eating doesn't matter if you're 20 or you're 70 to be able to balance your hormones this is really
critical because so many of us are struggling hormonally in this modern world and my mission
is to teach you how to come back in sync with your hormones so you're going to want to start
to bring in these five foods but I'm going to show you which hormone these five foods are good What
needle these hormones are going to move for you on which hormones so let's walk through this together
remember that if you have if you haven't read fast bite like a girl I don't care what age you are I
highly recommend you read it because it talks in that book a lot what I talk about is how there
is a lifestyle that estrogen wants you to live and there's a lifestyle that progesterone wants you to
live and this has been the missing conversation in hormonal health for all ages and you think
about this through I mean this is like something that just blew my mind when I discovered this 10
years ago we as women have never been taught to vary our diet to match these two hormones
and estrogen and progesterone are like twin sisters they look the same we put them in the same
category give them the same name as sex hormones but they have massively different personalities
which means they're a massively different food types that they like I've mentioned this in
fast like a girl that wit you know the estrogen she loves keto I call it keto biotic because I
want us always to bring be bringing more of the polyphenol and probiotic and Prebiotic
Foods into our life to support estrogen and progesterone loves hormone feasting Foods so
I'm going to talk a little bit about some of my favorites specifically for estrogen there
but these two are the two food Styles think of them as you're going to pulse in and out of these
two food Styles if you have a cycle great if you do and I'll show you how to do it with this with
if you have a cycle if you don't have a cycle no problem I want to show you how to do it based off
of the signals that your body is giving you so the two Styles keto biotic and hormone feasting apply
to these five fits so here we go number one my favorite an avocado okay so why would avocado be
so spectacular for our hormones well the first I put avocado in the estrogen camp and here's
why an avocado can help you support estrogen estrogen wants you to keep your blood sugar down
and if you add an avocado to almost every meal you slow the spike of blood sugar so I personally on
the days that I know I need more estrogen when I was cycling regularly that was day one all the
way through ovulation somewhere around day 12 13 14 15. I put an avocado with every meal that
I had I love avocado I was recently side funny note I was recently interviewed on the talk on
Tom bilio's impact Theory podcast and at the end he asked me if I had one food I could take
on a desert island with me what would it be and I said an avocado because that's how much I love an
avocado so not only does it stabilize your blood sugar but it also gives good fat to the brain
so remember the brain is 50 50 fat so it needs it thrives when we give it fat it nourishes the fat
in the brain the other reason I love an avocado is it also it it can feed the microbiome and you
need the microbiome to break hormones down so it's great when we're trying to build estrogen it fills
a lot of different buckets in helping support good estrogen production okay I gotta interrupt
this video because I have a free guide for you so you can Master fasting it's called a beginner's
guide to a fasting lifestyle and all you've got to do is click here and you can jump right in my
second favorite and this is more a group of foods that support women's hormones are bitter Foods
this is your Radicchio your dandelion this is uh lemon and ginger these are bitter bitter foods and
what bitter foods do is not only do they support gut good gut health but they support your liver
and we when we look at hormones on one hand we need to make hormones so when we look at like the
avocado we're helping to support the the making of estrogen when we look at Bitter foods and
we go okay it supports the liver it supports the the gut that is imperative to be able to help you
break down the hormones that you produced so Liver Health is key and there's no better set of foods
like bitter foods to be able to help you support a healthy liver so you can break all the sex
hormones down not just estrogen this would fall into the camp of supporting you throughout your
whole cycle I teach the women in my reset Academy that the time I like to come in with a big dose
of bitter Foods is during ovulation so if you are a cycling woman I call it the manifestation phase
in in fast like a girl but if you are a cycling woman bring it in during ovulation you have all
your progesterone comes in estrogens that are Peak testosterone Center Peak this is the time
to bring in the bitter Foods whereas we can look at avocado as being really important those first
10 days going into ovulation during ovulation we really want to make sure that we're bringing in
those better fits my post-menopausal women the bitter foods help you when the hot flashes show
up the bitter foods help you when you struggle to sleep because we've got to be able to get
something to help you break estrogen down you're getting less estrogen we need to help support her
breakdown and that's where the liver Foods or the bitter Foods or liver fins maybe I saw economic
liver fibs can help you okay number three this is one that I know not everybody knows exactly
how to do and some people think it's a little controversial neither why and that is seats
and there are two types of seeds I want you to eat and they they help two different hormones
the estrogen hero seed of the day are flax seeds so more flax seeds specifically flax
oil I love putting flax oil on my salads uh sometimes when I'm feeling like I just need
to break down estrogen a little bit more my skin feels dry mucosal membranes are a little
