TMHS 353: Overcoming Our Secret Stressors & How To Stop Being Hangry - With Guests Sarah Fragoso & Dr. Brooke Kalanick

Published: May 28, 2019, 8:46 p.m.

When it comes to managing your health and finding a nutrition approach that works best for your body, it\u2019s important to remember that what\u2019s common and what\u2019s normal are two different things. Just because certain experiences and symptoms are prevalent in our culture doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re ideal.\xa0

For instance, well-known commercials insinuate that hanger (being so hungry that you become angry) is a common, laughable state of being. While hanger is a real emotion, it\u2019s not necessarily something you should be experiencing on a regular basis. Controlling your hanger starts with understanding what\u2019s physiologically happening in your body.\xa0

You\u2019ll learn about the five simple steps to balance your hormones, some surprising factors that could secretly be stressing you out, and how to customize your own personal healthy lifestyle with food, exercise, and stress management.
