Notes

Benefits for PCOS: • Sunflower seed butter is rich in magnesium, vitamin E, and selenium, which support hormone regulation, PMS relief, and insulin sensitivity. • Tahini (made from sesame seeds) contains lignans that help modulate estrogen levels and support detox pathways through the liver. • Plant-based protein powder boosts protein intake, which is essential for blood sugar balance, metabolic support, and appetite regulation. • Ground sesame and sunflower seeds enhance zinc, magnesium, and selenium content—key minerals for improving ovulation and reducing androgens. • Chia seeds provide fiber and omega-3s (ALA), which lower inflammation and support mood and cycle regularity. • Maple syrup (optional) is a low-fructose sweetener that can be used in moderation; its impact on blood sugar is blunted by fiber, fat, and protein. • Salt adds trace minerals and helps support adrenal health, especially when stress is high.
