+1 on micronutrients. You hit most of them you're gonna put your hormones in much better shape, and keep yourself fuller for longer/avoid cravings

In particular:
Vitamins - A, B12, C, E, and K
Minerals - Calcium, Iodine, Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc
Omega-3s (not a micronutrient but having a balanced fatty acids profile is crucial for avoiding inflammation)

is it sufficient to just take supplements for this stuff or does it need to all come from food

Nah supplements are for addressing deficiencies. Ideally you want these all to come from food where possible, cos your body will absorb and utilise them much better.

Take a look at this for info on what foods provide those priority micronutrients - https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scri...iveNFL_Vitamins&MineralsChart_October2021.pdf
