Feeding Your Hormones Well

Eating to Feel Like Yourself

In the US, we are heavily marketed to daily, forgetting how much personal power we have over our own health and wellness. THAT IS BY DESIGN.

The majority of health products sold ARE SCAMS, containing 0 value to benefit your health and often requiring your body to detoxify heavy metals, pesticides and other pathogens that harm your health.

Focus on the foundations of good health, food, clean water, plenty of sleep. Here is a list of the best basics to support your hormones with real food:

🌿 1. Foods That Support Overall Hormone Balance

These nourish your glands and help balance estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and insulin:

• Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts)
  → Support estrogen detox via the liver

• Flaxseeds
  → Contain lignans that help balance estrogen levels

• Avocados
  → Provide healthy fats that support hormone production

• Eggs
  → Rich in cholesterol, the building block of sex hormones

• Wild-caught salmon & sardines
  → High in omega-3s for hormone and brain health

• Pumpkin seeds & sunflower seeds
  → Used in “seed cycling” for hormone balance

🌰 2. Foods That Support Adrenal Health

• Vitamin C-rich foods (bell peppers, citrus, strawberries)

• Magnesium-rich foods (spinach, almonds, dark chocolate)

• Adaptogens (maca root, ashwagandha – technically herbs, but often in powdered food blends)

• Bone broth
  → Supports gut and adrenal health

🩸 3. Foods That Support Blood Sugar

Blood sugar affects all hormones:

• Cinnamon
  →Improves insulin sensitivity

• Leafy greens
  → Stabilize blood sugar with fiber

• Berries
  → Low glycemic and antioxidant-rich

• Apple cider vinegar
  → Can reduce blood sugar spikes when used before meals

  🧠 4. Foods That Support Thyroid Hormones

  Thyroid controls metabolism and energy:

  • Seaweed (nori, kelp, dulse)
    → Natural iodine source

  • Brazil nuts
    → Extremely rich in selenium (just 1–2/day is enough)

  • Zinc-rich foods (beef, pumpkin seeds, oysters)
