Healthy eating is the foundation of healthy hormones. Our hormones control everything in our body - from mood, energy, fertility, and stress responses. Food not only provides us with essential nutrients fundamental for hormone production, it also helps with processes to rectify imbalances. 

Let's touch on 3 key foods that support hormone metabolism:

1. Carrots

Carrots contain fibres that binds and helps to release to excess oestrogen that recirculates in the body. Excess oestrogen is associated with conditions like endometriosis, heavy periods, premenstrual symptoms and irregular cycles. Eating a raw carrot salad is a great way release excess oestrogens.

2. Avocado 

Avo's not only support blood sugars to balance, they're also full of monounsaturated fats and small amounts of saturated fat, both key building blocks to the creation of oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Without enough healthy fats, your body can’t efficiently produce or balance these hormones.

3. Cruciferous vegetables (e.g. kale, broccoli)

Cruciferous vegetables provide an amazing support to the liver to breakdown excess hormones and flush them out of the body. They're also rich in antioxidants, reducing inflammation.

So, moral of the story - you can easily find foods at your fingertips that support your hormones and never underestimate the importance of whole foods and liver detoxification. Daily burdens that are unavoidable require support to clear which is why we created the 6 Week Gut Reset for you.
