Your Action Plan: Natural Ways to Balance Oestrogen and Support Your Gut

Yesterday we explored how oestrogen dominance connects to your digestive health. Today, we're diving into practical solutions you can start implementing right away to support your body's natural hormone balance.

Power Up Your Plate: Foods That Fight Oestrogen Dominance

Embrace Brassica Vegetables
Make broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cabbage your new best friends. These cruciferous vegetables are nature's liver detoxifiers, helping your body metabolize oestrogen more effectively. Try adding them to stir-fries, salads, or roasted vegetable medleys.

Boost Your Fiber Intake
Fiber is your secret weapon for moving waste through your gut faster, preventing oestrogen from being reabsorbed. Focus on:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Oats for breakfast
• Beans and lentils in soups and salads

Feed Your Good Bacteria
A healthy microbiome is essential for proper hormone elimination. Include these prebiotic-rich foods to nourish your beneficial bacteria:

• Chicory root and dandelion leaves
• Garlic and onions
• Asparagus and flaxseeds

Add Probiotic Powerhouses
Support your gut flora with fermented foods like kefir, natural yoghurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut. These provide the good bacteria your digestive system needs to function optimally.

Enhance Glucuronidation
Support your liver's hormone-clearing process with foods high in glucuronic acid:

• Mung bean sprouts
• Apples
• Broccoli
• Orange peel tea (simply infuse dried orange peel in hot water)

The Golden Elixir: Turmeric's Double Action

Turmeric deserves special attention as it works in two powerful ways:

1. Activates glucuronidation - helping your liver clear excess oestrogen
2. Protects your liver - acting as a potent antioxidant during the detoxification process

How to Make Golden Milk:

• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• Pinch of black pepper (essential for absorption)
• 250ml milk of choice
• Heat gently on the stove until warm

Plant-based milk tip: Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil first, add turmeric powder, then top up with your plant milk. Turmeric needs fat for proper absorption.

Feel free to customize your golden milk with honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or ginger powder to taste.

Reduce Your Toxic Load

Avoid Xenoestrogens and Hormone Disruptors:

• Choose filtered water over plastic bottles
• Never heat food in plastic containers or use plastic coffee cup lids
• Opt for organic produce when possible
• Select cosmetic products with fewer chemicals

Remember: everything you put into your body must be processed by your liver. If your liver is already sluggish, adding more toxins will only worsen oestrogen dominance.
