Let's Talk About PMS & Hormonal Balance
Your Period Shouldn’t Feel Like a Battle
If you’re here, chances are you’re looking for ways to feel better during your cycle. You might be dealing with cramps, mood swings, bloating, or just feeling off every month. You’re not alone—many of us experience this. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in this journey.
Empower Yourself by Understanding Your Hormones.
Understanding what’s happening inside your body is the first step to feeling balanced, healthy, and happy all month. This knowledge puts you in the driver’s seat of your health journey and brings a sense of relief and empowerment.
What’s Causing PMS & Period Pain?
The Role of Hormones in Your Cycle
PMS happens because of hormonal fluctuations—specifically, the rise and fall of progesterone and estrogen. You must balance these two hormones to feel your best. When they’re out of sync, you might experience:
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
Bloating and water retention
Trouble sleeping or feeling exhausted
Cramping, headaches, or heavy periods
Why You Feel Different Before Your Period
Your hormones don’t just control your period—they influence everything from metabolism to emotional well-being. So, if you feel like a different person before your period, your hormones might be trying to tell you something.
Signs Your Hormones Might Be Imbalanced
Is It a Normal Cycle or a Hormone Imbalance?
Ever wonder why some months feel worse than others? Here are some common signs of hormonal imbalance:
Short cycles (less than 26 days)
Spotting before your period
Anxiety, mood swings, or trouble sleeping
Estrogen Dominance (Too Much Estrogen)
Heavy or long periods
Breast tenderness and bloating
Weight gain, headaches, or irritability
Why These Imbalances Matter
When progesterone is too low or estrogen is too high, your period (and mood) can feel out of control. But the good news? You can naturally support your hormones to feel better every day.
Feel Your Best with Simple, Natural Changes
Everyday Habits to Support Your Hormones
The key to hormonal balance is making small, everyday choices that support your body. This sense of control over your health can be empowering and reassuring.
Nourish Your Hormones with the Right Foods
Eat magnesium-rich foods (dark chocolate, nuts, leafy greens) for calm, balanced hormones.
Add fiber and probiotics (flaxseeds, fermented foods) to help detox excess estrogen.
Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, salmon) support progesterone production.
Reduce processed foods, refined sugar, and caffeine to prevent inflammation.
Reduce Stress & Get Quality Sleep
Chronic stress drains progesterone—try deep breathing, meditation, or gentle walks.
Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night and avoid screens before bed.
A warm bath or herbal tea before bed can help relax your body and mind.
Gentle Movement = Happy Hormones
Gentle exercise (Yoga, Pilates, Walking) can help balance hormones.
Avoid over-exercising—too much intense exercise can make PMS symptoms worse.
Spending time outside can boost mood and help regulate hormones.
Limit Toxins & Support Your Liver
Stay hydrated to flush out excess hormones.
Choose natural skincare and avoid plastics with BPA (which mimic estrogen).
Support liver detox with cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale, cabbage).
When to Get Extra Support
Know When to See a Doctor
If you’ve made lifestyle changes but are still struggling with severe PMS, painful periods, or extreme mood swings, it might be time to check in with a doctor.
Hormone imbalances are not just in your head—they have real effects on your body and well-being, and you deserve to feel good every day—not just when your period is over.
