211: How to Boost Your Energy and Balance Your Hormones (Without Diet Culture!) with Kate Gregory

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re so tired even after a full night’s sleep—or why your doctor keeps saying your labs are “normal”—this episode is your new favorite. Elizabeth is joined by holistic hormone expert Kate Gregory for a real conversation about what’s really happening with women’s health in their 30s and 40s.

They chat about burnout, magnesium, the truth about cortisol (spoiler: it’s not always bad), and why feeling good doesn’t require extreme diets or “fixing” your body. Kate shares practical, science-backed ways to balance your hormones naturally—and gives listeners a special discount on her 7-Day Energy Reboot and free private podcast.
