Welcome! My guest today is Magdalena Wszelaki, who is a certified nutrition coach and an expert in hormone health. She creates beautiful recipes for healing yourself naturally using food as medicine, which is what this show is all about! Join us!

Magdalena shares the following about hormone health:

• Magdalena’s personal journey includes struggling with hormones, Graves disease, dominance, and Candida.
• Healing starts with the gut!
• The first steps for Magdalena were to combat Candida, heavy metals, and parasites.
• Journaling is an important step in becoming your own health detective.
• Retraining the mind is part of the healing process.
• Cravings are the body’s way to tell us what it needs.
• The different cravings you experience are evidence of mineral and vitamin deficiencies.
• Magdalena’s favorite ways to approach hormone balance focuses on the three aspects of digestion, liver, and sugar levels.
• The health of your gut bacteria directly relates to estrogen levels.
• Onions, garlic, parsley, and cruciferous vegetables are good for liver health.
• When Magdalena first came to America, she was shocked at the prevalence of sugar in EVERYTHING!
• A good way to remedy sugar levels is to have a protein, fat, and fiber-packed breakfast.
• One recommendation to incorporate fiber is to have 2 Tbsp. of flax seeds daily (that helps with hormone issues also).
• Magdalena discusses the big culprit hormones for fatigue, weight loss, and blood sugar levels.
• Tips to start improving hormone health: For breakfast, try smoothies or savory muffins. For dinner, eat early and eat light. Magdalena gives recipes for steamed vegetables with homemade dressing, and brown rice or quinoa.
• “Make breakfast your best friend, lunch an acquaintance, and dinner an enemy.”
