Why a Cookbook?

I believe that good health is an essential ingredient in a good life. I believe that the key to one’s best health is a lifestyle based on deliberate habits supported by solid evidence. That includes a diet with a variety of minimally processed foods in reasonable amounts. But that’s not the end of the story. You can tailor that diet to further meet your specific needs, and I’m honored to show you how in The Hormone Healing Cookbook.

My first book to reach a wider audience contained the idea that foods could be timed in a way to reset the body’s stress response. It included meal plans and recipes to provide practical applications. I was excited to share the idea. It seemed to me to be a big idea, a revolutionary one. I’ve always enjoyed healthful cooking, and it seemed like an afterthought to plug in some of my favorite recipes.

My readers’ feedback surprised me. They did find the program to be helpful, and they shared inspiring results. I was elated but also pleasantly surprised to learn that the recipes were a big part of their success.

I started sharing more recipes online, along with publishing two more books. Still, readers asked for a cookbook.

Well, I’ve finally delivered! And while there’s no way to deny that this book is all about the easy, delicious recipes, they are all in service to one idea: that specific foods can reverse a hormone imbalance and your symptoms can illuminate which foods to focus on. Daily cooking is more than a way to feed yourself. It is the center of a healthy and happy life.

The better your life is, the fewer preventable issues emerge, and the better you can deal with the unpreventable ones.

From our surveys and from the questions you’ve sent, your top concerns are weight loss, more energy, better mental function, easier menopause, and improved sleep. Some of these have been covered in my other books; others have not. The common thread is that these are all hormonal symptoms.

Let me expand on the word hormone so we can be sure we’re talking about the same thing.

In the medical world, hormones are chemicals that regulate the body’s systems. The most relevant ones include hormones from the thyroid, the adrenal glands, and the ovaries or testicles. When people outside medical circles talk about hormones, they usually mean estrogen-related symptoms like PMS, menopause, or fertility. When this cookbook talks about hormones, it means all of the above. There is so much research showing that food can help hormone regulation, and I’m excited to share it with you in a practical form.

There are three ways to make use of these recipes. First, this cookbook is organized around top hormonal symptoms. If you’re struggling mainly with one of these symptoms— weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, or hot flashes—follow one of the 14-Day Menu Plans to get relief (starting on page 70). Second, you can use these as recipes for the programs in other books. Some need a little modification, which I have provided. Third is to just skip around and have fun. Find a recipe that sounds good, give it a try, and repeat. They are all tasty, easy, and healthy.

Why Symptoms?

I organized this cookbook around symptoms because they are what matter most.

All too often the medical world focuses on everything but symptoms, when the whole point is to help…
