Cooking for Hormone Balance<\/a>, a new book by my dear friend Magdalena Wszelaki, a hormone expert and chef and now author. It\u2019s a magnificent book with a refreshingly unique combination of sage advice for hormone balancing, together with wonderfully delicious and therapeutic recipes and meal plans. It will inspire all of us women to fall in love with hormone balancing cooking plus guide us in learning to listen to our bodies as our hormones become more balanced!<\/p>\n

The hormone quiz is great and the hormone overview comprehensive. It\u2019s a<\/p>\n

breakthrough program with more than 125 tempting, nutrient-dense recipes for thyroid conditions, Hashimoto\u2019s, adrenal fatigue, menopause, endometriosis, fibroids, breast health, PMS, PCOS, and other hormonal imbalances.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is also excellent coverage of gut health, low blood sugar and blood sugar balance, and the importance of the liver in hormone health. I love the 3-legged stool analogy!<\/p>\n

The dairy reintroduction categories are practical – with explanations about cow and goat dairy and fermented dairy – not something we often see addressed.<\/p>\n

I love the PFF breakfast (protein\/fat\/fiber), the 14-day meal plans, the fun tips like using the lemon rind and why, the section on castor oil packs, the seed rotation rationale\/recipes, the Food Apothecary with superfoods and herbs and spices, and the fabulous healing teas. I also I love that this approach encompasses Paleo, AIP, Anti-candida and Low fodmaps<\/p>\n

And of course, I love the recipe section, with all the beautiful and yummy images and the lovely blurb above each recipe \u2013 it feels like Magdalena is right here in the kitchen with me.<\/p>\n

These are some of my favorite recipes: Coconut Yogurt, the Hearty Beef Stew, the Zucchini Olive Muffins, the Seriously Mushroom Soup, and the Raspberry and Green Tea Lime Melties (this last one is also my favorite picture in the book).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve even had the good fortune of having Magdalena actually make some of these recipes for me and some colleagues at a conference (how lucky were we): the Farmer\u2019s Wife Breakfast and the Decadent Chocolate Cherry Smoothie (I switched out the chocolate for carob and added some extra protein powder).<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to try the Grain-Free Pizza with a topping of medicinal mushrooms, the Tart Cherry Sorbet, and Kudzu Calming Pudding!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a recipe book (and much more) and I highly recommend it for all women and for practitioners who work with women. I know many of you – my community of anxious women and practitioners – are already enjoying it and it\u2019s a book I\u2019ll be recommending over and over again!<\/p>\n
