Binge Eating and Hormones: What’s the Connection?

Key take aways from this webinar include:

  • Changes in estrogen and progesterone across the menstrual cycle increase risk for binge eating.

  • The mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is the riskiest menstrual cycle phase for binge eating.

  • Not every woman develops binge eating across the menstrual cycle or during the mid-luteal phase - differences in genetic risk may predict which women develop binge eating in response to risky hormonal milieus.
