Hormones - PMS

Did you know that there are over 100 symptoms correlated to PMS? No wonder that it is such a common phenomenon that the majority of friends and family you know experience at least one or a few symptoms around the monthly cycle. However, what may be considered “common” isn’t necessary deemed “normal”. Women often seek help when their symptoms really start to affect their ability to function and their overall quality of life.

PMS isn’t solely a hormonal imbalance problem. There are many underlying factors causing PMS such as:
• Adrenal dysfunction and cortisol imbalance
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Nutrient deficiencies such as B vitamins and magnesium
• Thyroid concerns
• Liver stress and compromised detoxification

A Naturopathic doctor can recommend a myriad of natural support to help manage symptoms. Additionally, addressing those underlying factors can help women take better control of their symptoms and view “that time of the month” with more awareness, compassion and honoring their bodies in a more positive light.
