Peanut Pork "Noodles" with Spaghetti Squash

Why this recipe

Zinc and B12 from pork support healthy ovulatory function, egg quality, and the antioxidant defenses ovarian tissue relies on, while ginger and garlic add anti-inflammatory support relevant to fertility, endometriosis, and pregnancy-related nausea. Cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables support healthy estrogen metabolism, and the fiber from cabbage, carrots, and squash helps slow the blood sugar impact of the sauce's natural sugars, making this bowl friendly for PCOS, insulin resistance, and perimenopause. Spaghetti squash is naturally lower in carbohydrates than traditional noodles, and the fiber and protein throughout the bowl help slow the overall blood sugar response. The calorie and fat density from pork and peanut sauce supports the energy availability needed for hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. Zinc is also a required cofactor for converting inactive T4 into active T3 thyroid hormone. During pregnancy, iron and B12 from pork support increased blood volume; postpartum, iron helps replenish stores depleted from delivery and zinc supports tissue repair and immune recovery.
