Passionfruit Cheesecake Chia Pudding
Chia pudding for the Ovulatory Phase
Try this abundantly delectable breakfast recipe bursting with essential macro and micronutrients to nourish your mind, body and soul in your ovulatory phase. At this time we experience a rapid surge in follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), lutenising hormone (LH), estrogen and testosterone followed by a stark decline. Typically, at ovulation women experience high energy, confidence, cognition, intuition and digestion making it the ideal time for raw salads, smoothies and cold foods which can be difficult for our digestive system to break down in other cycle phases.
Following the steep spike and dive of estrogen at ovulation it is essential to support our body with foods which may naturally support estrogen metabolism in an attempt to prevent estrogen dominance or estrogen related PMS in the upcoming luteal phase. As always, each meal should be founded in fibre, protein and nourishing fat to support balanced blood sugar and then supported by ingredients rich in probiotics, b vitamins and antioxidants to support a thriving gut microbiome, estrogen metabolism and the general reproductive process.
