I see this everywhere now.
High protein smoothies.
High protein brownies.
High protein cookies.
And yes…Getting enough protein matters.
High protein meals can help with:
• blood sugar regulation
• PCOS
• cravings
• muscle mass
• metabolism
• and overall hormone health
But hormones are about more than food and exercise.
There is one thing that can raise blood sugar, increase cravings, elevate stress hormones, and wreck sleep that most people NEVER think about:
LIGHT
Just like junk food…There is also junk light.
Artificial light at the wrong times can affect:
• cortisol
• melatonin
• sleep quality
• energy
• hunger signals
• and even how your body responds to food
So yes…Plan your high protein meals.
But pair them with high quality light for the biggest benefit.
