You may have already noticed that your stomach feels tighter on certain days, or that a meal that sat well with you last week now leaves you feeling bloated by dinner. It's easy to attribute this to "gut issues" or think you need to cut something from your diet.
However, what if that discomfort is not just about what you're eating, but also about when and how you eat, as well as how your hormonal levels affect your body’s ability to digest food?

Hormones and digestion are not separate systems; they constantly influence each other. If you’re experiencing discomfort, such as constipation, brain fog, or inflammation, it’s worth considering factors that may be affecting your digestion upstream.

Here are a few areas to start paying attention to:

1. Progesterone and Slower Motility
During the second half of your menstrual cycle, known as the luteal phase, progesterone levels increase, which can cause a slowdown in digestion. As a result, meals may take longer to digest, and you might feel full more quickly or for a longer period. This is a normal part of your cycle and not a flaw. However, it may be beneficial to adjust your portion sizes or select foods that are easier to digest on days when your digestion feels slower. For example, consider opting for cooked greens instead of raw salads.

2. Cortisol and Digestive Disruption
When stress persists, cortisol levels remain elevated. High cortisol can redirect blood flow away from the digestive system, which may lead to symptoms such as bloating after hurried lunches or a decreased appetite during particularly stressful weeks. These effects are not just emotional; the underlying physical mechanisms are very real.

3. Blood Sugar Swings and Gut Sensitivity
Low blood sugar, particularly when meals are skipped or unbalanced, can increase gut reactivity. Have you ever noticed your stomach gurgles more when you're anxious and undernourished? The nervous system doesn't feel safe enough to prioritize digestion, so it doesn't.

4. Estrogen and Bile Flow
Estrogen is involved in the production of bile, which is essential for breaking down fats. When estrogen levels drop too low or fluctuate significantly, bile flow can slow down. This change can lead to nausea, gas, or pale stools. It's essential to recognize that these symptoms are not isolated; they are interconnected.

Digestion is not just a mechanical process; it is also a relational one. The hormones that influence your sleep, cycles, and cravings also affect how your body receives and processes food. Therefore, when digestion feels off, it’s important to consider not only “What did I eat?” but also “What has been happening in my life lately?”

Sometimes, the gut reacts directly to food. At other times, it may respond to the pace, pressure, or stress that your body has not yet fully acknowledged.

💪 Why Nutrition Matters for Strength Training

You can lift all the weights in the world… but without proper nutrition, your results will stall.
Here’s why fueling your body right makes all the difference:

🍳 Muscle Gain & Retention — Protein builds and preserves lean muscle so your training actually pays off.
⚡ Faster Recovery — Carbs + protein after workouts help muscles repair and soreness fade faster.
🦴 Stronger Bones & Joints — Nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and omega-3s rebuild the foundation your lifts depend on.
🔄 Balanced Hormones & Metabolism — The right foods keep estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol in check for optimal performance.
🔥 Sustained Energy — Stable blood sugar = steady energy all day long — not just in the gym.

Train smart. Eat smarter.
Your strength starts in the kitchen. 💥

✨ This week only: grab our 30-Day Trial for just $49/week (normally $69/week) and start fueling your results from the inside out!

Some days, stress doesn’t feel sharp or sudden -- it just lingers. Your thoughts keep moving long after the day ends, and your body never quite shifts out of alert mode. When that state becomes familiar, it’s often a sign that cortisol, your primary stress hormone, is staying elevated longer than it should.

Cortisol is essential. It helps you wake up, stay focused, and respond to real demands. The issue isn’t that it exists—it’s when it stops following a healthy rhythm. That rhythm can usually be restored, not through drastic changes, but by building in small, consistent habits that help your body feel safe again.

Here are a few ways to support that process:

**Get natural light early in the day.**

Light exposure within the first 30 minutes of waking helps anchor your internal clock. This encourages cortisol to rise in the morning, which helps energy and focus, and decline later, which supports sleep.

**Move your body in ways that feel manageable.**

You don’t have to push hard to regulate stress. Gentle, consistent movement like walking, stretching, or restorative exercise can shift your nervous system toward calm without increasing demand.

**Eat at regular intervals.**

When blood sugar fluctuates from skipped or unbalanced meals, cortisol often steps in to compensate. Meals that include protein, healthy fats, and fiber can help maintain stability.

**Create a wind-down routine in the evening.**

Your body needs cues that the day is ending. Whether that’s dimming lights, reading for a few minutes, or stepping away from screens, consistency helps signal that it’s safe to rest.

These are not all-or-nothing strategies. You don’t have to do everything at once for it to matter. Choose one or two that feel realistic, and give your body time to respond. Most systems don’t reset overnight, but they do respond to steadiness.

Ok, so I finally tried the weighted vest trend…
What happened??
Well… nothing too crazy. It was just one day — but here are my takeaways:
👉 Did it make my walk harder? Yes.
👉 Was my heart rate slightly elevated? Also yes.
👉 Did I probably burn more calories? Sure.
BUT Those calories can come with a cost.
Extra load = extra stress on your joints, spine, and posture.
So while it can boost strength, bone density, and cardio fitness — it can also make your knees, hips, or low back send you a few choice words if you overdo it.
My advice:
Start light (5–10% of your body weight), keep your posture tall, and maybe don’t go full “weighted-vest power-walker” on day one.
Your joints will thank you — and your ego will survive. 😂
But like all things, especially when it’s new — listen to your body.
See if your knees, back, or hips feel more sore than usual the next day.
(I could feel my knees, but with 2 ACLs and 3 meniscus surgeries… that’s kind of a given 🤷‍♀️)
