Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive educational guide on all things pertaining to eating for hormone health. It sifts through convoluted and at times confusing nutrition science to give women the confidence they need to eat for their unique physiology. It includes menstrual cycle and hormone education, foundational guidelines, exploration of the science regarding many confusing nutrition topics pertaining to women's health, and over 60 delicious phase-specific plant-based recipes.

Understanding the delicate balance of hormones and how they are influenced strongly by both the internal and external environment can help women work with their hormones instead of against them. Too often trending diets lack adequate evidence for women of reproductive age. Until recent years, the majority of nutrition science has been conducted on men or menopausal women as the fluctuating hormones of the menstrual cycle were considered a difficult variable to account for in studies. This has left many women confused as to why popular dietary advice is not working for them.

Eating for Hormone Balance: A Plant-based Guide sets out to provide scientifically-backed education about dietary patterns that really do support women’s overall health and hormone balance. This book begins by outlining dietary foundations referencing relevant scientific studies before providing a selection of nourishing phase-specific recipes. It aims to address what to eat and how to eat for hormone balance while also providing valuable education about how the cycling female body works. Although this book focuses on “eating”, diet is not the only predictor of hormone balance. Women should not expect to balance their hormones through diet alone. The recipes in this book are plant-based because plant-predominant diets have consistently been shown in the research to be most supportive of long-term health. Plant-based does not mean vegan. Plant-based diets encompass any dietary pattern that has a strong focus on plants. The recipes in this book can be used by anyone wishing to add more plants into their diet and learn how to cycle sync different plants to the different phases of the menstrual cycle.
