Which of us wouldn’t want our reproductive system to work like clockwork?
Along with perfect hormonal balance, radiant skin is also essential.
Of course, I wouldn’t say no to that. In fact, I know that eating certain foods will help me on the path toward this state of well-being.
Whether we like it or not, hormones control our mood, digestion, energy levels, libido, metabolism, and even how our skin looks.
If we don’t provide our bodies with the right nutrients, the essential building blocks they need, our bodies won’t be able to produce hormones in the right amounts or maintain a proper hormonal balance — simply because they have nothing to work with.
The human body needs regular and balanced intake of all three main categories of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and especially fats.
Fat is one of the most important elements for maintaining hormonal balance.
For many years, we were told that reducing fat intake is good and that cholesterol and saturated fats are bad. This is a lie.
The right fats are the starting material our bodies need to create and maintain healthy hormonal balance.
Here’s why: certain fatty acids and cholesterol are necessary for hormone production. If our diet lacks sufficient amounts of these, we will inevitably face hormonal problems — because the body has nothing to create the required hormones from.
Again, we come to the conclusion that our bodies need certain fats to repair cells and stabilize hormones. This is especially important for the female reproductive system.

Healthy Fats for Hormone Production
Coconut oil (and generally all coconut-based products). It contains lauric acid, which is incredibly beneficial for the skin and very effective in hormone production.
In addition, it kills disease-causing bacteria and viruses in your body, provides extra energy, is easily absorbed, and speeds up metabolism.
Avocado is rich in healthy fats that help our bodies absorb and utilize other nutrients. It also contains plenty of fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, B vitamins, and folic acid. All these help our bodies normalize hormonal balance.
Butter — it is a rich source of water-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2. These nutrients are the main “building blocks” for our body’s hormone production.
Butter also contains high amounts of short- and medium-chain fatty acids that support immune function, boost metabolism, and have antimicrobial properties.
Egg yolk is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, E, B2, B4, B6, B9, iron, calcium, iodine, phosphorus, and potassium, making egg yolks incredibly beneficial for the reproductive system, hormonal balance, and skin health.
Vitamin B4 and iodine are especially important as they are key elements in thyroid hormone production.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds, olives and olive oil, hemp and flaxseed oil — all of these provide immense benefits.
Vegetables Rich in Antioxidants
Choose colorful, dark green vegetables you enjoy: broccoli, spinach, leafy greens, cucumbers, and so on.
