Chia Oats for BALANCED ESTROGEN
Yes food can support your hormones… & No it DOES NOT need to be confusing.
I’m all about balancing health, optimizing hormones, and eating real whole foods. But I’m even MORE about reducing stress in the kitchen, eliminating overwhelm, and making nutrition SIMPLE. (because let’s be honest.. what/ when / how to eat can feel extremely overwhelming!)
This Fiber Packed Chia Oats is great for your hormones in general.. and it’s especially AMAZING for supporting healthy estrogen levels. Eating this during the follicular phase (or 1st half) of your menstrual cycle will help your body metabolize and regulate estrogen levels- which is pretty important when it comes to any type of hormone regulation!

This nutrient-packed bowl isn’t only full of hormonal benefits.. it’s also incredible for your digestive health too! (#winwin)
Here’s why I love it so much:
Chia seeds = support healthy digestion/ hormone clearance, provide healthy fatty acids, rich in fiber
Flaxseeds =estrogenic properties to regulate estrogen levels, support healthy elimination, aid in excess estrogen clearance if needed
Nuts= rich in healthy fats, some protein, rich in minerals
Pumpkin seeds= high in zinc to support testosterone, estrogen elimination, source of protein and fatty acids
Hemp seeds = source of omega 3 fatty acids, high in protein and fiber
Fresh berries= contain anti-oxidants, support ovarian function
Cacao nibs = magnesium rich boost
