First time making homemade pizza from scratch- I love creating healthier versions of my favorite foods at home :)    Compared to takeout pizza, homemade pizza has wayyy less salt, sugar, and fat and cost less than $15. It was also pretty easy to make 🍕

I ran out of turmeric supplements, so I decided to make a turmeric and ginger juice :)     Inflammation hits me pretty hard in my luteal phase, so eating/drinking anti-inflammatory foods helps a ton!🧡    This juice was super easy to make and actually tastes really good- but it is MESSY and your hands will stain orange lol. You can store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Hands down one of the best fish taco recipes I’ve ever made (and the only thing I had to actually cook was the fish)😋  
 
Wild caught cod seasoned with cumin and paprika, garlic lime avocado crema, and a honey purple cabbage slaw. So. Good.  
 
This recipe is rich in omega-3, antioxidants, glutathione, fiber, and sulfur. All amazing nutrients to help heal your body from the inside out💜 
 
Recipe from blog, whose podcast has been so insanely educational and motivating on my hormone balancing and clear skin journey :)

I’ve been working on regulating my nervous system, and switching from coffee to matcha (or no caffeine at all some days) has helped a ton🌞

Luteal phase-supporting meal prep🥬🥕🧄

I’m in my luteal phase and I feel like trash 🚮 all I want to do is eat pizza, but I know that will make me feel even worse!!

One of my favorite salad combinations🍓  
-Arugula  
-Fresh boiled & diced beets  
-Goat cheese 
-Diced strawberries  
-Crushed candied pecans 
-Sliced chicken breast 
-Topped with a warm balasamic vinaigrette 
 
It tastes just as good as it looks😋

We’re told to eat complex carbs, but what the heck are they?

When you think of complex carbs, think of 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫. Fiber can be found in foods like beans, vegetables, fruits, sweet potatoes (with the skin on), squash, oats, or seeds- NOT from sources like white bread/pasta/rice.

Fiber works to bind things our body doesn’t need and excrete them through our p**p. Which is an IMPORTANT function our body must do to keep our hormones happy (we should all be p**ping daily💩)

Today’s lunch was sweet chili teriyaki chicken lettuce wraps with crushed cashews, sweet potatoes, black beans, and avocado 🥑😋

The past few months I’ve mostly been eating 2 eggs for breakfast and calling it good. Which is probably why I’m so hangry everyday at 10am🙃 
 
Skipping breakfast, or barely eating it, further contributes to an imbalance in cortisol and insulin leading to fatigue, cravings, stress, and an increase in hormonal imbalance symptoms! 
 
WHAT you eat for breakfast is just as important as not skipping it. Having a balance of healthy fats, PROTEIN, and complex carbs (fiber) will help to keep you full and your cortisol/insulin levels at bay.  
 
Foods I’ve been incorporating into breakfast: 
🥬 Kimchi (probiotic for gut health)  
🥦 Broccoli sprouts (helps the liver metabolize estrogen) 
🧡 Butternut squash (a nutrient dense non-starchy carb) 
🥑 Avocado (healthy fat) 
🍞 Gluten-free bread that has a list of healthy  
ingredients (prevents inflammation if you’re sensitive to wheat) 
🍳 Eggs (complete protein)
