and figure out
what works best for each of them individually.
So I think that's important and I think that's where health coaches are different than maybe
other people that teach, you know, nutrition or coaching from different perspectives.
We really look at the individual.
And I think that's nice.
I like that.
I'm going to talk about fat.
And like I said, I think in the nineties, fat was just, oh, it was vilified.
And I think a lot of people are still really hung up on that.
I don't know about you, but I hear, I think there's a lot of confusion about fat and I
think people still see fat as a bad thing, but I mean, so at the here's something that's
I feel like maybe enlightening or liberating our hormones, the hormones that we create
in our body are produced from fat and cholesterol.
So in order to have healthy hormones, we need to consume fat and we just need to find the
right ones because not all fat is created equal.
And the quality of that definitely matters because the better, the quality of fat that
you're eating, you know, the health, the better, the health of your hormones overall.
And let's just be honest, fat just tastes good, right?
I mean, fat is the part of the food that makes everything taste better.
Like fat in the cake frosting is the part of the cake that makes the frosting that makes
it taste good because you've got to have that fat with the sugar, like you have to
have all of it together, right?
The fat in the animal protein makes it taste good.
The fat in the French fries, right?
All of it is just, it's what makes it taste better, but yeah, we certainly don't want
you eating, we don't want you eating the French fries.
That's there's, there's different options here.
So okay, so there's three types of fat.
We have saturated fat and we have mono unsaturated fat and poly unsaturated fat.
So one of the, one of the ways that you can distinguish between these is that your saturated
fat will be solid at room temperature.
And that's things like butter and even like you've got like coconut oil and like picture
lard, like you've got your thing of Crisco in the can, right?
Those are your saturated fats.
And then your mono unsaturated and poly unsaturated are not solid at room temperature as far as
like the oils that are made from them, like avocado oil and olive oil.
If you put them in the refrigerator, olive oil will get solid, but that's, that's because
it's cold, not room temperature.
And also salmon and flax seeds and walnuts are good sources of some poly unsaturated
fats.
Those things, if they're made, you know, the oils are not solid at room temperature.
So we want to be eating, I think it's a good rule of thumb to eat.
If you can get your fat from the food sources.
So if, if mono unsaturated and poly unsaturated fats, and we can get those from things like
avocados and olive oil and salmon and flax seeds and walnuts, it's always better to get
your fat from food sources, right?
Like even when we're talking about vitamins and supplements, it's always better to get
those vitamins and minerals from the food, rather than taking like a multivitamin or
supplementation, like a food source is the best because your body can identify it and
it's going to absorb better.
So keep that in mind instead of, but instead of just reaching for like, we're not talking
necessarily about cooking oils, we're talking about just types of fats.
So then there's, I want to talk about the three types of fatty acids.
So these are the building blocks of our fats and hormones.
We have short chain fatty acids, medium chain fatty acids, and long chain fatty acids.
So your short and medium chain are produced in the GI tract, and this is from the breakdown
of fiber, which means that, so picture like if you have an animal out eating, like you've
got, this is your cows are out eating in the field, right?
They're out grazing in the pasture.
And if the cows are free range cows eating the things that cows are supposed to be eating,
like the grass is grown on the earth and they are eating that fiber from the earth, that
cow is then producing these healthy short and medium and long chain fatty acids.
So that also creates a short term energy.
So if it's, it provides an immediate or a short term energy, and that's considered a
preferred food for the tissues of our colon and our brain.
So again, we go back to like Gina and I always say, it's like you want to eat with the cows
should be eating in order to get the healthy, right, the healthy stuff, even if that comes
from dairy.
So if you're getting the dairy products from those animals, eating those from animals that
like it's really important to consume, like conventionally processed animal products are
not what we should be consuming.
We should be consuming.
If you're going to be eating animal or anything that comes from an animal, we should be getting
those pasture raised free range animal meat or products that come from that because it's
going to create better fats.
So that makes sense, right?
So then your long chain fatty acids, these are essential fatty acids that we get from
things like Omega three and six.
So these get stored in our bodies and they're not quite as easy for the body to burn.
So this is for our long term energy needs.
So there are types of fatty acids that we don't produce in the body and it's essential
for us to get these in our diet.
And they're really, really crucial for the health of our hormones.
So it's important to note that our body needs both Omega three and six in balance to reduce
inflammation.
So those long chain fatty acids that are produced from, especially from free range animals are
going to reduce inflammation.
So we worry about, we talk a lot about meat and Jean is going to talk more about protein
and break that down.
But I just want to point out that getting fat from animal, we used to think was bad.
Don't eat animal because you're getting the cholesterol and the saturated fat, but that's
true when it comes to commercially processed animal products.
