Would you believe me if I told you this 4-ingredient carrot salad was food as medicine for your gut health and hormones?

It’s really that simple: just grate and combine carrots, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and a healthy oil of your choice (we suggest coconut or olive oil) ? 

?Carrots - High in fiber, carrots support digestion and gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria. They also aid in hormone balance by binding to and eliminating excess estrogen, reducing symptoms like PMS and bloating.
? Apple Cider Vinegar - Balances the gut microbiome and aids digestion by increasing stomach acid production.
? Healthy Oils - Rich in healthy fats, these oils support hormone production and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Coconut oil offers quick energy through MCTs, while olive oil provides anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
