Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're joined by health coach Emily Detrick, @littleraeofhealth on Instagram, to talk about hormone health, nutrition, and the truth about birth control. Emily shares her story of figuring out that birth control was affecting her body negatively and how she began to heal. We talk about blood sugar and cravings and explain how to combat the "need" for sugar. We also discuss cortisol, the stress hormone, and how it affects us alongside other hormones. Emily explains the importance of protein throughout the day in balancing hormones. Then, what's the truth about birth control? We explain the harms of hormonal birth control and why women are lied to from a young age about this. We also cover how to optimize hormone health for fertility and periods and share what toxic products we should be avoiding. --- Timecodes: (00:53) Emily's story (08:20) Blood sugar, cravings and protein (16:06) Cortisol (19:00) Eating to balance hormones (24:14) Birth control (35:40) Fertility & periods (55:40) Exercise, cold plung
