If I had to choose between prioritizing plants or protein for hormone health, I choose plants every time.  Now before you get up in arms and attack, I’m not saying protein isn’t important.  But let’s be honest most people aren’t struggling to eat protein they are lacking in plants & plant diversity.  Gut health plays a major role in hormonal health, balance and overall health & wellbeing. 

Your gut health can impact blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity, estrogen production & detoxification, it can even affect your menstrual cycle.  The American Gut Project gathered data from thousands of participants worldwide to analyze the factors influencing gut health. One of the key findings of the research was that the diversity of plants in one’s diet is the number one determinant of gut microbiome diversity.

The study indicated that those who consumed a greater variety of plant types per week had a more diverse and healthier gut microbiota compared to those who consumed fewer types. This diversity in the gut is associated with numerous health benefits, including improved digestion, stronger immune function, and a lower risk of chronic diseases.

Focusing solely on upping your protein intake isn’t going to improve your hormone health.  In fact focusing solely on the variety of plants you eat won’t do it either.  A balance on your macronutrients is key.  Managing your stress has a major impact on hormone health, how or if you exercise can have a major impact.  What you need is a comprehensive approach that address nutrition, fitness, stress & includes supplementation.  That’s why I created Belle Vitale.  For more info you can go to BELLEVITALE.com and see how the program is helping thousands of women of all ages improve their hormone health.
