Undereating, Period Problems & Perimenopause Prep | Hormone Healthy Eats with Lauren Chambers (Period Coaching)
On the Period Besties podcast, the hosts welcome hormone health coach and cookbook author Lauren to discuss how undereating, skipping meals, fasting, and omitting food groups can contribute to period problems and hormone imbalance.
Lauren explains research gaps in women’s health, notes that menstruating women may need around 2,600 calories daily, and defines undereating as under 1,500 calories, which can lower estrogen and progesterone, shorten the luteal phase, and impact fertility. She shares client patterns like fasting with partners, resulting in slowed thyroid function, increased cortisol, intensified PMS, and metabolic changes.
The conversation also touches on Ozempic concerns related to appetite suppression and bone health, especially approaching perimenopause, and emphasizes nourishing, cycle-aligned eating and stress regulation. Lauren describes her journey into menstrual work and outlines her cycle-based cookbook approach.
