PMS and hormonal complaints
The same dip every month: tense, irritable, tired or low in the week before your period. PMS is common, but that doesn't make it normal to have to push through it every cycle.
The signals people describe
One familiar signal doesn't say much yet. A pattern of several is often the moment to look further.
- Irritable, low or tearful in the week(s) before your period
- Tender or painful breasts, bloating or fluid retention
- Strong sugar cravings, or more appetite than usual
- Complaints that lift as soon as your period starts
The link with your gut, in plain language
PMS is linked to the balance between estrogen and progesterone in the second half of your cycle, and to how your body breaks those hormones down again. Your liver and your gut both play a role in that. Swinging blood sugar and deficiencies, such as magnesium and vitamin B6, can intensify the complaints too.
The measurable side of your complaint
We often map your hormone balance, such as estradiol and progesterone at the right moment in your cycle, alongside your blood sugar rhythm, magnesium and B vitamins, and how your gut takes part in hormone breakdown.
We decide together what makes sense to measure. What we examine exactly depends on your story and your complaint, not on a fixed list.
When the foundation is right again
With targeted nutrition, lifestyle and temporary support where needed, we work toward a cycle you feel coming, without it taking over your week.
