The Importance of Adding Foods

The approach to balancing hormones begins not by cutting out foods but by introducing more nourishing options into the diet. Many popular diets, such as keto and intermittent fasting, often neglect crucial nutrients that support hormonal health, like carbohydrates needed for proper thyroid function and ovulation. By focusing on adding in nourishing foods rather than restricting them, individuals can better learn how to effectively nourish their bodies for improved hormonal balance. This method emphasizes the need to first establish a dietary foundation before addressing specific hormonal issues.
