A fennel carpaccio recipe inspired by Alix d'Antras, a naturopath specialising in women's health and conditions of the menstrual cycle, PCOS, and endometriosis. Why do we love fennel? "During the premenstrual phase, when hormonal balance can be disrupted by an excess of oestrogens, including foods rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins A, B, and C is essential. Rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamins C and B, and beta-carotene, fennel is a fibre-packed food that is particularly well-suited to the premenstrual phase, as it contributes to healthy digestion and good liver function."
