Hormones, Metabolism & the Fasting Myth with Lauren Papanos

This week I’m joined by nutritionist and metabolic expert Lauren Papanos to talk about hormones, metabolism, and why so many women feel like they’re doing everything right but nothing is working. We get into the real drivers behind weight plateaus, inflammation, and hormone imbalance- and why fasting, overtraining, and under-eating can backfire during our reproductive years. Lauren breaks down the hormones most doctors aren’t testing for, how minerals impact thyroid function, and what actually supports metabolism, fertility, and long-term hormone health. We also talk about strength training, carbs, and the lifestyle shifts that can make the biggest difference. Produced by Dear Media See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
