Oestro… what?!
It’s ok… you are not alone 😊.
I only learned about it a few years ago… 🙈
If you’ve been following my letters, you might know about your *microbiome*! 👍🏻😄
Oestrobolome = a group of 60 healthy gut bacteria that are especially important for your hormones especially in menopause.
When those bacteria are thriving, your hormones will thrive! 👍🏻😄
They do 2 things:
✅ break down toxic oestrogen
✅ build up and activate good oestrogen
When those bacteria are out of balance, you might experience
😔 bloating and tummy upset
😌 hot flushes
😌 low libido
😔heavy or irregular periods
😔tender or swollen breasts
😌headaches
😌 weight gain
Sounds familiar?
How can you nurture those bacteria? 🤔
👇🏻By adding these into your diet 👇🏻
🥦 broccoli
🥕 carrots
🍊oranges
☕organic coffee
🫛 legumes (beans, peas and peanuts)
🥣 organic miso soup, tofu, soya milk and other soya products
All those foods are rich in natural *phytoestrogens* that
support your oestrobolome! 😊🙏🏻
What about men? 🤔
Yes! Healthy gut bacteria 🦠 in men also help metabolise testosterone 😊.
Which of those foods would you go for today? 🤩
Healthy weekend wishes,
