Ep. 30 The Power of Fiber for Hormone Balance

Tracy Season 1 Episode 30

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Tracy Erin Talks, Tracy dives into one of the most underrated health heroes—fiber—and its incredible role in balancing hormones, improving gut health, and boosting overall energy and mood. You may have heard about fiber as just a way to stay regular, but Tracy explains how it’s much more than that, especially for women dealing with hormonal imbalances.


Key Takeaways:


Fiber for Hormonal Balance: Fiber helps remove excess estrogen, reducing the risk of estrogen dominance, which can cause PMS, bloating, breast tenderness, and other symptoms.

Gut Health Connection: A healthy gut processes hormones more effectively, helping to keep your mood and energy levels stable.

Daily Fiber Goals: Aim for 25-35 grams of fiber per day. This equates to 2-3 cups of vegetables per meal.


Practical Tips:


Breakfast Ideas: Try a veggie scramble with spinach, kale, zucchini, or a fiber-packed smoothie with frozen zucchini for a creamy texture.

Lunch Tips: Build a hearty salad with 2-3 cups of veggies, add lean protein like chicken or salmon, and sprinkle some flax or chia seeds for extra fiber.

Dinner Solutions: Make an easy stir fry with broccoli, bok choy, snap peas, and your protein of choice, making dinner quick, filling, and hormone-friendly.


Why Fiber Matters:


Supports Hormone Balance: Fiber binds to excess estrogen, escorting it out of your body.

Improves Digestion: Helps keep constipation and bloating at bay, promoting smoother digestion and better hormone processing.

Affects Mood and Energy: Balanced hormones lead to better mood, less irritability, and improved energy levels.