But if you're eating animal, that's a good healthy animal, you're actually getting some
really good fatty acids from that animal.
And that's really important because we're going to be getting the better benefit of
the Omega threes and six.
So we've also often thought about saturated fat being a bad fat, but it's not that fat
that's bad.
It's the inflammation that's caused by that poor quality animal protein and those harmful
fats.
Those are the things that contribute to the heart disease and the weight gain and other
chronic conditions.
It's not that good fat.
So that's not the problem.
The grass fed beef is much higher in conjugated linoleic acid, actually kind of impressed
with myself that I said that without stumbling because usually every time I say that word,
I stumble over it.
It's your CLAs and those CLAs are a good fatty acid that has an anti-inflammatory benefit
and that contains antioxidants.
So we really want to be eating that.
Those are the good quality fats and things like, so let's say you're a vegan and you
don't, you're not eating animal products and you can get it from things like get your
avocados and your nuts and your seeds.
Use olive oil to drizzle on foods at the end of cooking or putting on your salad.
And if you are an animal eater, also including things like wild caught fatty fish like salmon,
getting good amounts of dairy and grass fed meats again from the good pasture raised.
So looking for that on your labels when you're buying that, getting the fats in that way.
So most people are just eating too little healthy fat and too many carbohydrates and
starting to crowd out some of those non-beneficial carbohydrates and increasing the amount of
healthy fats that you're eating is actually really good for you.
So let me talk really quick about some of the fats that are harmful to our bodies and
the things that we want to avoid.
So first is rancid fats and then there's also trans fats.
So rancid fat is harmful because these are the highly processed fats that increase inflammation
in the body.
So they're low in antioxidants and they actually disrupt estrogen and they are found in things
like canola oil and corn oil.
And when we talk, let's talk next about trans fats are also really harmful to the body.
So this is our hydrogenated fats and this is mostly found in things like processed foods.
So you see on the labels a lot, the food manufacturers actually brag lately about no trans fats because
the consumer is pretty savvy about the fact that trans fats are harmful to your body.
It's a hydrogenated fat, which means that it is a fat that is put through the process
of hydrogenation, which was originally engineered to give food a shelf life, to make things
shelf stable.
So that's why you find it in a lot of processed foods and things that need to sit on a shelf
so that they don't go bad.
So those fats don't go rancid, where I always like to say, if that fat has a shelf life,
that's what'll happen to you in your coffin, right?
We don't want that.
So let's avoid those.
These are actually the trans hydrogenated fats are actually, they disrupt your sex hormones
also, and it interferes with fertility.
These increase inflammation in the body.
These are fats that are really bad for your cholesterol levels.
And again, found in most common baked goods and fried foods.
So we know that a diet that avoids those trans fats and you can increase your mono unsaturated
fats, like we talked about being the healthier fats and the things like avocados and olive
oil, and even getting fats from like salmon and walnuts and seeds, that actually lowers
your risk of infertility and other ovulatory disorders.
So that's really, really good for the health of our hormones.
So those are some really good baselines, I think, hopefully that outlined some good
stuff for people to look at fat a little bit differently.
And like I said, it's not just like slather fat on your food, like in drizzling it, pouring
it on, or using a lot of oil to cook in, but looking to get that fat from the food sources
itself.
Like how good is an avocado just to snack on that and get some fat in, right?
Or add some to a salad or slather a little bit on the bread if you're having a sandwich
instead of mayonnaise, right?
Yeah.
That was great.
That was all really great.
I hope everybody found a lot of benefit in that.
I think fat is a confusing subject.
So hopefully that was helpful.
Are you going to talk to us about carbohydrates, Gina?
This is another one of my favorites.
Our other friend, carbohydrates are our friends.
You heard me right.
Don't fear the carb.
They're our friends.
Carbs are where we get our energy from and they drive the engines in our body that produce
our hormones.
And again, you're going to hear a theme here.
It's just like Kristen said, the best sources are whole foods and it's no different with
carbohydrates.
So we hear a lot of people saying that they quit carbs.
We believe most people mean that they quit refined carbs, which is your chips and crackers
and cereals and pastas and processed carbs like that.
We like to talk about getting our carbs from whole food sources and that helps us maintain
and achieve and maintain optimal hormonal health.
We want to work to crowd out things like white sugars, white flours, corn products, and other
refined carbohydrates that cause those blood sugar spikes.
And that's all those processed carbs that I just mentioned, the crackers and cereals
and those kinds of things, the white things, the white sugars, the flours.
When we're looking at quantity, low carb diets can help some people, but not all.
Again back to that bio-individuality, there's definitely, you'll hear a recurring theme
through all the three macronutrients.
We don't recommend very low carb diets from a hormone balancing standpoint.
