Things I eat to balance my hormones!
Here are some things that I include every single day to balance my hormones and nourish my body:)
Gelatin: Gelatin is great for gut health and it contains amino acids that supports the metabolism that lean muscle meats don’t have!
Seasonal Fruits: Seasonal fruits contain sugar that supports metabolic function as well as vitamins and micronutrients to support metabolism. For the fall/winter, that includes:
Apples
Pears
Kiwi
Dates
Oranges
Figs
Cranberries
Pomegranates
Grapes
Persimmon
Cheese: contains calcium that helps my body reduce inflammation. If you can’t handle conventional dairy, look into A2, sheep milk or raw milk dairy products. I’m in New York and it’s def hard to find raw milk products, but I have been digesting cheese very well!
Red meat: Red meat contains proteins and fats as well as SO MANY micronutrients. Plus it just tastes better in my opinion.
Whole Eggs: Egg yolks are natures multivitamin. They also contain cholesterol which is NECESSARY for the synthesis of hormones.
Raw carrot salad: (Raw carrot, coconut oil + vinegar), Raw carrots to help with digestion and detoxification of estrogen. Coconut oil + ACV are antibacterial/antifungal which help to support gut health and detoxification.
Coffee with milk + sugar: Support metabolism and liver function! Coffee is soooo good for your liver. Include milk + sugar to help prevent stress responses.
Cottage cheese/greek yogurt: I make a cottage cheese and/or Greek yogurt bowl every single day. High in protein with a good amino acid balance and just tastes amazing! I always add fruit and raw honey for extra micronutrients🤍
Hormonal balance is vital for overall health, and diet plays a significant role in achieving this. Incorporating nutrient-dense foods can help regulate hormone levels effectively. Gelatin, often used in desserts and health supplements, is rich in amino acids that support gut health, crucial for hormone regulation. Eating seasonal fruits provides essential vitamins and micronutrients that improve metabolic function and keep your body nourished throughout the year. For winter, fruits like apples, pears, and pomegranates are not just delicious, but also powerful allies in supporting hormone balance. Dairy can be beneficial too—options like cheese and cottage cheese contain calcium, which is known to reduce inflammation, an important factor in hormonal health. For those with lactose sensitivity, alternatives such as A2 or raw milk products are suitable choices. Moreover, red meats provide proteins and vital micronutrients that contribute to hormone synthesis, while whole eggs offer a rich source of cholesterol essential for hormone production. Raw carrot salads can further assist in detoxifying estrogen due to their fiber content and when combined with coconut oil and vinegar, they promote gut health. Lastly, don't overlook your morning coffee! With the addition of milk and sugar, it may actually support metabolic function and liver health, aiding in stress reduction related to hormonal balance. Integrating these foods into your daily routine may significantly influence your hormonal health and overall well-being.
