Hormones do so much more for us that simply support our reproductive health.

Often hormones are blamed for things that go wrong and being hormonal can sometimes come with negative connotations but hormones are basically messages being fired off from our endocrine system which loves sending these texts to our organs.

Hormones are essential for reproductive health in men and woman yes, but they are also key to sleep, mood, cognitive function, energy, libido, healthy arteries, and memory.

If we remember that our hormones are the communicators of the body - when we have any of these symptoms we know that they are out of balance and screaming at us for some attention.

Hormone balancing foods

We can use our food as medicine to help balance our hormones and encourage them in the right direction.

What and when we eat can help or hinder our hormonal health. It’s important to remember we are eating, in part, to support our hormones to stay happy, healthy and balanced.

Maintaining hormonal balance through food is a mixture of balancing blood sugar levels, providing enough good fat to synthesise and create hormones and supporting their metabolism and clearance from the body.

There are a few key things to keep in mind to assist including:

Macro Nutrient Balance

Having adequate protein and fats are essential to hormone production. Amino acids found in protein can help regulate the release of hormones and assist in regulating appetite.

Eating this way will also ensure we stabilise our blood sugar levels which will have a flow on effect for happy hormones.

Our meal planner includes plenty of plant based protein options, fatty fish (good fats!), chicken, nuts and seeds.

Up that Mag!

Magnesium is a super-nutrient that supports hundreds of different bodily functions.

It is a calming mineral, helping to reduce levels of adrenaline and cortisol and allowing your body to recover from a stressful event.

Magnesium also supports the production of serotonin, the “mood boosting” hormone, and melatonin, the “sleep” hormone.

Our Zing Wellbeing meal planner is layered with magnesium rich foods throughout to give you multiple sources of this essential nutrient. 

Love that liver

Responsible for detoxing everything from the body including our hormones – we have included plenty of greens in this meal planner as your liver loves greens.

Liver loving plant foods like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale can assist. 

This hormone balancing meal plan and hormone balancing foods aim to restore your natural hormonal balance, reducing symptoms of imbalance and to give you the energy you need to get through the day, week and month.
