Eating plant fiber in the form of veggies is one of the most important things you can do to support hormonal balance in perimenopause and menopause. This supports your gut microbiome, detoxification, as well as hormone creation, transformation and elimination. And eating more fiber helps us to control our caloric intake which is key to fat loss and weight management.
But we don’t always have a lot of time for meal prep, especially when we want to take advantage of beautiful summer evenings!
This dish is ready in 5 minutes and its main feature, bok choy, is a cruciferous vegetable. This means it’s rich in compounds that ultimately help us to get control over our hormones at any phase of life, and especially in perimenopause and menopause.
