Hormonal balance

GO BACK TO THE DAILY MENU

When it comes to hormonal balance, the key is providing the body with the proper amount of carbs, fats and protein. I studied this menu to nourish the hormones with the right micronutrients, macronutrients and a touch of phytoestrogens.

Suggested herbal supplement: Vitex (Agnus Castus) by pure encapsulations (225mg, 1 capsule before going to bed, for 3 months)

BREAKFAST

Cereal bowl

50g whole grains. Choose one of the following: oat flakes, quinoa flakes, farro flakes or buckwheat flakes
1 cup almond milk
¼ papaya (normal size), cut into cubes
1 tbsp cacao nibs
1 tsp almond butter
1 tsp bee pollen (optional)
Cinnamon powder

LUNCH

Refreshing bowl

*You can substitute the apple with 40g quinoa, wild rice, basmati rice, brown rice, millet, or farro

*Add one of the following:

½ avocado
5 green olives
2 tsp pumpkin seeds
2 tsp hemp seeds

What to drink: a cup of green tea, black coffee/espresso, or chicory coffee (Suggested time: 15-20 minutes after breakfast)

DINNER

Pasta bowl

70-90g pasta. Choose between lentil pasta, chickpea pasta, bean pasta, whole wheat pasta, quinoa pasta, buckwheat pasta, brown rice pasta
