This Creamy Pumpkin and Lentil Soup soup is the ultimate fall comfort meal! Try it and let us know what you think!

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tsp
2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
approx 800g chopped pumpkin flesh, plus the seeds
100g split red lentil
½ small pack thyme, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
1l hot vegetable stock
pinch of salt and sugar
50g crème fraîche (or dairy free alternative) plus extra to serve

Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the onions until softened and starting to turn golden. Stir in the garlic, pumpkin flesh, lentils and thyme, then pour in the hot stock. Season, cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, wash the pumpkin seeds. Remove any flesh still clinging to them, then dry them with kitchen paper. Heat the 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan and fry the seeds until they start to jump and pop. Stir frequently, but cover the pan in between to keep them in it. When the seeds look nutty and toasted, add a sprinkling of salt and a pinch of sugar, and stir well.
Whizz the cooked pumpkin mixture with a hand blender or in a food processor until smooth, then add the crème fraîche and whizz again. Taste for seasoning.
Serve with a spoonful of crème fraîche, a few thyme leaves and the toasted seeds scattered on top.

Our endocrine system is a delicate balance of hormones, and chronic stress disrupts that balance in more ways than we might realize. Here's how:

1️⃣ Stress triggers the release of cortisol, our body's "fight or flight" hormone. Too much cortisol over an extended period can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and even a weakened immune system.
2️⃣ Chronic stress can negatively affect the thyroid gland, leading to imbalances in thyroid hormones. This can result in fatigue, mood swings, and changes in metabolism.
3️⃣ For both men and women, chronic stress can impact reproductive hormones, affecting fertility and sexual health.
4️⃣ Prolonged stress can strain the adrenal glands, causing adrenal fatigue, which can manifest as extreme fatigue, body aches, and other health issues.

The good news is, understanding this connection between chronic stress and hormones is the first step in managing it. Self-care, stress reduction techniques, and a balanced lifestyle can help restore hormonal equilibrium.

Reach out to our team of practitioners if you're ready to turn things around and get tailored recommendations for stress (and hormone) management. We’re here to help!
