Question 1

Can I eat eggs if I have uterine fibroids?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

Yes. Current evidence does not support cutting eggs from your diet if you have uterine fibroids. Eggs provide high-quality protein, choline, vitamin B12, selenium, and some vitamin D — a nutrient often low in women with fibroids.

Question 2

Do I need to cut dairy if I have fibroids? What about soy?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

No. Current evidence does not support cutting all dairy if you have fibroids — moderate intake may even be associated with lower risk. Soy, rich in isoflavones, modulates rather than stimulates estrogen receptors.

Question 3

What are the top 3 protein sources for fat loss, muscle and gut health?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

Legumes, omega-3-rich fatty fish, and plain Greek yogurt. Together they support muscle, feed the gut microbiome, calm inflammation, and protect cardiovascular health — more than chicken breast or protein shakes alone.

Question 4

Going vegetarian or vegan: how do I get enough protein without deficiencies?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

Yes, a well-planned plant-based diet meets protein needs at every life stage. Anchor your plate in whole legumes, tofu, tempeh, whole grains, nuts and seeds — not ultra-processed meat substitutes — and pair iron-rich plants with vitamin C.

Question 5

Should I take an omega-3 supplement, or get it from food?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

For most healthy people, food beats a supplement: two servings of fatty fish a week (sardines, mackerel, salmon) covers the EPA and DHA your body actually uses. Supplements make sense if you eat no fish, are vegan, are pregnant, or have a clinical reason.

Question 6

Is Whey Protein Good for You? Should You Take It?

Juliana Dosy · Accepted Answer

Protein powders are among the best-selling supplements in the world and among the most misunderstood. For a healthy person, a quality whey can be a useful tool to top up your intake when meals alone don't get you to your target. It never replaces a balanced plate — it fills a gap.
