Few of us are prepared for the general hormonal chaos that is triggered as levels of estrogen and other sex hormones begin to fall. "Hormones important to metabolism and health also plummet while hormones that promote weight gain and stress rise," says The Hormone Fix and MenuPause author. Most doctors typically only offer prescriptions to treat symptoms, never addressing the underlying cause. "But eating delicious, nutritious foods can rebalance hormones and give you your life back," she promises.
The basic diet Dr. Cabeca recommends is surprisingly simple: "Lots of green, low-carbohydrate vegetables with high-quality protein and healthy fats," she says. This reduces intake of excess carbs and processed foods, which brings down levels of belly-fattening hormones like insulin and cortisol. At the same time you get amino acids to quell hunger and build strong, metabolism-boosting muscle, and plenty of fiber to nourish bacteria in our gut that actively fight age-related health issues and belly fat. To take results to the next level, Dr. Cabeca recommends daily doses of her menopause superfoods.
