Hormone Healthy Eats - by Lauren Chambers (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Eat in tune with your cycle to reverse uncomfortable symptoms of hormonal imbalance and optimize your health, empowering you to look and feel your best.

Your hormone health determines everything from your mood and energy to your weight, confidence and libido, making it the foundation of living a happy, healthy and symptom-free life. Luckily, nutrition is one of the best hormone-balancing tools at your disposal. Certified health coach Lauren Chambers helps women optimize their hormones with recipes that deliver the specific nutrients you need during each phase of your cycle.

Here, Chambers outlines the four principles of hormone balance and teaches you to support the ebbs and flows of your cycle with delicious recipes, simple tips, and natural remedies. You'll understand your body's cues, preserve energy, replenish lost nutrients, and reduce and reverse symptoms like heavy, painful, irregular periods; mood swings; acne; depression; anxiety; digestive issues; hair loss/thinning; and stubborn weight gain. Whether you're looking to get your cycle back on track, boost your fertility, or simply connect with your body, this book will support you on your health journey and ultimately help you thrive.

100 simple gluten-free recipes make it easy and fun to nourish your body through every phase:

• Menstrual: Protein and warming foods are key, so try the Cajun-Spiced Shrimp + Creamy Polenta or Bison Butternut Squash Chili
• Follicular: Get necessary fiber and probiotics with the Green Goddess Chickpea Smash Toast and Weeknight Chicken Cashew Stir-Fry
• Ovulatory: Keep surging estrogen levels in check with the Honey Sriracha Turkey Protein Bowls and Charred Cauliflower + Dates and Spiced Tahini Sauce
