Certain supplements such as bromelain, turmeric, DIM, and NAC can be a helpful addition to your endometriosis treatment plan.

Bromelain, found in pineapples, can help relieve symptoms, while turmeric is an anti-inflammatory spice that can be taken in supplement form. DIM, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, can improve the way estrogen receptors react to estrogen, and NAC has been shown to slow the growth of endometrial cells.

Remember, it's best to always work with a professional for proper supplement recommendations for your unique health profile, as some supplements may interact with other medications or may not be suitable for your individual needs.

Are you feeling bloated and uncomfortable after meals? You might want to watch out for these 3 foods that are notorious for causing bloating:

🫘 Beans and legumes: They are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which can be difficult for the body to digest, leading to gas and bloating.
🥛 Dairy products: Lactose intolerance affects many people and can cause bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort after consuming dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream.
🥦 Cruciferous vegetables: Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are great for your health, but they can also cause bloating due to their high fiber and raffinose content.

It's important to note that bloating can also be rooted in gut dysbiosis (leaky gut) and bacterial overgrowth such as Candida overgrowth. Working with a practitioner can help you get to the root cause of any imbalances and come up with a tailored health plan (including dietary recommendations) to beat the bloating for good!

It's essential to have a complete health history and symptom analysis when working with your healthcare provider, but when it comes to hormones, symptoms alone may not provide a complete picture.

Luckily, testing can help fill in the gaps! ✅

Hormonal imbalances can be identified, even hidden ones. Discovering imbalances can help relieve current symptoms and prevent future issues. Symptoms of excess hormones can also mimic deficiency symptoms and only proper testing can provide accurate information and help you determine what's really going on. Regular retesting can also assist with symptom management and ensure that your treatment is effective.

If you're experiencing uncomfortable symptoms that may be caused by hormonal imbalances, we can help you get to the root of the problem. Give us a call at (203) 275-6666 to get started!

Sick of dealing with headaches?

Studies have shown that B vitamins, including B2, folate, B12, and B6, could reduce headache symptoms.

You can find all eight B vitamins in a B-complex supplement, which is safe to take as B vitamins are water soluble and any excess is excreted through urine. Food sources of B vitamins include mushrooms, broccoli, avocado, sweet potato, fish and leafy greens.

Before you reach for the painkillers, try adding more B vitamins!

A healthy lifestyle can help reduce inflammation and manage endometriosis symptoms. One of the most effective ways to combat endometriosis is through an anti-inflammatory diet.

Prioritize whole foods, like brightly colored veggies and omega-3 rich foods found in fish and nuts. Consider going gluten-free and avoiding red meat, which is linked to endometriosis development. Use caution with dairy, and choose organic products whenever possible. Drink ginger or green tea for nausea relief and focus on fiber to help eliminate excess estrogen and ease constipation.

It's best to also stay away from overly processed foods, alcohol, and other inflammatory substances.

Making small changes in your diet can make a big difference.

A gluten-free, paleo, grain-free, granola bar recipe that you will fall in love with - Coconut Almond Bars!

Ingredients
3/4 cup raw almonds, lightly toasted
3/4 cup raw cashews, lightly toasted
1 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons water
Generous pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
Other ingredients to add: dried fruit, any other nut, seeds (chia, sesame, flax, poppy), vanilla, puffed rice or millet.

Instructions
Preheat Oven to 325F (to toast nuts and coconut) lightly toast nuts and coconut, in the oven, just until coconut is fragrant and lightly golden about 8-10 minutes.
Heat honey, salt, water and vanilla (optional) in a small pot over medium heat until it starts bubbling.
Turn heat off and pour the nuts and coconuts into the pot, stirring well to coat. Mixture may seem dry, but just keep mixing, until evenly coated. Spread out on a parchment lined 8×8 inch pan, or baking sheet, to about ¾ inch thick.
Using a greased spatula, spread out evenly and press down firmly, compressing it down as much as you can. Cover with parchment and use the bottom of a cup or pot or even your hands (if it’s not too hot) and press down really hard, compacting it as much as possible. This will help the bars stay together when you go to cut them. Let cool uncovered on the kitchen counter for 45 minutes. ( no longer)
Once it has cooled 45 minutes, place a cutting board over the mixure and gently flip it onto the cutting board (in one piece). With a big sharp knife, cut bars before they cool down completely (otherwise they will break when you try to cut them).
After you cut them, let them cool down completely on parchment (a couple hours) before storing. Store in an air tight container layered with parchment, or just leave them on the counter like I do and watch them disappear. Or wrap them individually with parchment and string.

🥗 Nourish your body with whole foods and supplements: A diet rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can help reduce inflammation and provide essential nutrients for hormone balance.

Protein is an essential nutrient that is vital for our overall health and well-being, especially for women. 💪 It plays a critical role in building and repairing tissues, supporting a healthy immune system, and maintaining proper hormone levels. But with so many diet trends and conflicting information out there, it can be challenging to know how much protein we actually need.

The truth is, everyone's protein needs are different, but as a general rule of thumb, women should aim to consume about 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day.

Consider incorporating plant-based protein sources into your diet as well. Believe it or not, foods like quinoa, lentils, beans, nuts, and seeds are all excellent sources of protein that also provide other essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Whether you're a meat-eater or a vegetarian, make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet to support your health and wellness goals. And remember, with a natural health perspective, it's all about finding balance and nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods.
