Oestrogen Balance Diet
A Brisbane Naturopath and Nutritionist Approach to a Oestrogen Balance Diet.
It’s important to balance your hormones naturally. Before we delve into an ideal oestrogen-balanced diet, you must understand the benefits of balancing Oestrogen and what is Oestrogen dominance
Oestrogen dominance occurs when there is an imbalance in the ratio of oestrogen to progesterone in the body. This imbalance can lead to a variety of health issues, including:
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- Acne
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Fertility challenges
- Hypothyroidism
- Depression
- Uterine fibroids
- Perimenopause
- Metabolic syndrome
- Autoimmune conditions
The Benefits of an Oestrogen Balance Diet
By adopting an oestrogen balance diet, you can:
- Reduce excess oestrogen: Specific nutrients and herbs can help convert toxic compounds into more stable ones, supporting the liver and bowels in oestrogen metabolism and elimination.
- Restore hormonal balance: The aim is to bring oestrogen levels back to a healthy equilibrium, promoting overall well-being.
- Improve gut health: A healthy gut microbiome is crucial for regulating oestrogen levels and facilitating detoxification.
- Support detoxification: The liver plays a vital role in packaging excess oestrogen for elimination.
- Reduce exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs): By being mindful of what you eat and consume, you can minimize exposure to harmful substances that can mimic oestrogen and contribute to hormonal imbalance.
Key factors compromising balance: what are EDCs and how the affect Oestrogen Balance?
EDCs block, stimulate or disrupt the natural function of our hormone processes and metabolism. They are easily absorbed, at times presenting in higher concentrations than our actual hormones. Xenoestrogens specifically relate to those toxins/chemicals that imitate oestrogen and contribute to an overloaded body burden,
inflammation and immune dysregulation.
Key Oestrogen Balance Dietary Considerations
- Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods: Opt for fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
- Limit or avoid: Processed foods, sugary drinks, excessive alcohol, and caffeine.
- Include oestrogen-balancing foods: These may include cruciferous vegetables, flaxseeds, lentils, and beans.
- Support liver and gut health: Consider incorporating foods rich in fiber, antioxidants, and probiotics.
‘Phyto benefits’: the importance of leafy greens and phytoestrogens
Leafy greens, especially cruciferous vegetables and bitter greens, provide phytonutrients to assist metabolic detoxification and gut health for excess oestrogen removal. They are a great source of fibre to support regular bowel motions, and additionally provide prebiotics for a healthy microbiome. Phytoestrogens are a group of antioxidants found in plant foods and herbs. Relying on a healthy
microbiome, they gently interact with oestrogen receptors to balance both high and low oestrogen states.
Common food sources, also supportive of protein vital for hormonal health, include:
• Lignans: flaxseeds (linseeds), chickpeas, sesame seeds, tahini
• Isoflavones: organic non GMO soy, tempeh, edamame beans, miso
