Hot Chocolate with Almond Milk
This hot chocolate is made with dark cocoa powder and almond milk, both of which are packed with magnesium. Research indicates that there is a strong link between magnesium deficiency and insulin resistance associated with hirsutism. Magnesium is required for proper glucose utilization and insulin signaling, which are impaired in people with insulin resistance.

Obesity can cause hirsutism because excess body fat promotes hyperandrogenism (excessive production of male hormones) in women. This fat-burning hot chocolate can help you control your weight because it contains dark cocoa powder, which helps suppress appetite, and no added sugar. Also the cayenne pepper featured in this hot chocolate helps promote weight loss due to its high concentration of capsaicin. Capsaicin is a phytochemical that is well-known for its ability to increase the rate at which the body burns energy, making it an excellent weight-loss aid. See the Recipe
Catechin-Rich Iced Green Tea
Research suggests that certain catechins found in green tea help modulate the production and actions of androgens and other hormones. Consequently, it has been hypothesized green tea could be useful for the treatment of hormone-related hirsutism. This anti-hirsutism recipe calls for loose tea leaves and a long brewing time, both of which improve the release of catechins from green tea leaves.
