Celebrating the 50th episode today, so a big thank you to all of my listeners who have stuck with me throughout this journey as Fully Nourished is seeking to continually improve how we view female physiology on the planes of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual.

We are continuing our hormone series today, and we are going to take a deeper dive into plant foods, phytoestrogens, and functional fibers. I’m noticing another pendulum swing where people are beginning to over-demonize plants. 

There are nuanced examples where women are demonstrating benefits from cutting plants out of their diets, and my fear is that it will become the new fad diet that will push people back into the Carnivore diet, which we’ve already discussed, isn’t ideal, especially for the female physiology. 

It is critical that we learn to live within the rhythm of our bodies and understand that the spectrum of what our bodies need will shift with the seasons. Instead of approaching our nourishment from a state of fight or flight, we need to sit with our bodies, rest, listen, and pay attention to truly give our bodies what they need. 

In this episode, we really dive deep into nourishment and the roles that phytoestrogens play in this process. There’s so much more to the story than what you see on social media and in all the crazes that demonize seeds, seed oils, and soybeans. I can’t wait to share it with you and I know you’re going to love this episode. Tune in today!
