If your PMS has gotten worse over the past few years, you’re not imagining it, and no, it’s not just “aging.”

Around your mid-to-late 30s, progesterone begins to decline faster than estrogen, creating a relative imbalance known as 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. Symptoms like irritability, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, and insomnia become more pronounced, especially in the second half of your cycle.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀? There’s so much we can do with nutrition, targeted herbs, and stress regulation to restore that balance before menopause.

If you feel mentally fuzzy, forgetful, or like you're running on low power, your body is trying to tell you something.

Here are 5 often-overlooked causes:
1️⃣ Blood sugar imbalances
2️⃣ B12 & omega-3 deficiencies
3️⃣ Gut inflammation
4️⃣ Shallow breathing
5️⃣ Poor sleep

Remember: Brain fog isn’t random, it’s a sign your body is out of sync. When you start recognizing the patterns, you can stop guessing and start supporting your system.
