Food as Medicine: Broccoli contains some powerful hormone healers, like di-indolylmethane (DIM) and sulforaphane!

In younger women, they may help promote detoxification and healthy metabolism of estrogens in the liver, preventing symptoms of estrogen dominance (like heavy bleeding or fibrocystic breast changes). In the wisdom years of menopause, when estrogen levels are naturally lower, they act as phyto-estrogens, meaning they can actually provide partial stimulation to the estrogen receptors!

Just one more reason to eat your broccoli! (Tip: To get the most nutritional value from your broccoli, eat it raw or wait at least 20-30min after chopping it up to cook it!) #foodismedicine #healthyfood #healwithfood #broccoli #supplements #vitamins #holistichealth #holisticgynecology #oberlin #wwhgyn
