Nutritional Approaches to Common Reproductive Hormone Problems

 

Manage your food allergies and avoid top allergenic foods.

Manage your own food allergies and avoid the top 6 allergens: gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, peanuts, and soy (with the possible exception of fermented soy if you’ve tested and proven you are not sensitive).

The allergens that hurt hormone balance the most are gluten and casein (dairy).  Go through the elimination Diet Protocols.
