A good friend sent me a message after my Insta story post on the Keto Diet causes Hair loss.
She was trying to convince me that it was menopause causing the hair loss and had nothing to do with diet. “It’s all about hormones,” she said.
Yes menopause can cause hair loss, absolutely.
Double yes, it totally is about hormones.
But she is 100% incorrect to say that diet doesn’t play a part. Diet is a massive contributor to how your hormones function.
It’s been an eye opening last 6 months for me on the healthy food front and I’ve discovered most health information is wrong!
I’ve found a whole different angle of nutrition in a Ray Peat inspired diet. It’s based on nourishing, healing and nurturing your body. It supports healthy hormones, regulates your blood sugar, encourages repair and rejuvenation and is basically everything you need for a super healthy body, fast metabolism and easy weight loss/maintenance.
Did you know that body temperature affects weight loss?
Do you know what your resting temperature is?
How about 30 mins after you eat food?
Why do all these measures matter anyway?
Well turns out your body temperature and heart rate are like a little window into your metabolic system and give a good indication if it’s cranking properly or spluttering to a halt. Health professionals are using these measures along with blood work and checking a list of symptoms, to give a true picture of what’s working, what’s not and if your hormones and thyroid may be out of whack.
