5 Foods Every Woman Should Include in Her Diet to Help with Hormonal Health
28 July, 2025
Did you know that the right foods can work wonders for your hormonal health? From balancing your oestrogen levels to easing PMS symptoms, the foods you choose can have a big impact. Here are five must-have foods to support hormonal health!
1. Cruciferous Vegetables (Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage)
These veggies are more than just nutritious—they can also help to keep your hormones in check!
These help to aid detoxification pathways, and therefore support oestrogen metabolism, helping to balance oestrogen: Progesterone levels.
Beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme which reactivates oestrogens, therefore meaning oestrogen can be reabsorbed back into the body. Cruciferous vegetables help to balance Beta-glucuronidase levels in the body and therefore helping to lower oestrogen levels.
đź’ˇ Top Tip: Try adding frozen cauliflower into your smoothie for a creamy taste!
2. Omega 3s (Oily Fish, Chia seeds, Flaxseeds, Avocados)
These healthy fats are inflammation-fighting heroes and are great for helping to sooth conditions like PMS!
Omega-3s help reduce inflammation in the body, which can ease those hormonal ups and downs and keep your cycles more predictable.
As a bonus, omega-3s support overall health, such as glowing skin, better mood, and even better brain function. What’s not to love?!
3. Whole grains (Quinoa, Oats, Brown Rice)
Whole grains are a great way to help to balance progesterone through aiding the oestrogen detoxification process by maintaining healthy digestion.
Whole grains also help to support the gut microbiome which helps to balance hormonal health.
Including grains like quinoa, oats, and brown rice in your meals can help keep your digestion on track and your hormones in balance. Plus, they’re a great source of fiber, which supports your overall health.
💡 Top Tip: Quinoa is not only rich in fiber but also high in protein—perfect for keeping you fuller, longer.
4. Herbal Teas
Teas are a great tool to use alongside food and can help to support detox pathways! A couple of examples are:
- Spearmint: Has been known for anti-androgen properties and can therefore support those with PCOS
- Nettle Leaf tea: Can help to relieve PMS symptoms including bloating, cramps and reduce excessive bleeding. This tea is also abundant in nutrients so is a great option to include in your diet!
5. Nuts and seeds
Small but mighty, these are a must for hormone health.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, which helps regulate your cycle and boost energy levels.
Brazil nuts are packed with selenium, a key nutrient for a healthy thyroid (and just 1 nut gives you your daily dose!).
đź’ˇ Top tip: Sprinkle a mix of seeds and chopped nuts over your morning oats or yogurt for an easy hormone-friendly boost.
The Bottom Line?
Hormonal health isn’t just about what you cut out—it’s about what you add in. These five foods are simple, delicious, and incredibly supportive of your body’s natural balance.
