When estrogen is very low (after stopping HRT), food alone cannot significantly raise estrogen, but it can gently support estrogen-like activity and help mood, sleep, and anxiety
Foods that support estrogen (mild, natural) Include daily Flaxseeds – 1 tablespoon ground (best natural phytoestrogen) Soy foods – tofu, soy milk, edamame (small–moderate amounts) Sesame seeds – 1 tablespoon Legumes – chickpeas, lentils Fruits – pomegranate, apples, berries Healthy fats – ghee, olive oil, nuts (hormones need fat) For mood, sleep & anxiety (very important) Warm milk at night (with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom) Magnesium-rich foods – pumpkin seeds, leafy greens
Avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, late-night screens
Ashwagandha 1tab bd – helps anxiety & sleep (not estrogen, but balances stress) Shatavarighritam 1tsp– traditional herb that supports female hormones
Avoid oily spicy and processed foods. Regular exercise and meditation. Increase intake of raw vegetables and fruits. Tab Shatavari 2-0-2 Tab.Asthishrinkhla 1-0-1 Tab.Maryese 2-0-2 Follow up after 4weeks.