And some people do better with higher carbs than others, but keep that at a moderate amount
and that's kind of where we want to stay.
It's all always about the bio-individuality.
We're all unique beings and we are genetically made up differently than one another.
And I actually want to throw a plug in here too, because a lot of times we talk about
bio-individuality and our genetic makeups.
We may have a predisposed genetic makeup to diabetes or heart issues, or our parents might
have that, our aunts and uncles, our grandparents that may go way back in the lines, but that
doesn't necessarily mean that's how they're going to present in us.
We have control over that gene expression and it all comes down to diet and lifestyle.
So the best sources of our carbohydrates are vegetables, fruits in whole form.
So not the juices, not have an orange, don't have the orange juice, have an apple, not
the apple juice.
So keep that fruit in the whole form because the fiber balances out that fruit sugar.
Carbonate starches are things like potatoes, squash, greenish, bananas, legumes, peas and
beans.
These are all great sources of carbohydrates for us.
And then we'll talk about grains a little bit too.
So let's talk about things that we want to avoid are refined grains.
Whole grains can be a better source of fiber and some people tolerate grains better than
others.
Always has been and always will be.
So just be mindful, keep in mind if you're gluten sensitive, consider omitting things
like your gluten grains are the wheat, barley, rye, spelt.
And then corn is most times genetically modified and it's contaminated.
It's not a good product in this country as it is.
Corn is most times genetically modified and contains glyphosate, which think about Roundup.
That's detrimental to our gut health and our health overall.
We don't want that in our food and we certainly don't want it in our bodies.
And then our gluten-free grains are often tolerated better by most people.
And in that case, you'll think about foods like quinoa, rice, buckwheat, amaranth and
millet.
So to wrap up the carb section, just remember carbs are our friends and we want to, we need
carbs.
There are energy sources.
We don't want to look at, and we're talking about whole food carbohydrates, not refined
carbs.
So I hope you found that section helpful.
And next we'll talk about the powerhouse macronutrient, which is protein.
Protein helps us create organs, muscles, nails, and the growth of our hair.
It helps our cells talk to one another.
It helps facilitate muscle contractions and it sends nerve signals out.
It helps make up our immune system and molecules and our blood cells and enzymes.
Protein helps assisting our cells in making new proteins and it's an essential component
of all hormones.
And again, that's what Kristen and I have been focusing our business on is hormone health
and just be mindful that we need protein to help create healthy hormones.
Protein helps balance out the hormones from amino acids, which helps slow the insulin.
And protein is made up of amino acids and there are 20 amino acids, but eight of them
are not produced by the body.
And we have to get those through our diet.
They're called the essential amino acids.
We can get our proteins from either plants or animals.
So vegetarians and vegans, there are plenty of plants out there that can help them get
those eight amino acids that we need to form complete proteins.
Examples of the plant proteins would include your spirulina, hemp and soy, quinoa, lentils,
buckwheat and amaranth.
And then as far as animal proteins, they do contain all eight essential amino acids.
And that we're talking about things like our grass fed meats, our pasture raised eggs and
wild caught fish are the best sources there.
And we always want to look for wild caught fish.
Farm-raised fish contains a lot of mercury and other toxins that we don't want in our
bodies.
Incomplete proteins can be combined with other plant proteins to form that complete protein
pile.
So you might get one essential amino acid from one plant and you can get another from
another.
But you can work with a well-rounded diet to get these essential amino acids that we
need to form our proteins.
And think of things like brown rice, peas, beans, chickpeas, and tahini.
They don't need to be eaten in the same meal, but you can eat in the same day or just as
long as you have that well-rounded diet of a variety of plants, you'll get all you need.
I'm just going to say, I love that pointing that out about the plant protein, I think
is super important because how many times do we hear, you know, if you have somebody
that doesn't eat a lot of meat.
I eat animal protein, but I don't eat a lot of it.
And you know, people will laugh or scoff, or especially you think you get picked on
for baby.
Like if you are a vegan, how do you get your protein, protein, right?
And I love that you're pointing out, like you don't have to eat all of those plants
at the same time to get that profile.
You can, as long as you're eating a wide variety of plants, you're getting that essential profile
in a day.
So you're getting all of those in.
That's really important.
I think that's just like, just, I don't know, it's testimony to the plants.
Right.
And again, talking about quality, we also want to talk about the quantity of the protein.
And again, this is unique to each person.
It's bio-individual to each of us.
Too little can decrease our hormone production and stimulate a stress response in the body.
And too high, too much protein can damage kidneys and increase body fat.
So it's all about balance.
Everything Kristin and I teach is about balance, yeah.
So we work, we have an Eating for Hormone Health program that we've recently released.
