Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used to alleviate menopause symptoms but carries significant risks. Studies like the Women’s Health Initiative (2002) show that combined HRT increases the risk of breast cancer by 26%, heart disease by 29% and stroke by 41%. It also raises the risk of blood clots and possibly dementia, especially with prolonged use.
Plant-Based Lifestyle as a Safer Alternative 🍅 🍎 ❤️
A whole-food, plant-based diet offers a natural way to manage menopause symptoms without the risks associated with HRT. Key benefits include:
- Reduced Cancer Risk:Â Â Plant-based diets lower cancer risk by 15%, thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties.
- Heart Health: Â Doctors like Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn have shown plant-based diets can reverse heart disease, reducing risks that HRT increases.
- Natural Hormone Balance: Â Foods like flaxseeds and soy contain phytoestrogens, which naturally mimic estrogen without the dangers of synthetic hormones.
- Weight Management: Â Dr. Neal Barnard recommends plant-based diets to reduce belly fat and improve hormone regulation.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Â Plant-based foods lower inflammation, reducing chronic disease risk and easing symptoms like joint pain.

I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
