    Did you know that what you eat today can either support your hormones or throw them completely out of balance? In this episode of Sweet Insights with Ali and Amy, we’re breaking down the powerful connection between nutrition and hormone health.

    We’ll dive into:
    ✔️ How stress and nutrition work together to impact cortisol, insulin, and estrogen
    ✔️ The best foods to support hormone balance (and what to avoid)
    ✔️ How to stabilize blood sugar to reduce cravings and energy crashes
    ✔️ The impact of processed foods, inflammatory ingredients, and alcohol on hormone health
    ✔️ Practical meal ideas and snack swaps for better energy and balance

    Plus, Amy shares her personal journey of eating cleaner and how one small candy completely shifted her energy. If you’ve ever struggled with sugar cravings, energy dips, or wondering why certain foods make you feel ‘off,’ this episode is for you!
