This week I explore our complicated relationship with the female appetite from a cultural and physiological perspective. I walk through the demonization of appetite and women’s disassociation from their body’s needs as well as the important role appetite plays in hormones, regulating reproduction, and blood sugar.

• Why women are very sensitive to a state of undernourishment
• How we get addicted to survival hormones 
• How suppressing appetite can negatively impact your digestion
• How appetite is a powerful gauge for your energy state
• Why our appetite, cravings and emotions are deeply intertwined
• How to tune into your appetite and let it guide you to your deeper needs
• Why eating more frequently can help you reclaim your energy

In this episode I mentioned:

• Ghrelin: much more than a hunger hormone
• Variation of Leptin During Menstrual Cycle and Its Relation to the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Gonadal (HPG) Axis: A Systematic Review
• Adrenaline: insights into its metabolic roles in hypoglycaemia and diabetes
•
