Oestrogen Foods



Oestrogen isn’t just as a reproductive hormone. It plays a critical role and is responsible for supporting

  • Bone strength

  • Heart health

  • Mood


There are a range of ways to increase Oestrogen levels, the first we often think of is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — but you can boost your oestrogen levels by eating certain foods


All plants contain photochemicals which are natural compounds acting as antioxidants. One group of these compounds are phytoestrogens, which mimic the body’s natural oestrogen. When consumed, your body absorbs them during digestion and recognizes them as oestrogen, topping up your body’s natural levels. 


Pytoestrogens groups include

  • Coumestan

  • Isoflavones

  • Lignans

  • Stilbene


Foods containing high levels of these specific phytoestrogens include:

  • Fruits, including apples, berries, grapes, peaches, pears, plums

  • Grains, such as barley, oats, wheat germ

  • Liquids derived from plants, specifically, coffee, olive oil, green tea, tea, coconut oil, coconut water



  • Nuts and Seeds, including almonds, flaxseeds, peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds

  • Soy and soy products, such as soybeans, tofu, miso soup, miso paste 

  • Vegetables, particularly broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, onions, spinach, sprouts, kale
