40. Q&A “How Much Should I Be Eating?” | Understanding Your Body’s Season, Goals, and Metabolic Bank Account

In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m answering a common question that so many of you have probably wondered: “How do I know how much I should be eating?”

I share what I call your “metabolic bank account” (and why trying to withdraw before you’ve deposited enough always backfires), plus how a hair mineral test can help you identify what your body’s truly asking for right now.

✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Understanding the season your body is in and what it needs to thrive
• How to eat differently for fertility, postpartum, and hormone support
• Why “less” isn’t always better when it comes to food or exercise
• How to build your metabolic bank account before focusing on fat loss or muscle gain
• The role of minerals in supporting metabolism and energy
• Encouraging client stories of hormone balance, pregnancy, and restoration
