Avocado- Great for Hormonal Balance!
Avocados are my favorite food. I can’t live without them! It didn’t use to be this way, though. Growing up in Poland during communism, there was hardly anything in the grocery store. We could get only oranges or bananas for Christmas. You can imagine that I had never tried avocados. I was introduced to the lovely green fruit for the first time after I had moved to the US. My first impression wasn’t the best – I didn’t like the texture so much. It wasn’t until I became vegan that I totally fell in love with this goodness—this sent-from-heaven […]
What can we do nutritionally to have a healthy breast?
It is well known that Hormonal imbalances and breast cancer is on the rise. The “Support for the cure” is present everywhere and it persist.

When comes to breast health we can do a lot of things to support breast […]

How Important Is Gut Health For Your Hormones?
Where is your gut? I bet you don’t know that the mouth is the first part of the gut. After we chew the food (which is a very important part of digestion), the food passes down the gullet into the stomach and then into the small intestine. The food is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine. After that, it proceeds into the large intestine, also known as the colon, and the final part of the colon leads on to the rectum, where waste products are stored until they are excreted. Simply put, that is […]
Importance of Inner Peace for Balanced Hormones.
Most of us spend the entirety of our lives looking for a way to be happy. Some of us will never find it, not because it is impossible but because we focus on the wrong things.
