The 5 Foods I Add to My Plate Every Week for Happy Hormones
When it comes to eating for hormone health, I’m not about strict rules or cutting out every food you love. I’m about adding in the things that make you feel good from the inside out — and doing it in a way that’s actually realistic.
Over the past few years of learning about my cycle and how my body responds to different foods, I’ve found a few staples that I keep coming back to. They’re simple, easy to find, and make such a difference to my energy, mood, and skin.
Here are the five foods that have earned a permanent place on my plate.
1. Flaxseeds
These tiny seeds are a fibre and omega-3 powerhouse. They help keep digestion moving (goodbye, bloating) and support healthy oestrogen balance. I sprinkle them over yoghurt, blend into smoothies, or stir into porridge.
2. Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, rocket — I love them all. Leafy greens are rich in magnesium, which helps with cramps and stress. I’ll add a big handful to my eggs in the morning or toss them into almost any dinner.
3. Wild Salmon
Oily fish is a must for me, especially for skin health and reducing inflammation. The omega-3s help keep hormones balanced, and I find my skin looks clearer when I eat it regularly.
4. Pumpkin Seeds
These are my go-to snack in the luteal phase. They’re high in zinc and magnesium, and I love adding them to salads for a bit of crunch.
5. Berries
Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries — they’re all packed with antioxidants and help fight oxidative stress (basically, the stuff that ages your cells faster). They’re also naturally sweet, so I use them to top smoothie bowls or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
Why This Works for Me?
It’s not about perfection, it’s about building a foundation of foods that work with your body. These five keep my hormones supported, my energy stable, and my skin glowing — and they’re so easy to include in everyday meals.

If you’re just starting your hormone-supportive eating journey, start with one or two of these foods and build from there. Your body will thank you.
