Episode 243- Why Fasting Was Hurting My Hormones: Burnout, Stress & the Truth You Need

Episode 243- Why Fasting Was Hurting My Hormones: Burnout, Stress & the Truth You Need

In this powerful episode of Hormones, Metabolism & You!, board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with nutrition pioneer Shana Hussin, RDN, for an open-hearted conversation about why the health trends we follow can sometimes backfire—especially when stress and burnout are involved.

What You'll Hear:

  • How fasting backfired during a season of high stress and adrenal exhaustion.

  • The role of hormones like leptin and cortisol in regulating appetite, sleep, and metabolic balance.

  • Why one-size-fits-all health plans fail, especially around hormone and gut health.

  • Shana's personal pivot—from rigid fasting to listening to her body and honoring circadian rhythms.

  • The healing power of grounding, gut support, and restoring rhythm over restriction.
