While we're back at it, jumping back into the hormone series, the hormone series is where I break down a specific

hormone, I tell you how it's affecting you, what happens if it's low or high, signs and symptoms,

and ways to adjust it and balance it naturally.

I also sometimes use the hormone series to teach you about activities and habits and

other things that affect your hormones and how it works.

And the best thing about the hormone series is if you scroll back through all of my episodes,

they're all labeled hormone series topic with a colon and then it tells you exactly what we're going to be talking about.

So they're really easy to find and they're every couple of episodes as I started this back in the middle of the fall.

So don't miss out on any of those episodes because they're really

helpful. And today's topic, the reason I chose a topic is because it is going to

include a little bit of conversation about cortisol and testosterone, which are both topics I've covered before,

so we're going to explain even a little bit more how those can affect our ability to feel good in our body

and see changes. And our hormone topic today is how

over exercising or over training affects your ability to see changes and

really affects your hormones in general. Now I know it's a little bit

hard to believe but I would honestly estimate that there are a decent amount of

people who over exercise. I have been coaching for probably 11 years now, nutrition coaching and when I work with someone for nutrition, I ask them about their exercise routine.

And oftentimes they send me their start form where they tell me all about themselves,

like a bunch of details I need to know.

And they'll tell me I work out five to six days a week for 60 to 90 minutes,

really intense workouts, or I work out seven days a week

and they're pretty intense.
