[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

Hi I’m Robin Nielsen – welcome to the PCOS Kitchen.

This week we’re making some yummy PCOS-friendly Eggs Benedict because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And to keep our hormones balanced, we need to have a healthy protein, fat and carbohydrate at every meal.

Eggs are a terrific food. And poaching the eggs is a great way to cook them because the yolk remains intact, not allowing oxidation to occur.

Eggs (the yolks in particular) contain the highest amount of lecithin or phosphatidylcholine, of any food. Lecithin helps us to metabolize our fats, helps to protect against fatty liver disease and plays an important role in brain formation, sleep, memory and learning. It might also help with weight loss as it breaks down fat into smaller molecules.

The egg yolk is full of other nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, K, carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, thiamin, folate, B6, B12 and many more. The egg white is mostly protein with very few nutrients.

What makes eggs benedict so tricky is the sauce. But mine is easy and delicious, and you’ll be surprised at what I put the eggs on!

Robin’s Eggs Benedict

Ingredients:

2 – 3 cage free, organic eggs
2 tbls Raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Mayonnaise (Hain or Avocado Oil)
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
Handful of raw spinach
Smoked salmon or canadian bacon (1 piece)
Capers

Directions:
Fill a wide pan with about 4 inches of water. Add apple cider vinegar and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat and add the eggs one at at time (if the water is simmering or boiling when you add the eggs, the whites will break into many pieces – so make sure the water isn’t boiling). Make sure the eggs are covered with water – you can take a spoon and spoon the hot water over the yolks if they are not completely covered.

While the eggs are cooking make the Hollandaise sauce. In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dijon mustard. Using a small whisk, blend it up into a rich sauce. Taste it to see if you like it. Adjust as needed so you love it. Then fill a shallow bowl with a handful of spinach. On top of that put a warmed piece of Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. When the eggs are done how you like them (about 4 minutes for runny – more like 6 minutes for hard yolks), lift them out gently with a slotted spoon or spatula and place them on your salmon or bacon. Drizzle some of your Hollandaise sauce and top with a few capers.

Your whole day will be happy when you begin it with this breakfast! And you may even want it for dinner, which is just fine. Whatever meal you make it for, it will nourish you.

Your to-do this week? Make Eggs Benedict, the hormone-balancing way.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays.

Natural Food Sources of Digestive Enzymes:

Pineapple (bromelain) – The bromelain in most digestive enzyme supplements is extracted from pineapple stems, since they have the highest concentration of the nutrient. The core and flesh of pineapple fruit contains good amounts of bromelain as well. Bromelain is a group of powerful proteolytic digestive enzymes and provides several other health benefits, most of which are still under investigation. Studies have revealed that bromelain is also effective in fighting cancer growth. It blocks growth of a broad range of tumor cells in several types of cancer including breast, lung, colon, ovarian, and melanoma. Pineapple is also a great source of several other nutrients including manganese, vitamin C, and potassium.

Green Papaya (papain) – Like the bromelain in pineapple, papain is a group of proteolytic digestive enzymes. Papain, often extracted from papaya, is another major ingredient in digestive enzyme supplements. Papain is also added to most enzyme supplements that are formulated specifically for pain relief (arthritis, sports injuries, etc.). Papain may also have anti-inflammatory properties. Papaya is an excellent source of several other nutrients including potassium, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
