Six foods to help balance your hormones? Does it sound too good to be true? Well, you know the meno years are all about our hormones, but did you know the food you eat can have a significant effect on how much they swing?

As our fertility declines so do our estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels, which can lead to the things that drive us batty like hot flushes, weight gain, moodiness, bladder weakness, itchy, dry skin and so much more. However, the foods we choose to eat can help balance them a little bit.

Recipe: Linda Kearns HRT Cake

HRT Cake?

HRT cake is something I’d never heard of until recently. But, it seems, back in the ‘90s, a woman called Linda Kearns created a cake to help women through the meno years and the women of the UK swore by it. It was published in the all-powerful Daily Mail, which is pretty much a guarantee for fame.
