This Raw Carrot Salad Supports Digestion, Detox & Hormones - Naturally

It sounds too simple to be true, but this crunchy little habit has roots in fascinating nutritional science—and it’s been quietly championed for decades as a natural way to support digestion, detox, and hormone health.

This simple raw carrot salad isn’t just crunchy and refreshing—it’s a natural way to support your hormones and digestion. Raw carrot fiber is special in how it helps sweep out excess estrogen and toxins from the gut, a concept popularized by biologist Dr. Ray Peat. Paired with apple cider vinegar for digestion, a bit of coconut or olive oil to support bile flow, and a pinch of salt to nourish your adrenals, this little salad does more than you'd expect. It's a humble, everyday recipe with surprisingly powerful benefits.

Ingredients:

• 2–3 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (raw, unfiltered is best)
• 1–2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
• Pinch of sea salt
•  1 TBL Black sesame seeds 
  

Instructions:

    1.    Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or shred into thin strips (not grated—grating can break down the fibers too much).
    2.    In a small bowl, mix the vinegar, oil, and salt to make a light dressing.
    3.    Toss the carrot in the dressing until fully coated.
    4.    Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly and allow the vinegar to activate enzymes.
    5.    Eat once daily, ideally between meals or first thing in the morning.

It’s amazing how something as simple as a raw carrot can support your body in such profound ways!
