1. As you certainly know, your estrogen levels are declining. You can stimulate your estrogen levels by phytoestrogens- these occur naturally in some plants and are structurally similar to estrogen.  Good sources are soy and soy products, flax seed, broccoli, nuts and oil seed.

2. Have enough minerals in your nutrition. Hormone producing enzymes work better if you get enough fresh fruits and vegetables, milk and milk products and whole grain products.
3. Have a look at your vitamin intake- especially vitamin C. Fresh fruits (oranges, lemons, etc.) and vegetables help getting your vitamin C consumption up. Just make sure you spread the vitamin intake over the day- if your body is getting too much vitamin C it will be excreted fast.
