Why Protein Is Important for Your Hormone Health

Struggling with hormone imbalance, fatigue, or sugar cravings? Protein might be the missing piece. Here’s how it supports hormones, fertility and energy naturally.

Protein is essential for hormone production, energy, and blood sugar balance. Many women under-eat protein, especially at breakfast, and feel the effects in mood and metabolism later on in the day.

How Protein Balances Hormones

• Stabilises blood sugar → reduces PMS mood swings and cravings

• Provides amino acids → building blocks for estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones + everything else

• Supports detox pathways → helps eliminate excess hormones through the liver

How Much You Need

Aim for 20–30g per meal — roughly the size of your palm.
Include eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, lentils, or protein-rich smoothies.

Simple Morning Swap

Instead of cereal or oats swap for a protein-packed smoothie protein powder, berries, chia seeds, and collagen or eggs, beans and avocado — your hormones will thank you.
