Your liver plays a very important role in the regulation of estrogen. You can support your liver by eating more cruciferous vegetables, reduce body fat, foster a healthy gut microbiome and by engaging in regular physical activity.
Here are 4 simple and immediate ways that you can begin to support your gut microbiome and optimize your hormone health:
Eat for improved gut function. Consume a diet high in vegetable fiber.
Decrease exposure to xenoestrogens (estrogen-like chemicals that influence estrogen function) most commonly found in plastics and fragrances.
Reduce refined sugar. Too much sugar can shift your hormone balance.
Eat foods that support your liver by adding cruciferous vegetables and limit alcohol intake.
I am here to help you explore this process and learn more about your hormone health and take charge of your health.
