Dear ,

 

 

Do you notice that anxiety, irritability, bloating, headaches, or fatigue reliably worsen before your period?

 

You’re not imagining it—and it’s not something you’re supposed to “just live with.”

 

PMS is often a sign of underlying hormonal imbalance, most commonly involving estrogen, progesterone, stress hormones, blood sugar regulation, and detoxification pathways. While these symptoms are common, they are not benign—and they are not random.

 

 

In our latest blog, we break down:

• Why PMS develops in the first place

• How estrogen–progesterone imbalance, stress, and ovulation suppression contribute

• Why hormonal birth control often masks symptoms instead of resolving them

• What a root-cause, functional medicine approach actually focuses on

•  

 

If your cycle feels unpredictable, disruptive, or increasingly difficult to tolerate, this article offers clarity—and a more empowering framework for understanding what your body is communicating.
