Hormones and Keto
Oh, the hormones. Can’t live with ‘em; can’t live without ‘em. No matter what your diet and
exercise regimen is, if your hormones are out of whack, you will definitely know it and it can be
hard to lose weight or you may even gain weight. From anxiety to amenorrhea to weight loss
stalls and fatigue and a list of other problems, a hormonal imbalance can wreak havoc in the
body.
Most often, simply adding some healthy carbs to your diet can help you balance out your
hormones and assist with post workout recovery, insomnia, fatigue, regular menstrual cycles,
weight loss, energy boosts, and can improve thyroid and adrenal issues.
Every person is different and what works for one may not work for another. The best way to
learn what works best for your body is to monitor your ketones while you carb-up.
