Improve our hormones naturally through the power of diet

Did you know 500,000 hysterectomies are performed yearly in the United States?

Statistics show that 80-85 percent of women suffer from hormonal imbalance. Some women live with these hormonal imbalances unknowingly; in fact, 70-75 percent are unaware of conditions like PCOS that may have manifested due to hormonal irregularities. Fibroid tumors, cysts, and endometriosis are also likely to develop in women who have unaddressed hormonal imbalances and nutrient deficiencies. It's best to avoid processed foods, trans fats, sugary beverages, caffeine, and high-glycemic carbohydrates. Xenoestrogens from plastics, laundry detergents, skin care products, and perfumes can disrupt our hormones. Food Intolerances/ Allergies disrupt our gut function offsetting hormone imbalances.

 Incorporating adaptogenic herbs such as rosemary, basil, thyme, cilantro, parsley helps regulate hormone function. Eating adequate protein carbs, and fats in its correct ratio balances our hormones naturally.

• Protein: supports blood sugar balance, provides essential amino acids for hormone production, rich source of iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. 
• Healthy Fat: supports blood sugar balance and healthy insulin levels, provides anti-inflammatory fatty acids, helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins 
• Fiber-Rich Carbohydrates: preferred fuel source of healthy gut bacteria, necessary for regular bowel movements and estrogen detoxification, provides satiety and curbs sugar cravings
