What I ate this week to fuel my body during my follicular phase 💫🌱 🐟 🍋
✨️ My focus was - foods that would help me replenish lost iron from my period while also supporting my rising estrogen levels.
🦃 I chose lean proteins such as fish, chicken, ground turkey, and tofu rather than filling my plate with fatty beef or pork.
🫘 During this phase, it's important to eat plenty of fiber rich foods in order to have regular bowel movements. Constipation can cause a build-up of excess estrogen, which can lead to hormone related health issues.
🥕 Carrots are especially good for the follicular phase as they have a unique fiber that binds to estrogen and carries it out through your waste, ultimately preventing it from recirculating into the body.
🫛 Phytoestrogens found in various soy products, seeds, beans, and cruciferous veggies can also help control estrogen and keep hormone levels balanced.
