Your PMS symptoms are a message from your
body.
*Mood swings
*Painful breasts
*Headaches
*Fluid retention
*Irritability
*Anxiety
*Poor sleep
These can all be signs your body may need more
nutritional support during the luteal phase. FYI: This is
the phase that starts after ovulation & prior to
your period.
Your hormones rely on nutrients to:
* Produce neurotransmitters (‘feel good’ brain
chemicals)
* Support progesterone production - healthy
progesterone levels = better luteal experience
* Manage oestrogen effectively - High oestrogen
will impact progesterone > PMS
* Support the nervous system & stress response
- helps with mood stabilisation prior to your
period.
Which is why food can make such a difference
when it comes to PMS symptoms.
Some key nutrients I often focus on:
• Magnesium
• Vitamin B6
• Iodine
• Tryptophan-rich foods
Small changes consistently can have a BIG
impact on how you feel before your period.
