✨ I used to “catch a cold” every time I got my period... or so I thought.

Can you relate? 🤧
You’re probably not actually getting sick — it could be a histamine intolerance reaction.

During your period, your body releases more histamine to support uterine contractions. If you’re sensitive to it, you might notice:
💧 Congestion or runny nose
😣 Hives or itchy skin
💭 Anxiety, irritability, or brain fog
🍽️ Digestive issues

And if you have estrogen dominance (super common!), it can make things worse:
⚖️ Higher estrogen = more histamine.

The good news? Supporting your gut and liver can help balance histamine levels and ease these symptoms. 🌿

When your period starts, your estrogen and progesterone levels take a sharp dip — and that drop can leave you feeling extra tired, moody, or low on motivation. You might notice your energy and focus just aren’t where they usually are, and that’s completely normal.

This hormonal shift is your body’s way of asking for rest and recovery. So if all you want to do is curl up, slow down, and take it easy, listen to that. It’s not laziness — it’s biology doing its thing.

If you feel this way for MOST OF THE MONTH...then we got a problem! Your period is a vital sign your body is using to tell you there is a much deeper issue. That's where I come in🤣 I have multiple clients RIGHT NOW who were dealing with the same issues that have turned things around by focusing on Nutrition, Supplements, Exercise, Sleep and Nervous System regulation!

💪 Lifting heavy isn’t just for the gym buffs — it’s a game changer during perimenopause.

As estrogen levels shift, women naturally lose muscle mass and bone density, making strength training more important than ever. Lifting heavy weights helps support metabolism, balance hormones, protect bone health, improve mood, and boost energy. It’s one of the most powerful ways to build resilience and feel strong through this transition — both physically and mentally.

Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself… your future self will thank you. 🔥✨
