It effortlessly combines recipes that help support female hormonal health, prefaced by bite-sized chunks of the science and concepts that underpin them. With easy to create personal plans, I would heartily recommend this to any woman who wants to improve her wellbeing through a simple yet creative approach to food as medicine.' - Dr Ayan Panja 'The Balance Plan is a pertinent piece of health literature. In modern medicine, we've treated hormone problems as a black or white issue. Disease or healthy. In reality, hormones are our body's way of sending intricate messages of our environment and helping us to react and be as responsive to what is happening around us. Hormones cycles are happening everyday and your diet, lifestyle, and other habits all influence this. Thank you Angelique for this enlightening journey through our body!' - Dr. Steven Lin 'The Balance Plan is a beautiful approach to improving hormonal health, grounded in the perfect synergy of personal journey, clinical experience and excellent health advice. The understanding that your diet, environment and lifestyle powerfully affects your hormonal balance and reproductive health will empower you with the knowledge and wisdom you need on your own journey to better health and wellness.' - Benjamin I.

Angelique Panagos is a writer, total foodie and health crusader with an immense passion for the healing power of food. Her journey into nutrition and hormonal health has been one of self-sabotage, healing and discovery. In her early 20s, at her heaviest weight, Angelique was determined to take radical control of her body - obsessive exercise and curbed eating led to anorexia and bulimia. Finally, at age 27, she began taking small, consistent steps to changing her beliefs around food, and to educate herself about nutrition and hormonal balance. Angelique learned not only how stress and poor nutrition wreak havoc on our hormones, but also how vital gut health and proper digestion are to our overall wellbeing. Now a nutrional therapist with her own successful West End practice, Angelique features in ITV's Sugar Free Farm and has contributed to I Quit Sugar with Sarah Wilson and publications such as Women's Health, InStyle and Rude Health.
