Ladies, want to understand your mind a little better? ⤵️
Our estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate all month long. Both of these hormones directly influence neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. (AKA, the chemicals that regulate our mood, focus, and motivation.)
👉 When estrogen rises, many women feel more energized, social & clear-headed.
👉 When progesterone rises, the nervous system can feel more sensitive.
👉 And when both drop right before our period, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or low motivation can set in.
These changes might be subtle. Or maybe, they’re affecting our relationships, work, sleep, and mental state.
If you notice patterns in your mood that follow your cycle, and they're interfering with your life, connect with our Fort Worth team!
