Hello, hello! How are your hormones today? Balanced, I hope. If not - this will do ya good. Actually it will do you good even if you possess the most perfectly balanced hormones in the universe. As one wise reader informed: "your hormones can never be too balanced." Right!? Right. This post is part of a big ole cyber potluck type deal (apparently called a blog share) that a bunch of us awesome healthy food bloggers are participating in and the theme is - you guessed it - "hormone-balancing foods". Who else is in on this? Lemme tell ya. Their names and websites are listed below.
