Grapefruit Salmon Salad

  • This refreshing salad is perfect to support the follicular flow. It is full of essential nutrients that support hormone balance, energy, and ovulation. Salmon and avocado are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and support estrogen metabolism. The grapefruit is high in vitamin C and antioxidants to help support the liver in estrogen metabolism, not to mention that it is very hydrating. The arugula is a cruciferous vegetable that contains sulforaphane, a compound known to aid in liver detoxification. Pumpkin seeds are also high in zinc and magnesium, which support follicular development.
