Follicular phase grocery list 🍋
Good food to eat before ovulation! Supporting our body during ovulation is super important! Our body needs to feel safe & have good nutrients in order to ovulate 🫶🏻
We’re also recovering from our period during this phase as well! So we need to replenish nutrients and gear up for rising estrogen.
We can eat certain foods to help our body detox excess estrogen like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale! These Cruciferous veggies contain compounds that bind to excess estrogen.
Our energy levels will start to rise again during this phase so we want to eat nutrient dense carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, whole grains, and oats! All of these contain fiber which also helps process excess estrogen.
To also support our body we want to focus on quality protein like chicken, grass fed ground beef, salmon, and eggs.
Food is fuel & nourishment throughout all of our menstrual cycle 🫶🏻
Hope this helps!!

During the follicular phase, it's crucial to consume foods that enhance hormonal balance and support overall wellness. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and kale are excellent for detoxifying excess estrogen, enabling your body to function optimally. These vegetables contain beneficial compounds that help bind to estrogen and support its healthy metabolism. In addition to vegetables, incorporating nutrient-dense carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and quinoa can provide the necessary energy needed as your body recovers and prepares for ovulation. Whole grains are vital sources of fiber, which helps in the processing of excess hormones and contributes to stable energy levels. Moreover, focusing on quality proteins like chicken, grass-fed beef, and wild-caught salmon will help nourish your body as it transitions during this phase. Eggs are also a fantastic option, providing essential nutrients without the excess hormones found in some commercially raised poultry. Embrace these dietary choices to ensure your body feels safe and nourished while balancing your hormones effectively.
Aren’t beets good to eat if it’s the time of month? I personally eat them so I don’t loose too much iron
