You know those times when you’re eating well and doing your best, but something still feels off: you’re dragging through the afternoon, snapping at your kids, or your period won’t get on a schedule.

I can’t tell you how many women come to me with that same story: no processed food in the house, meals that look healthy, but deep down their hormones are struggling. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three big mistakes I see most often when women are eating clean but still not feeling results. From undereating without realizing it, to self-sabotaging habits, to cutting out food groups that your body actually needs, you’ll see why your healthy diet might not be nourishing your hormones at all.

You’ll learn:

  • 01:28 Why undernourishment is the most common mistake women make
  • 06:31 How self-sabotage shows up in little daily habits 
  • 16:51 Why cutting out whole food groups often backfires

This isn’t about obsessively tracking every bite or hopping on another elimination diet. It’s about finally understanding what your body is asking for, and how to feed it in a way that feels doable, and actually supports hormone health.

Tune in now because the sooner you spot these mistakes, the sooner you can make simple shifts that move the needle for your hormones and your life.
