I highly encourage you to use all organic produce. Dressing made with healthy fats (avocado or olive oil) I use Primal Kitchen Greek (Get it here).  Additionally, you want high-quality proteins such as –grass-fed, pastured, or wild-caught protein.

Finally, since we are in the topic of balancing hormones, Golden Milk made with my famous Ancient Golden Paste is a great hormone–balancing concoction, and it’s also warming, soothing, and delicious. The combination of turmeric, coconut oil, coconut milk, sweeteners, and spices is warming and rejuvenating, and it’s something I personally drink regularly and recommend to those with all kinds of endocrine issues.
