If one or more symptoms of PMS, such as fluid retention, anxiety, bloating and weight gain, food cravings, depression, breast swelling and tenderness and mood changes, impact you each month, then your hormones and your cycle are telling you something. More care, attention, connection and awareness are needed rather than just writing it off as being completely out of your control.

And what about period pain?! Just like PMS, it is NOT normal and it is so important that we understand this for ourselves as well as share this with younger women who may be just entering puberty. Not to make them feel 'abnormal' by any means if they do experience period pain, but to simply bring awareness to the fact that it is not something to put up with and endure because that's what we do as women. No, no and no.

Studies in Australia suggest that the prevalence of period pain in adolescent girls ranges from 80% - 93% (Hillen TI, et al, 1999). Surely a problem we want to get to the bottom of 🤔🧐

The next webinar is coming up next weekend and covers both PMS and Period Pain. We will look at:

🤍 What exactly is PMS & what causes it?
🤍What are the causes of period pain?
🤍How to know when & what support is needed?
🤍How knowing your cycle (being cycle wise) can support you!

**RECORDING AVAILABLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO ALL WHO REGISTER**

90% of women experience at least one symptom most months and about 50% of women get several symptoms each month - these symptoms can include fluid retention, anxiety, bloating and weight gain, increased appetite, depression, breast swelling and tenderness and mood changes.

This is pretty huge! Interestingly though, most women I see and speak to think that this is just the way it is. That it’s just bad luck if they experience these symptoms and they just have to put up with it and find ways to manage it. The phrase ‘it’s that time of the month’ is so often used by women and men in a derogatory way, which is not cool. Hormones get such a bad wrap yet as I say often, we are the ones creating their environment!

We can absolutely do better on the PMS front…but it does not come down to quick fixes unfortunately. PMS is generally indicating a very specific hormone imbalance between oestrogen and progesterone, which then cascades to affect other body systems like the brain and nervous system which helps to regulate mood and emotion.

And when treating hormones, lifestyle is key - along with the quality of your relationship with yourself and your body. AND with your cycle! 🩸🥚
