FAQ
Common Questions About Hormonal Nutrition
Can I still lose weight with gentle movement?
Yes. With balanced hormones, low-impact fitness often outperforms high-intensity routines in midlife.
What if I feel more tired after exercising?
That may be a cortisol crash. Shift toward recovery-based routines to build energy instead of depleting it.
Do I need to exercise every day?
Not at all. Three to four hormone-supportive days are more effective than daily strain — rest is part of the plan.
