Lets talk about phytoestrogens.
These are naturally occurring plant-based chemicals, which are structurally similar to oestrogen and exert a weak oestrogenic
effect. The great news is that you can
use them to gently help rebalance your hormones. Chickpeas and cauliflower are rich in isoflavones making this recipe a delicious and easy way of taking control of your hormones.
Why are phytoestrogens so important as we get older? They’re useful for all women but especially if you are going through the perimenopause, have endometriosis, fibroids or PMT (any symptoms at all during or in the run up to your period).
Check out the ingredient list below:
