What is the Hormone Reset?
The Hormone Reset is module 3 in the Healthy Woman Healthy Runner programme the aim of the Hormone Reset is to help balance key female hormones and support management of hormonal symptoms including heavy or erratic periods, irregular temperature control/hot flushes, mind/mood symptoms, body composition changes and poor quality of sleep.
The 4 pillars of hormonal balance being blood sugar balance, optimal digestion and liver health and management of adrenal stress hormones. Everything we do in the programme is built around supporting these pillars of hormonal health.

Why is the 14-day Hormone Reset Food Plan an important part of the Healthy Woman Healthy Runner Method and Programme?
The midlife female runners we are supporting, are at various stages of the menopause transition – if peri menopausal, their female sex hormones are in a state of flux leading to disruptive symptoms like the ones we mentioned earlier OR if they are post-menopause their hormone production is flatlining which leads to similar symptoms except for periods which will have stopped. Those symptoms get in the way of running – our performance and our enjoyment as well as the rest of our daily lives being disrupted.
(05:30)
The food plan concept includes a simple approach … we ADD IN foods which will support your digestion and detoxification pathways and MINIMISE or eliminate foods and drinks which may be burdening your digestion and detoxification pathways.
We give you a Green List of Foods and Drinks to ADD to your food plan – you may already be having some of these foods and we also give you a RED list of foods and drinks to either minimise or eliminate temporarily for the 14 days of the food plan. This gives your body an opportunity to rest, repair and reset. Then we’ll advise you on what foods to reintroduce after the cleanse period.
(07:04)
The 4 phases of the Hormone Reset
We follow the food plan in 4 “phases” to help you and your body adjust to the nutritional changes and to help you get the full benefit of following our food plan.
Over 3 weeks, we’ll be guiding you through:
· Phase 1 – Preparation Week – Get Ready – Mindset and Practicalities
· Phase 2 – Days 1-6 – Initial Cleanse – Removing Processed and Refined Foods
· Phase 3 – Days 7-9 – Deeper Cleanse - Lighten the load on your digestion and liver and promote detoxification pathways – food choices are lighter and ideally plant based but this is an option
· Phase 4 – Days 10-14 – Awareness - Preparing for selective reintroduction of eliminated foods
(09:08)
We talk about options to make homemade food or buy healthy prepared food from your local supplier.

We discuss some of the potential mindset barriers to overcome when approaching the Hormone Reset.
Just to add a little context, The 14-day food plan may take you a little out of your comfort zone, however, remember it’s based on healthy real food and healthy real food is not harmful to you.
If there is any part of the hormone reset that is just “TOO BIG OR TOO HARD” for you, then we’ll help you to adapt the food plan to your requirements.

One Key Action Point to Take Away from today’s discussion:
Reflect on what you are eating and drinking on a regular basis and notice what would foods and drinks are “processed” and either reduce how often you consume them or swap them with a non-processed choice. By doing that you’ll be reducing the number of additives and preservatives in your food and that will support your liver and digestive function.
