Why this works — Mila's notes
EGGS AND CHOLINE
Three eggs provide ~250 mg of choline, crucial for estrogen metabolism and cognitive function. Raw or hard-boiled yolks optimize its absorption; the protein (18 g) stabilizes blood sugar…
RICOTTA AND CASEIN PROTEIN
Ricotta provides slow-digesting casein and leucine, which activates mTOR while preserving muscle — essential after 30. Fermented dairy supports your microbiome and cortisol metabolism.
SESAME SEEDS AND BIOAVAILABLE MINERALS
Rich in copper, manganese, and lignans, sesame seeds support bone health, collagen, and hormonal balance. The fats enhance vitamin absorption and fiber promotes digestion.
