Description

Have you ever woken up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night or found yourself raiding the pantry mid-morning, even when you weren’t truly hungry? You’re not alone. In this episode, Kim breaks down why these frustrating (and often confusing) symptoms aren’t random at all they’re powerful clues that your metabolism and hormones are waving red flags.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The cortisol–blood sugar connection: Why stress keeps you wired at night, spikes blood sugar, and triggers cravings.
• How estrogen and progesterone shifts fuel night sweats & anxiety and why progesterone is basically nature’s Xanax.
• The role of liver and gut health in hormone balance and how sluggish detox or gut dysbiosis makes hot flashes, cravings, and belly fat worse.
• Sneaky triggers like alcohol, overtraining, and undereating that set the stage for restless nights and snack attacks.
• Practical reset strategies: from balancing protein and carbs earlier in the day, to winding down your nervous system at night, to improving sleep hygiene.

Key Takeaway
Your body isn’t sabotaging you, it’s signaling overload and imbalance. Night sweats, cravings, and insomnia are messages that your hormones and metabolism need support, not punishment.
