This webinar explores the connection between hormonal changes and binge eating across the menstrual cycle, highlighting how fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can influence risk.
Summary
In this session, participants will learn:
- 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.
