Perimenopause: Tofu Scramble with Turmeric and Veggies
Benefits: Tofu (firm): Excellent source of plant-based protein and phytoestrogens (isoflavones), which may help balance fluctuating estrogen levels and reduce hot flashes and mood swings during perimenopause. Also rich in calcium and iron. Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that may help reduce joint pain, brain fog, and cycle-related discomfort. Bell pepper: High in vitamin C, which supports adrenal health, iron absorption, and collagen production (helpful as estrogen declines). Kale: Nutrient-dense leafy green with calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K—all important for bone health, hormonal balance, and detoxification. Olive oil: Healthy monounsaturated fat that supports brain health, cardiovascular function, and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins—key during hormonal shifts. Salt & pepper: Enhances flavor; black pepper may also increase absorption of curcumin in turmeric.
