I’m going to share what I eat to produce hormones…
The foods I’m about to share with you can only work when you understand the entire process I went through before eating these foods…
I need to emphasize that this “pro level”… advanced… need to practice the basics and fundamentals first type of stuff…
… but I wanted to show you what’s possible and what it looks like so you know what I’ve worked for this whole time…
So here are the PREREQUISITES for the hormone producing smoothie I’m about to share with you…
#1 Cut back on sugar…
The smoothie I drink is primarily fat based…
Fat digestion improves when you have an environment with no fermentable carbohydrates…
If you can’t digest then you can’t get the nutrients out of the foods you eat…
#2 Low Insulin Sensitivity
I am now aware and realize that a lot of my gut issues and autoimmune issues came about because of too much sugar…
Having leaky gut and yeast overgrowth just makes sense when I look back to how much booze and sugar I was consuming…
Before attempting to take on a meal like this, I needed to make sure that my insulin sensitivity was in check… (I’ll be covering this in more detail… it’s extremely important to pay attention to this)
#3 Low triglycerides
Just like insulin sensitivity, triglyceride levels is another checkbox I needed to cross off before taking on this smoothie…
I will be sharing more in our cholesterol e-course…
These are the 2 biggest hurdles I had to overcome…
#4 Hormone Reset
You will notice a bit of a contradiction when I say to cut out sugar, grains and dairy…
… because as you’ll see, I actually use dairy as a food source to produce hormones…
The biggest distinction is that I use raw, unpasteurized (full of enzymes and beneficial bacteria) milk…
… but also, I did a “hormone reset”…
This is needed if you have…
- Too much estrogen
- Too much testosterone
- Too much thyroid stimulating hormone
- Too much insulin
- Too much leptin
- Too much cortisol
- Too much growth hormone
I did this by doing a 7 day water fast…
I’ll be sharing more about other ways to “reset” your hormones in our e-course…
#5 Become Keto-Adapted
Cutting back on sugar forced my body to use fat as a source of fuel…
When the body can effectively digest and burn fat as a source of fuel, it is keto-adapted…
I think of it more in terms of ancient wisdom of creating an environment for proper food digestion/fermentation…
I’ll share more about this during my Facebook Live where I’m showing you this recipe…
#6 Raised Vitamin D levels
Vitamin D levels help be body absorb calcium… and magnesium…
When it comes to my Beer Diet Project research, remember…
I pay attention to water, minerals, pH, Temperature and probiotics…
I understand that the body needs minerals like calcium and magnesium to digest foods so this is one of the reasons why I make sure my Vitamin D levels are in check…
Not to mention that calcium in the form of gypsum salt was one of the ways I adjusted pH when brewing beer…
I believe the body uses calcium to regulate pH as well…
#7 Improved Digestion
Having all of these levels is the foundation…
… but it’s also important that your body has an environment that is primed for digesting foods…
Prior to getting to this point I improved my digestion by doing everything I just covered above… fasting, mineralizing my body, drinking at least one gallon of water a day, and for this smoothie, must be in ketosis for maximum nutrient absorption…
#8 Nutrient Deficiencies
Having autoimmune issues…
Leaky gut…
… meant that I had a hard time digesting food…
… which meant I had nutrient deficiencies…
When I ask people what foods they are eating for Vitamins A, D, E & K (which are essential for hormone production)…
… they mostly share foods that show those Vitamins on the label…
… but completely miss out on other nutrients that are cofactors meaning they help the body absorb Vitamin D…
These nutrients are
- Vitamin A
- Selenium
- Zinc
- Iron
- Manganese
- Magnesium
- Choline
- Folate

Foods For Hormone Production
Here’s the recipe I use to produce hormones…
(Primarily sex hormones like testosterone, DHEA, progesterone, etc.)
This is a slight adaption from the recipe found in the book The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss in the Sex Hormones chapter…
- 12 oz Whole Raw, Unpasteurized Milk
- 4 tbsp Raw Sprouted Almond Butter
- 2 Raw Pasture Raised Egg Yolks (no whites)
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Remember… this is advanced…
Not where you start…