And after each chapter, we also have a homework assignment to help you, the reader, the client,
the listener, stay on track and hopefully get a better start to understanding food or
getting yourself in a better position to create optimal health.
And some of the things, do you want to talk about the homework assignment, Kristin?
Kristin?
Sure.
Or do you want to go through that?
Because I just love that you're pointing that out.
I think it's great.
Like we can dump all this information on you, but to put it in actionable steps is where
it starts to become like, here's how you make some changes.
So yeah, I think let's talk about our homework assignment for this podcast.
We are big on encouraging people to have some sort of like a journal or a notebook.
I have notebooks all over the place.
I write things down and I don't necessarily have a journal, but if I think of things,
I'll write things just, you know, and then good luck going back to find it when I need
it, right?
I'm a mess.
But if you have, get a journal, because I also think food journaling, food diary, keeping
track of what you eat is also really important, but get a journal.
So start by write down a list of the proteins and the carbohydrates and the fats that you're
currently eating.
Just write it out like page one, what kind of proteins do I normally eat?
What kind of carbohydrates am I eating?
What kind of fats am I consuming?
And then go back and compare that to the list of foods that we just mentioned in this section
and take a look at what stands out to you.
Where is there something that you can consider adjusting where you're like, okay, these are
the proteins I'm eating.
I need to shift this.
I need to eat more of this type of protein, right?
Or this type of carbohydrate, or maybe change up the quality of the animal protein that
I'm consuming.
That was a big eye-opener for me, like to know that like animal protein can actually
be really beneficial, but it really matters, that quality really, really matters, right?
And I think even some people think that buying all that quality, like the wild caught fish
or the pasture-raised animal can be very expensive, but the point is you really don't need to
be eating the amounts of it that you're probably used to eating.
So you're getting enough by having like a palm-sized amount of animal protein, right?
So we don't need to have those huge amounts.
So take a look at those different categories.
So we think that by doing that, by just kind of journaling on that, taking notes, kind
of just assessing, this can be a really eye-opening tool to help people as they move forward and
how to make those changes.
But just writing it down, it sounds so simple, but just doing that, that's a really good
homework assignment and a step that people can take toward moving forward and making
some changes.
Because again, we just keep reinforcing the quality of the macronutrition is where it's
like that's where the rubber meets the road, right?
Everybody can eat macronutrients.
That's just, everybody does it.
You can have a Snickers or an avocado.
You're getting fat either way.
Yup.
And canned carbs.
So do we want, let me just, I think we should close by explaining what this program is.
So we have an eating for hormone health program that we just put together.
Cause like I said at the beginning, everything in your endocrine system, that's all about
how the hormones are produced, all comes down to what we are eating that can help benefit
our hormones, whether that's blood sugar, gut health, thyroid, sex hormones, whether
you're going through menopause or you have irregular periods or you're trying to get
pregnant, all of this can be made better by what we put in our bodies.
So we created an eating for hormone health program.
So let's say you are interested in purchasing this program.
How do you do that?
You go to our website, you go to stopchasingwellness.com.
There is an offerings tab.
So on the offerings tab, you'll see all the other offerings that we have, but this eating
for hormone health program is there.
More details on what is included in the program.
So you get a beautiful guide that goes along with this program.
So you click buy, you purchase the program, then you're going to get some emails.
You're going to get an initial email that includes the guide with the downloads.
Those emails and the guide also include little coaching videos that Gina and I have done
that are part of helping you break down this guide that will help you understand everything
that you need to know for eating for hormone health, including there's a bunch of recipes
in this guide.
We're just really proud of this.
This is a really good one.
So you'll get an email every two days that'll kind of help you slowly unpack the guide with
the coaching videos and homework assignments.
And in addition to that, if you need more help and more handholding or more just somebody
to help sit down with you and really dive in and really break this down so that you
can get to the heart of some issues.
So maybe like your doctor, you've gone to your doctor and your doctor's like, you've
got blood sugar issues and you're at risk of being diagnosed as diabetic, but I don't
have time to work with you.
This would be a great program for you, right?
Or if there's a known issue that your doctor doesn't have time to help handhold you with,
this is where Gina and I can come into play with this program and help you break this
down.
And in addition to just doing the program, doing it at your own pace, doing it on your
own, we also offer one-on-one coaching sessions.
So if people need that, there's that as well.
And you can email us at support at stopchasingwellness.com if you were interested in learning more about
that or wanted to schedule a session.
So did I leave anything out, Gina?
No, you got it all.
You got it all.
All right.
I think this was really good.
I'm excited that we got this out.
I hope this is really helpful.
I hope people learn something.
We would love to hear from you guys.
So yeah, I think that's a wrap.
