Many of us grew up with the idea that breakfast should include fruit, sweetened yogurts, grains and cereals. We may as well have called it “morning dessert.”
A quality breakfast is instrumental in balancing hormones, but it’s important to eat things that truly nourish and fuel you. That’s why I love these high-protein breakfast patties, which are perfect for meal prep and easy reheating on busy days.
I personally recommend avoiding a high carb, high sugar breakfast in favor of the PFF breakfast (protein, fat, fiber.) By loading up on protein, fat, and fiber, we guarantee no blood sugar dips, and sustain our blood sugar levels so we don’t exhaust our adrenals. Proteins are also full of amino acids, which are the building blocks on our hormones. Plus, eating this way helps us break our sugar habit.
These breakfast sausage patties are full of fresh and dried herbs with a subtle maple sweetness, though you can opt to leave out the maple syrup if you’d like. Best of all, they’re baked in the oven for easy cleanup.
Enjoy these patties with a side of avocado and your favorite, fiber-rich veggies for a sustaining and delicious breakfast.

“The body has an amazing ability to heal. We just need to give it the right resources.”
In Overcoming Estrogen Dominance, my goal is to empower and give you the tools to take control of your hormones and health.
More than 70% of women experience estrogen dominance. The symptoms range from lumpy and fibrocystic breasts to thyroid nodules, hot flashes, fibroids, uterine polyps, painful, heavy or irregular periods to infertility and miscarriages, from mood swings to insomnia, weight gain to fatigue.
So many women have experienced the pain and frustration that comes when, sitting in their doctor’s exam room, they feel their symptoms and complaints are dismissed or minimized. They feel unheard, helpless, with no control over their bodies or the underlying issues that are causing their debilitating symptoms. This is particularly true for women who are experiencing the symptoms of hormone imbalance. Even when doctors do offer treatment, it’s typically in the form of prescription medication or invasive surgical procedures.
In Overcoming Estrogen Dominance, I hope to show that those extreme interventions are often unnecessary, and to give women a roadmap to ease and erase their symptoms using food, herbs, supplements and natural protocols to re-balance hormones.
My goal is to help reverse the impact of estrogen dominance naturally, helping you lead a symptom-free life, without fear.

Hi Margarete,
Sure, you can substitute the sausage. Thank you for the lovely words.
Healthy regards,

Thank you, Magdalena, for sharing your wisdom, the wonderful recipes, and so many practical tips.
Since I went through an intense time with Graves seven years ago, and got over it well, I have loved the Farmer’s Wife type of breakfast,
feeling stronger and more satisfied with it.
Question regarding the mouth-watering patties in this newsletter:
Pork tends to give me headaches. I guess it is ok to substitute with
chicken or turkey? Thank you!
