HORMONES + MEAL RHYTHM

Hormones & Meal Rhythm

Your body responds to rhythm more than restriction.

This system is designed to regulate insulin, cortisol and hunger signalling through structured meal timing.

This approach helps to:

• Reduce blood glucose volatility
• Improve insulin cycling
• Lower stress-driven cravings
• Restore predictable hunger cues
• Support consistent energy

Why Meal Gaps Matter

Meals are intentionally spaced.

This allows:

• Insulin to rise and fall properly
• Digestive rest between meals
• Reduced constant glucose exposure
• Improved fat oxidation between meals

Structured gaps create hormonal rhythm.

The 2–3 Hour Structure

We use a minimum 2.5 hour structured gap.

This means:

• 2–3 hours between defined meals
• No grazing or picking between meals
• No “top-ups” within 60–90 minutes

This is not fasting.

It is structured eating.

Why We Do Not Encourage Grazing

Frequent snacking keeps insulin elevated.

Constant insulin exposure can:

• Disrupt fat oxidation
• Increase cravings
• Increase digestive load
• Create energy instability

Defined meals protect metabolic rhythm.

Rhythm Over Fasting

Extended fasting is not required for most women.

We prioritise:

• Stable meals
• Consistent spacing
• Reduced stress
• Sustainable structure

Hormones respond best to predictability.

This system works when rhythm is consistent.
