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.....

 

Cheers

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.

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!

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.

 

Thanks

Andrea

Yep, thanks, that's what I needed to know. This whole thing is

really confusing! 8 )

 

Cheers!
