E53: Balancing Hormones Starts in the Gut: How Blood Sugar Impacts Your Energy, Sleep & Stress
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by hormone and weight loss expert Ciara Foy, who shares her personal gut health journey—from growing up in the low-fat, diet culture of the ‘90s to becoming a leading voice in holistic hormone health.
We dive into the deep (and often overlooked) connection between gut health and hormones, and how nutrition plays a key role in balancing both. Ciara reveals why blood sugar balance is the foundation of her practice, and how it’s the #1 strategy she uses to help women regulate hormones, reduce stress, improve sleep, and feel amazing in their bodies—especially during perimenopause and menopause.
She also breaks down:
- What it actually means to balance your blood sugar
- How to start doing it right now
- Why “eating too much” isn’t the problem (and what is)
- How to support your body in different seasons of life—without restriction
Whether you're dealing with bloating, burnout, or hormone chaos—this episode is packed with practical insights to help you feel more energized, calm, and confident.
