Focus on Whole Foods

When it comes to balancing hormones, one of the best things you can do is focus on whole, minimally processed foods. Here are a few types to keep in mind:

  • Omega-3 Rich Foods: Think salmon, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts. Omega-3s help to reduce inflammation in the body and support hormone production.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with vitamins and minerals that help fight inflammation and support your body’s natural detox processes.
  • Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, and nuts are great sources of healthy fats that support hormone production and keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Pro Tip: Lately, I’ve been incorporating Hugh & Grace Marine Collagen Peptides into my daily routine, and it’s been a total game-changer! This unflavored collagen powder mixes easily into my morning smoothie or a cup of tea, helping to promote smoother skin, healthier joints, and better overall hydration. Plus, it’s a simple addition to support your body’s natural collagen production, which can decline as we age.

Making simple shifts in your diet can have a huge impact on your hormone health. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just focus on incorporating nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods into your meals.

One of my favorite go-to dishes that’s both delicious and supports hormone balance is my Anti-Inflammatory Salmon & Quinoa Bowl.

It’s packed with omega-3s, fiber, and vibrant veggies, making it the perfect meal to nourish your body and keep your hormones in check. I’ll share the recipe below!

Anti-Inflammatory Salmon & Quinoa Bowl Recipe

Ready to get started with a simple, hormone-friendly meal? This Anti-Inflammatory Salmon & Quinoa Bowl is packed with omega-3s, fiber, and nutrient-dense veggies. It’s easy to make, tastes amazing, and leaves you feeling satisfied and nourished!

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 4-6 oz each)
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes (diced)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, mix turmeric, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and coat with the spice mix. Let the salmon sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. While the salmon is marinating, cook the quinoa (or brown rice) according to package instructions. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Divide the quinoa between two bowls. Top with spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, and cucumber.
  5. Place the seared salmon fillets on top of the veggie and quinoa mixture.
  6. Drizzle the lemon juice over the entire bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley on top for an extra burst of flavor.

Why This Recipe is Great for Hormone Health:

  • Rich in Omega-3s: The salmon in this recipe is loaded with omega-3s, which can help reduce inflammation and support hormone balance.
  • Packed with Antioxidants: Turmeric, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens are rich in antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support a healthy immune system.
  • Fiber-Packed Quinoa: Quinoa is high in fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels—key for balanced hormones.

In addition to adding nutrient-dense meals like this Anti-Inflammatory Salmon & Quinoa Bowl to your routine, incorporating high-quality supplements can give your body the extra support it needs.
