First question is from Nitten McKinley. What are the effects of low carb diets on hormones? Oh, this is a good question. Now if a low carb diet improves your health, oftentimes it will balance out your hormones in better ways, right? Poor health leads to hormone imbalances and then the hormone imbalances also lead to worse health. So it's kind of like it keeps getting worse. And the health typically leads to better, more balanced hormones. Okay, now that being said, let's say the low carb diet has nothing to do with improving your health. You're just doing it because you're trying to get leaner. You think it might get you leaner faster or you want to try this new diet and you're just pushing it and you're ignoring your body's signals. Here's what it can actually do for you. In men, really low diets for long periods of time can cause lower levels of testosterone. In women, sometimes you see thyroid issues from really low levels of carbohydrates over long periods of time. And I think that's because the low diets for them started to produce worse health. And then the side effect of that was hormone. So that's an example just talking about low diet, low calories and carbs. I would actually make the case though and wouldn't you agree that a low fat or a low protein diet is even more risky for hormonal issues. Well fat and protein is essential. Because they're essential. Yes, low carb diet can cause hormonal issues. Any low calorie diet for a long period of time. I don't care what it is. Here's a, I remember I read some study a long time ago that talked about the average female what she gains weight on today and then what the average female would need to actually hit the nutrient levels on a daily basis. And it's completely lopsided. The average female gain, and then this is, don't quote me on this because I don't remember the exact numbers. So I'm going to come around here. The average female gains weight I think on like 1800 or 1900 calories. So I'm going to, and the average female in order to hit all of her macronutrient targets needs like 2000. So if you gain weight on that and you're trying to lose weight and you're running a 1300 to 1500 calorie diet for a long period of time, I mind you there's all kinds of variables, your age, your weight, your muscle mass. So I'm giving generic numbers to get my point across. But if you are running in a low calorie diet for an extended period of time, there's a very good chance that you're not hitting your RDA for a lot of different nutrients. And over a period of time, that will affect health, which then in turn can affect hormones. And yes, so yes, low carb can do that. But also low fat or low protein, you're at risk of that too. In my experience, I've helped people solve hormone issues with, there's a lot of things that we would do. But I've had more success by raising people's fat intake and cutting their carbs in the reverse. So I've only ever, I'm trying to think throughout my whole career off the top of my head, I can think of two people that were following low carb for too long that we had to bump their carbs a little bit and then their hormones balanced out. But the vast majority were the opposite. The vast majority, I looked at their diet and we said, we need to increase your healthy fats. We need to increase your proteins. And then they had better outcomes. I actually had a guy who's testosterone levels went up 30% or something like that by cutting his carbs a little bit and raising his fat. Well, when intermittent fasting made its way back to the scene, I had issues with this actually with a few clients because it became an addiction to where they would stay so low calorie more than anything. Obviously low carbohydrate, but overall low calories at the end of the week to where it would start affecting all these visible signs and their skin, their performance in the gym. They looked a bit gond. There was just a lot of physical symptoms and signs that were very visible to me with that. And so that was just something that I noticed because it was being promoted so hard that this is the healthy way to diet right now. So they wanted to stay within that as long as they possibly could. So I had to address that a few times. I think anything that, I mean, here's a key takeaway here. Anything that is reducing your overall health will probably cause hormone issues. So really doesn't matter what diet it is. If the diet itself is not making, is it making your health worse? And usually this happens because people ignore the signals that their body is telling them and they stick to a diet because they've been convinced that this is the solution to all their problems, either because they keep reading about it or something. Or some Instagram influencer tells them this is the way you need to eat. And so they're ignoring the fact that their hair is falling out, that their nails are more brittle, brittle, that their sleep is off, that their digestion is off. And oh no, but I read that this is the way to do it. This is the healthy way. This is the detox period. I hate it when I hear that, right? Oh, I feel like garbage, but it's because I'm detoxing. That's the reason why I'm doing this. Your hair falling out is not really a sign of detoxing. I think you're nutrient deficient, you know what I mean? If you're healthy, clients, then you are going to notice negative hormone effects.
