🧠 Brain & Nervous System Support
Egg yolks are one of the best natural sources of choline, a nutrient your brain uses to:
• Support memory and focus
• Calm an overactive nervous system
• Build neurotransmitters (like acetylcholine)
Low choline = more brain fog, poor focus, and mental fatigue.
💛 Hormone Balance
Hormones are made from cholesterol, and egg yolks provide the right kind:
• Supports estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and vitamin D production
• Especially important in perimenopause and menopause
Removing yolks can actually make hormone imbalance worse.
🧬 Fat-Soluble Vitamins (You need fat to absorb them)
Egg yolks contain vitamins A, D, E, and K all critical for:
• Immune health

👉 Egg whites alone do not provide these.

The fats + protein combo in yolks:

This reduces cravings and that mid-morning crash.

If you tolerate eggs well:
eat the yolk.
