Lara Briden - The Period Revolutionary
Leading the change to better periods and hormones
Metabolism and metabolic health are affected by many factors, including hormones, mitochondria, and the gut microbiome. A healthy metabolism can make it easier to lose weight.
Do you feel hungry all the time? Abnormally hungry? If so, it’s worth trying to figure out why. Potential drivers of abnormally high hunger include insulin resistance, gut and microbiome issues, low blood sugar, and food addiction—just to name a few.
In the latest episode of my podcast and YouTube video, I explore food addiction and some of the controversy around the term. I also discuss the next best steps on your road to recovery.
Why do antihistamines cause weight gain? And how does hormonal birth control affect metabolism?
In episode eleven of my podcast and Youtube video, I look at how common medications affect metabolism; why birth control that is androgenic is more likely to cause weight gain; and whether natural progesterone causes weight gain or weight loss.

There can be a strong hormonal component to abdominal weight gain. And in most people, that hormone is insulin.
In episode six of my podcast/YouTube video (released in May 2022), I discuss insulin resistance, including why you could have insulin resistance even if your blood sugar is normal, the role of mitochondria, and all the ways to lower insulin and improve metabolism.
Are you a morning person or an evening person? And could that affect your ability to lose weight?
In episode ten of my podcast and YouTube video, I look at chronotype, which is your individual disposition to be awake or asleep at certain times. And how that might affect your overall health and metabolism.
