Warm Lentil, Beetroot & Goat’s Cheese Salad with Pumpkin Seeds

Why This Supports Menopause & Hormones

• Lentils provide fibre that supports healthy oestrogen clearance via the gut. Efficient elimination prevents recirculation of metabolised oestrogen.
• Beetroot enhances nitric oxide production, supporting vascular health — increasingly important as oestrogen’s protective vascular effects decline.
• Goat’s cheese provides protein and calcium for bone integrity.
• Pumpkin seeds deliver zinc and magnesium — both crucial for hormone signalling and mood regulation.
• This dish supports hormone metabolism, cardiovascular health and bone strength.
