Hello and welcome back to Top 10's You
0:02
Should Know.
0:04
Let me ask you something. Have you ever
0:06
felt like your mood swings, your energy
0:08
crashes, or even your weight struggles
0:10
don't quite make sense no matter what
0:12
you do? More often than not, the real
0:15
culprit hiding in the background is
0:17
hormonal imbalance. And here's the part
0:20
many people don't realize. Food plays a
0:22
massive role in balancing or wrecking
0:24
your hormones. Today, we're diving into
0:27
the top 10 foods that help balance your
0:30
hormones. These aren't just healthy
0:32
foods. They're powerful hormoneup
0:34
supporting ingredients your body
0:35
desperately needs. Stick with me because
0:38
by the end of this list, you'll see how
0:40
small changes on your plate can
0:42
completely change how you feel.
0:45
One, flax seeds. Flax seeds are one of
0:48
the most underrated hormone balancing
0:50
superfoods. Packed with lignens, plant
0:53
compounds that mimic estrogen, they can
0:55
help regulate estrogen levels in both
0:57
men and women. This makes them
0:59
especially helpful for women dealing
1:01
with PMS, irregular cycles, or
1:03
menopausal symptoms. They also promote
1:06
healthy progesterone balance, which is
1:08
critical for mood, sleep, and fertility.
1:10
But that's not all. Flax seeds are rich
1:13
in omega-3 fatty acids, which lower
1:15
inflammation and support thyroid health,
1:18
two areas often overlooked in hormone
1:20
discussions. The trick with flax seeds
1:22
is consuming them ground, not whole, so
1:25
your body can absorb all their benefits.
1:27
Add a tablespoon to your smoothie,
1:29
sprinkle it over oats, or stir it into
1:31
yogurt. Just this tiny habit can make a
1:33
noticeable difference in your hormonal
1:35
health. Two, avocados. Avocados aren't
1:39
just trendy, they're hormone magic.
1:42
Packed with healthy monounsaturated
1:43
fats, they're essential for producing
1:45
hormones like estrogen, progesterone,
1:48
and testosterone. Without enough healthy
1:50
fats, your body literally can't build
1:52
hormones, leaving you feeling drained,
1:54
moody, or even foggy.
1:58
Beyond fats, avocados are rich in
2:00
potassium, which helps balance cortisol,
2:02
the stress hormone, keeping you calmer
2:05
and more grounded. Their fiber content
2:07
also supports gut health, which is where
2:09
a lot of hormone regulation begins.
2:12
Think of avocados as the foundation your
2:14
hormones need to thrive. Slice them on
2:16
toast, mash them into guacamole, or add
2:19
them to salads. They're not just
2:21
delicious, they're your body's natural
2:23
hormone stabilizer. Three, broccoli.
2:26
Broccoli and other cruciferous
2:28
vegetables are your liver's best friend
2:29
when it comes to hormones. Here's why.
2:32
Your liver processes excess estrogen and
2:34
if it's overloaded, estrogen levels
2:36
spike, leading to bloating, mood swings,
2:39
and stubborn fat around the hips and
2:41
thighs. Broccoli contains a compound
2:44
called indole 3 carbinol, which helps
2:46
your liver metabolize estrogen more
2:48
efficiently, keeping levels in check.
2:51
It's also rich in sulforophane, a
2:53
compound that lowers inflammation and
2:55
improves detoxification pathways, both
2:58
vital for hormone balance. Steamed
3:00
broccoli stir-fried with garlic or even
3:03
blend it into soups can be game
3:05
changers. If you want to detox your
3:07
hormones naturally, broccoli is a
3:09
must-have. Four, wild caught salmon. If
3:12
there's one food that directly
3:14
influences hormones, it's wild caught
3:16
salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids,
3:19
it lowers inflammation and supports
3:21
adrenal health. Those tiny glands that
3:24
produce stress hormones like cortisol
3:25
and adrenaline. When your adrenals are
3:28
balanced, you feel calmer, sleep better,
3:30
and handle stress more effectively.
3:32
Salmon is also rich in vitamin D, which
3:34
plays a role in regulating sex hormones,
3:37
and thyroid hormones. Low vitamin D
3:40
levels are strongly linked to PMS, mood
3:42
swings, and even infertility.
3:45
Eating salmon twice a week can be like
3:47
hitting a reset button for your
3:48
hormones, helping your body return to
3:50
its natural rhythm. Number five, pumpkin
3:53
seeds. Pumpkin seeds are tiny hormone
3:56
