NUTRITION Nourishing You TOP TIPS TOWARDS BALANCING HORMONES 1. Include some quality (animal origin) protein with each meal, the size of your palm. 2. Enjoy a variety of green leafy vegetables such as kale and broccoli. These help the liver to clear out excess oestrogens. 3. Include some quality fats in each meal and snacks if possible: avocados, olives, olive oil, coconut, nuts and seeds. 4. Reduce refined carbohydrates and sugars (even tropical fruit) as it skews our oestrogens and can cause imbalances between oestrogens and progesterones. 5. Avoid ALL dairy products: ice cream, yoghurt, sour cream, milk, custard, cheese (for at least 3 monthly cycles to see a difference). 6. Cut out caffeine (for at least 3 monthly cycles to see a difference).
