Green Phase 1 - Days 1-10
ESTROGEN FOOD LIST
This list of foods is known to help support the production of (E2) estradiol, the beneficial form of estrogen that plays a key role in ovarian health, skin, bone strength, and mood regulation. This selection of nuts and seeds provides healthy fats, zinc, and vitamin E, all crucial for hormone synthesis. These listed legumes contain phytoestrogens and plant-based proteins that gently support estrogen balance. Cruciferous vegetables help metabolise excess estrogen while supporting healthy levels. Meanwhile, the good fats listed nourish hormone production at a cellular level, offering anti-inflammatory benefits and stabilising hormone fluctuations.
The listed number after the food is an approximation
net carb total per 1 cup. (We'll cover 'net carbs' in the future.)
Until then, it would be ideal to limit net carbs to no more than 100g per day in Green Phase 1, Days 1-10.
