You were told it’s normal to:
• feel wiped out before your period
• cry over tiny things
• get bloated overnight
• endure cramps that make you cancel plans
• swing between no appetite and uncontrollable cravings
But here’s the truth: “common” doesn’t equal healthy.
These are signs your hormones aren’t communicating properly, often because cortisol, blood sugar, estrogen, and progesterone are OUT OF RHYTHM.
Estrogen spikes without enough progesterone → mood swings, irritability, headaches, breast tenderness
High cortisol → fatigue, inflammation, water retention, insomnia
Blood sugar crashes → cravings, brain fog, anxiety, binge-restrict cycles
Gut and liver overload → hormone metabolites build up, worsening PMS and digestive issues
So just know that your body isn’t dramatic.
It’s responding to stress, energy imbalance, and nervous system signals. You don’t need to “cope better.” You need your health systems to communicate better.
Start noticing patterns your body is telling you:
• Track energy, mood, and digestion alongside your cycle for two weeks
• Note when cravings, fatigue, or irritability align with hormone or blood sugar shifts
• Small tweaks to stress, sleep, and meal timing ripple through hormone communication
Save this as a reminder:
✨ PMS isn’t your personality
✨ Mood swings aren’t weakness
✨ Fatigue isn’t a flaw
✨ Cravings aren’t lack of discipline
Understanding why your body behaves this way is the first step to restoring rhythm, balance, and energy, not just masking symptoms.
