Back with another Instagram Q&A! This week, Kristine and Johan catch up and answer questions about balancing hormones, determining caloric deficit, eating gluten-free when dining out, the prevalence of hormonal imbalance, finding the right caloric intake, and natural ways to improve testosterone levels.

Takeaways:

• Balancing hormones requires a holistic approach, including adequate sleep, stress management, and a nutrient-rich diet.
• Determining the right caloric deficit depends on individual factors such as activity level, goals, and biofeedback.
• When eating gluten-free when dining out, it's important to research the menu beforehand, communicate your dietary needs to the restaurant staff, and choose simple, unprocessed options.
• Hormonal imbalances are becoming more common due to modern lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, and lack of sleep.
• Finding the right caloric intake involves tracking food intake, monitoring body weight, and adjusting based on biofeedback.
• Natural ways to improve testosterone levels include eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, managing stress, limiting alcohol consumption, and considering supplements like boron, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D.
