What to eat to help boost estrogen levels naturally:

▶️Foods with high amounts of phytoestrogens: flax seeds, sesame seeds, oats, millet, quinoa, legumes/beans, bean sprouts, nuts, dried apricots, peaches, dates, prunes, blackberries, pomegranates, garlic, fennel, sweet potatoes, yucca, asparagus, broccoli, green beans, onions, alfalfa sprouts, thyme, parsley, and turmeric.
▶️Healthy fats: coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, grass-fed/pasture-raised meat, wild-caught fish, etc.
▶️Ground flaxseed: Flax contains high amounts of lignans and can help boost estrogen or relieve symptoms of estrogen deficiency. In studies, a dose of 30 grams (4 Tbsp) per day has been shown to be effective for hot flashes. FYI: The flax must be freshly ground; do not buy pre-ground flaxseed.

Caution: If testosterone is also low, be aware that flax can increase SHBG, which can bind up testosterone and reduce free testosterone. This is where hormone testing can be especially helpful!
