How many times have you restricted your calories only to end up feeling bloated, irritated, and tired? Your training in the gym starts to suffer and maybe even your periods stop!These are huge red flags from your body that it’s not getting the nourishment it needs to feel safe. And if it doesn’t feel safe, it just won’t work the way you want it to.   In this episode of Biohacking Bestie I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Estima, a clinician on a mission to empower women’s health. In this episode we discuss her transformative journey from enduring painful, estrogen-dominant menstrual cycles to experiencing a joyous period while vacationing in Italy - and how you can do that same! She also shares her innovative approach of adjusting women's diet composition to their menstrual cycle, the truth about “good” vs “bad” calories, the shocking myth about metabolism, and the anatomical differences in women that lead to a powerful emotional release when we visit the chiropractor. Dr. Stephanie is a clinician specializing in female metabolism and body composition. She’s the author of “The Betty Body” and hosts the “Better!” podcast. Dr. Stephanie is on a mission to blend modern science with ancient wisdom to empower women's health and healing.Listen as we discuss…(00:00) - Understanding the power of your menstrual cycle (07:30) - Supporting female health through nutritional education (17:32) - Understanding the truth about calorie restriction and metabolic health (29:52) - Navigating aging and female hormonal health (37:55) - How to pair your menstrual cycle with your diet (50:13) - The relationship between dieting, exercise, and metabolism (59:51) - How chiropractic release can trigger emotional release …and more! Grab my brand-new book: Biohack like a Woman. Order now on Amazon: http://bit.ly/3TYMz5Z Find more from Aggie: Start optimizing your health here: https://biohackingbestie.com/Get daily Biohacking Bestie tips here: https://www.instagram.com/biohackingbestie/Get a 7-Day FREE meal plan here: https://www.fitasfuck.co/mealplanFind more from Dr. Stephanie:Website: https://hellobetty.club/Instagram: @dr.stephanie.estimaPodcast: https://hellobetty.club/podcastBook: https://bettybodybook.com/Thank you to our sponsors:Hosted on Acast.
