Are your daily habits secretly sabotaging your health and hormones? In this episode of Vital Balance with Jess, we’re breaking down four often-overlooked habits that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of fatigue, cravings, and frustration—without you even realizing it.

These aren’t extreme or complicated fixes. In fact, they’re small, everyday choices that can have a big impact on your hormones and metabolism when addressed.

Here’s what we cover:

1. Skipping breakfast (or not eating a balanced breakfast): Why starting your day with the right fuel sets the tone for blood sugar balance, energy, and hormone stability.
2. Poor sleep quality & sleep hygiene: How disrupted sleep interferes with your circadian rhythm, cortisol levels, and appetite-regulating hormones.
3. Not enough sunlight exposure: Why sunlight (at the right times) is essential for your circadian rhythm, mood, and Vitamin D levels.
4. Too much cardio & not enough strength training: The surprising way exercise imbalance can backfire on hormones.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel “off” even when you’re trying to be healthy, this episode could help you connect the dots and start making small shifts that add up to big changes.
