Frequently Asked Questions

Does Quinoa, cooked affect hormones?
Yes โ€” Quinoa, cooked is rich in magnesium (15% DV), which Reduces SHBG โ†’ more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production.
Does Quinoa, cooked contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains โ€” bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin โ€” reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates โ€” the net effect is still positive.
