To celebrate International Women's Day, we launched a Happy Place Edit Box which featured amazing products from Happy Place Market brands that are either founded by or led by women.

One of those women, Hannah Macey, is the founder of Nature's Mineral, a Magnesium company on a mission to spread the remarkable benefits of Magnesium to the world. We were lucky enough to have the handmade(!!) Magnesium Sleep Roller in the box, check it out here. 

As well as Nature's Mineral, Hannah is also a Nutritional Therapist, and she has very kindly shared some words of wisdom around women's health.

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

Healthy fats are foundational because female hormones are made from fats. Omega-3s help reduce inflammation and support hormone signalling and mood regulation.

Food sources include oily fish (salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It supports stress hormone regulation (cortisol), improves sleep quality, boosts progesterone, and aids oestrogen detoxification.

Food sources include pumpkin seeds, spinach, almonds & dark chocolate.

B VITAMINS

Vitamin B6 plays a direct role in balancing oestrogen and progesterone and supports liver detox pathways that metabolise hormones. B-vitamin status (including B12 and folate) is essential for methylation, which helps the body break down and eliminate excess hormones.

Food sources include eggs, legumes, whole grains, and animal proteins.

FIBRE

Dietary fibre binds to excess oestrogen in the digestive tract and supports its removal. This is key for menstrual and reproductive hormone balance.

Foods like lentils, avocados, and raspberries also promote gut health.

PHYTOESTROGEN-RICH FOODS

These plant compounds gently mimic oestrogen and have a regulating effect, so can be helpful for both high or low Oestrogen levels. Sources include soy foods- tofu, tempeh, edamame, miso. Pumpkin, sunflower and flax seeds, lentils, chickpeas, peas, black beans and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kale.

Think simple and achievable: sprinkle seeds and olive oil onto meals, enjoy dark chocolate as a snack, and check your plate — have you included some of these nutrients? Small daily changes truly add up and can positively impact your hormones.