dry I'll do more flaxseed and so it's great for breaking down and supporting it does both
supporting estrogen whereas pumpkin seeds which are really yummy support progesterone
and the breakdown of progesterone so hopefully you've heard of seed cycling
um it's become a really interesting old healing strategy for supporting hormonal production I
think it's there's something really interesting about that again we've gotten way too complicated
with health we think it we have to especially hormonal Health like we're talking about HRT
and bioidenticals and what do you take I'm here to tell you let's start with your lifestyle and
when we look at seeds we can see that cycling in flaxseed in the beginning cycling and pumpkin at
the end supports the the production of these two major sex hormones so think of it from the seed
level my women that have hot flashes remember a hot flash that is low estrogen so more flaxseed
so and I mean the other ones are great too but that's a big one to think about okay number four
this one is my favorite it's my favorite you know I say that about everything actually all of these
are my favorites I pretty much eat all these every day and the fourth one is root vegetables so this
is your squashes this is your sweet potatoes these are your potatoes in general they help support
progesterone now I can tell you in my clinic in my online world we have done tens of thousands
of hormone tests my favorite is the Dutch test if you ever want to do a hormone test go to my
website you can find it there we have a whole new health coach that will come and and uh break down
your hormones for you and teach you how to read them but this is what I want you to know about
root vegetables is they will support progesterone and all these hormone tests I've done on women
the majority 99.9 percent of women that we've seen are losing progesterone we are in a rushing woman
world and the rushing woman as cortisol goes up progesterone goes down and I am since fast like a
girl has come out I am shocked at how many 20 and 30 year olds have lost their periods altogether
and that's largely because they're missing progesterone and you can bring progesterone
back by Inc increasing your root vegetables so sweet potatoes are my favorite I do all different
types when I go to the store I get the golden ones I get the white ones I get the purple ones they
all feed different parts of my microbiome and it makes it for a really yummy Delight when it comes
to the squashes same thing my new favorite one is Honey Nut I can get them at my farmer's market oh
my God they're so good if you haven't tried a honey nut squash highly recommend it but even
Acorn and spaghetti and butternut bringing those in will help you build progesterone so if you're
missing your cycle if you're anxious a lot I'm gonna recommend that you bring in more vegetables
I have I eat a root vegetable every couple of days and when I eat I eat it a lot okay number five
now this might upset some people I'm just gonna say gonna say it's got to be said and number five
is meat and when I say meat I've specifically met grass-fed steak is phenomenal but even poultry is
really good let me tell you why vegetarians don't stop here I want I want to walk this through this
you through the thought process here I'm not trying to convert you into eating meat but I
want you to think about this so what happens when we eat grass-fed steak you're getting all
the amino acids that you need to be able to make hormones so hormones have fuel requirements and
one of those fuel requirements is amino acids and a grass-fed steak has all the amino acids that
you need to be able to make all three hormones so super important to be a to get that in your diet
when we look at at poultry we're looking at our turkey and our chicken that has the precursors
has a key component in it for called tryptophan and tryptophan is an amino acid that helps you
make serotonin okay my menopausal women I want you to think about this as we're going through
menopause we're losing estrogen that's supposed to happen and so when we lose estrogen estrogen
is a precursor for serotonin and serotonin keeps us happy so if we don't have enough serotonin we
can feel the blues we can feel a little low so often what happens to get that serotonin Rush
is we reach for carbohydrates but you can get a precursor a major precursor for serotonin in
tryptophan which comes in the form of poultry so I hope you followed me there if you are looking
for a mood boost uh and and you're looking to increase not just estrogen but you want
to increase serotonin you need more tryptophan and that can come in the form of poultry so a
lot of nuance there I mean this is a this is a dense five things and if you are vegetarian then
what I want you to know is that you might have to supplement with tryptophan it might be that you
gotta slide that in there so make sure and you can get that in other supplements so that you can get
that serotonin lift to keep your moods up so there you go those five like key key five that we have
to be bringing in to keep ourselves hormonally balanced when you're hormonally balanced your
moods are balanced your Cycles are balanced your Cravings are balanced your your sleep is balanced
hormones dictate everything we do in life and these five foods are massively important for
that hormonal balance so as always I hope that helps put in your notes here's what I want to
do in the comments I want to know do you have any amazing recipes let's share share I want to
know do you have any amazing recipes with these five foods how do you use them really interesting
and I would be curious to see what we find as always hope that if you love that video and
you want to dive into more of the information I have on this channel go to this video If you're
trying to use fasting as a tool for weight loss congratulations it literally is the best tool I
have ever seen for weight loss I think you should start with fasting before you change your food
