Chew, Rest, Digest: The Overlooked Hormone Habit

Most people think hormone health is just about what you eat. But how you eat matters just as much.

When meals are rushed or eaten under stress, digestion stalls, leading to:

  • Nutrient deficiencies that disrupt estrogen and progesterone

  • Bloating, fatigue, or skin breakouts

  • Blood sugar crashes and irritability

 

Try this:

  • Sit down for meals—no screens, no distractions

  • Breathe deeply before your first bite

  • Chew slowly and fully to jumpstart digestion

  • Avoid meals when you're emotionally activated or multitasking

 

It’s not about eating perfectly. It’s about eating mindfully. That’s where hormonal support begins.
