614. How Your Hormones Impact Fat Burning
Manage episode 411263901 series 2414604
Hormone levels play a direct and indirect role in how the body utilizes and stores fat.
Estrogen, dominant in the first half of your cycle, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. Higher levels of estrogen are associated with increased carb burning, which is why I often incorporate carb cycling in this phase of my cycle
Progesterone, on the other hand, exhibits distinct fat burning qualities. Research indicates that progesterone may enhance lipid metabolism, promoting the breakdown of fat for energy.
Listen along as we break down other hormones including testosterone and cortisol and how to manage expectations for your body.