balancing powerhouses. They're rich in
3:58
zinc, which is critical for testosterone
4:00
production in men and progesterone
4:01
production in women.
4:03
Zinc also supports thyroid function,
4:06
which influences everything from energy
4:08
to metabolism. Beyond that, pumpkin
4:11
seeds are high in magnesium, a mineral
4:13
that calms the nervous system, reduces
4:15
anxiety, and improves sleep quality.
4:17
Poor sleep and chronic stress are two of
4:19
the biggest hormone disruptors, so this
4:21
combo is gold. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on
4:24
salads, blend them into smoothies, or
4:26
just snack on them roasted. Think of
4:28
them as a natural multivitamin for your
4:30
hormones.
4:32
Six, Greek yogurt. Fermented foods like
4:35
Greek yogurt are fantastic for hormone
4:37
health because they support your gut
4:39
microbiome. Believe it or not, your gut
4:42
bacteria play a direct role in how your
4:44
body metabolizes hormones, especially
4:46
estrogen. A healthy gut ensures you're
4:49
not reabsorbing old hormones that should
4:52
be eliminated, which prevents imbalances
4:54
like estrogen dominance. Greek yogurt,
4:57
rich in probiotics and protein, also
4:59
helps stabilize blood sugar, a key
5:01
factor in balancing insulin and avoiding
5:03
hormonal crashes. The best option, plain
5:06
unsweetened yogurt with live cultures.
5:08
Add fruit or honey for flavor, but keep
5:10
it clean to get the full benefits.
5:13
Seven, walnuts. Walnuts are not only
5:16
brain food, they're also hormone food.
5:18
Their unique combination of omega-3s,
5:20
antioxidants, and polyphenols make them
5:23
excellent for lowering cortisol and
5:25
balancing mood regulating hormones like
5:27
serotonin. They're also particularly
5:30
beneficial for thyroid function, which
5:32
influences your energy and weight.
5:34
Unlike sugary snacks that spike your
5:36
blood sugar and throw hormones off, a
5:38
handful of walnuts keeps you full,
5:40
stable, and mentally sharp. Carry them
5:43
in a small bag as a daily snack, and
5:45
you'll notice how much calmer and more
5:46
balanced you feel throughout the day.
5:49
Eight, blueberries.
5:52
Blueberries are small but mighty when it
5:54
comes to hormone balance. Packed with
5:56
antioxidants, they fight oxidative
5:58
stress, which damages hormone producing
6:00
glands. They're also rich in vitamin C,
6:03
which lowers cortisol levels and
6:05
supports progesterone production. Beyond
6:08
that, blueberries regulate blood sugar,
6:10
reducing insulin spikes that cause
6:12
cravings and mood swings. Eating a
6:15
handful daily, whether fresh or frozen,
6:17
can act like a natural stress shield for
6:19
your hormones. Blend them in smoothies.
6:22
Sprinkle them on oatmeal or eat them
6:24
straight out of the bowl. They're
6:26
nature's candy that loves your hormones
6:28
back. Nine, eggs. Eggs, especially the
6:32
yolks, are hormone balancing heroes.
6:35
They contain cholesterol, which your
6:37
body actually needs as the raw material
6:39
to build hormones like estrogen,
6:41
testosterone, and cortisol. Without
6:43
enough cholesterol, your hormone
6:45
production suffers. Eggs are also loaded
6:47
with vitamin B6, which supports
6:49
progesterone, and choline, which helps
6:51
liver detoxification of excess estrogen.
6:55
If you've been avoiding eggs because of
6:57
cholesterol fears, it's time to rethink
6:59
that. Pasture-raised eggs are one of the
7:01
cleanest, most nourishing, hormoneup
7:03
supporting foods out there. Start your
7:05
day with them, and you'll notice steady
7:07
energy and fewer cravings.
7:09
10. Dark chocolate. Yes, chocolate makes
7:12
the list, but only the real kind. Dark
7:15
chocolate, 70% cocoa or higher, is rich
7:18
in magnesium, which calms your nervous
7:20
system, reduces PMS symptoms, and
7:23
improves sleep, all crucial for hormonal
7:25
balance.
7:27
It also boosts serotonin and dopamine,
7:29
making it a natural mood stabilizer.
7:32
Unlike sugary milk chocolate, dark
7:34
chocolate delivers the pleasure of
7:36
chocolate without spiking your blood
7:37
sugar as much. Enjoying a small square
7:40
or two daily can satisfy cravings and
7:42
support your hormones at the same time.
7:44

7:46

7:50
wisely. So, there you have it. The top

7:54
hormones. From seeds and nuts to
