Hormone-friendly meal ideas
Let’s keep this week’s blog simple and to the point. The food portion of healing can get confusing..what do you eat, how to not get bored of it, and make sure you are hitting the micronutrients and macronutrients you need for healthy, happy skin and hormones..so here’s an example meal plan of what it can look like to eat an abundance of nutritious skin-loving meals that you feel satiated with - and also supports your blood sugar, hormones, adrenals, and more with at the same time! The goal is to focus on centering your meals around REAL, whole foods most of the time (it’s not about being perfect). And of course, this is just ONE example and this meal plan isn’t exhaustive - but sometimes seeing some options of meals and ideas can help to inspire and make your skin-healing journey a little less challenging!
