🌙 PMS or survival mode?
If your premenstrual week feels like:
• Irritability out of nowhere
• Feeling teary or flat
• Sugar cravings that won’t let up
• Exhaustion that no amount of sleep fixes…
It’s not just hormones.
Your nervous system plays a huge role. When you’re in “survival mode” (fight–flight–freeze), your body shuffles resources away from hormone balance and into “keeping you safe.” Cortisol rises, progesterone often dips, and PMS symptoms flare.
Here’s the part most people miss … supporting your nervous system is one of the most powerful ways to soften PMS. This is exactly the kind of work I do with clients: balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, and giving your body what it needs to feel safe again.
Because when your body feels safe, your cycle feels lighter 🙃
