In this episode, I dive into all things hunger and appetite. Do you find that you lack a consistent appetite? Or find that certain times of the day you aren't hungry at all and other times of the day you're starving? What about the push to eating a higher protein diet to those who seemingly can't stomach that larger volume of food?

I'm diving into some of the reasons and "root causes" as to why you may be struggling with lack of a consistent appetite and how not eating enough throughout the day can be a big contributor to middle of the night waking, as well as a sluggish metabolism. When you chronically under-eat and don't fuel and nourish your body properly, your metabolism down regulates.

EPISODE RECAP:

• The role of cortisol + cortisol imbalances with hunger + satiety.
• How gut pathogens like H. Pylori + SIBO affect appetite

I'm excited to be back to podcasting after taking the summer off!! I'm kicking off season 4 by sharing our unfortunate experience of an unexpected mold exposure in our bathroom at our Pennsylvania home. I discuss how we discovered the mold, the immediate actions we took as a result, some of the health issues we experienced, what I learned through the process, what I'd recommend if you're navigating mold exposure. I also share some clinical nuggets // thoughts on mold from some of the past clients we've worked with that have had mold illness.

I’m so grateful you are here, and I would truly appreciate it if you left a positive review, wherever you listen to the show. Can’t wait to be back with you again very soon!!
