PMS is not an inevitable part of womanhood but rather a signal that your hormone balance is off. Understanding the relationship between estrogen dominance and progesterone insufficiency gives us the power to address these symptoms and support our bodies for smoother menstrual cycles.
• PMS specifically refers to symptoms occurring 7-10 days before your period starts, not during your period
• The root cause is typically an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone in the second half of your cycle
• Ovulation quality directly impacts progesterone production - if you're not ovulating, you won't produce adequate progesterone
• Liver health significantly affects estrogen processing and elimination
• Alcohol and caffeine consumption can burden the liver and worsen PMS symptoms
• Constipation can cause estrogen to be reabsorbed rather than eliminated
• Stress, histamine responses, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals in everyday products can disrupt hormone balance
• Regular sauna sessions help eliminate estrogen through sweat
• Cruciferous vegetables support liver detoxification pathways
• Try avoiding alcohol and reducing caffeine in the second half of your cycle
• Consider using apps like Yuka or ThinkDirty to identify hormone-disrupting chemicals in your products
