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.
