Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can anyone shed any light on this? We tend to avoid as much in the way of soya products partly because my children are allergic to it, but being peri-menopausal, I'm worried about the soy affecting me. Does the fermentation process involved with the miso make this an ok option? I'd love to eat it every day for breakfast, with bean thread noodles and kombu.....

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Andrea as a clinical practitioner I've read that breakfast should be the one meal that protein should be the predominant factor. Our bodies need high quality protein and i've found and read the egg is a perfect food for this need. I encourage my clients to take one egg yolk to 3 egg whites with spinache sprinkled on top along with some seasoning and eat that for breakfast. I don't encourage the use of most breads but Ezekial bread can be eaten with this. There are no issues of soy involved in this therefore no issues of phytoestrogens. Hope this can be of use to you.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Andrea, All soy products are best if fermented, organic and non-GMO. Miso is great! How much to use is the issue. It really depends on where you are in your transition and what, if any, estrogen dominant symptoms you're experiencing as a woman in perimenopause. I usually suggest women with any estrogen dominant symptoms just avoid soy until closer to menopause, although some will disagree with this. As you get closer to actual menopause (a full 12 months without a cycle) you can increase your use of miso and other soy products (provided they meet the important fermented, organic, non-GMO criteria). Hope this helps! Michelle http://www.HolisticMenopause.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can anyone shed any light on this?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 OK, how about the egg in the miso? 8 ) I'm try to eat healthier all round, and since I also have a borderline hypothyroid, I thought I'd also slip the kombu into the miso.
