PMS: Low Progesterone/High Estrogen

One of the hallmark signs of perimenopause is worsening PMS and symptoms of low progesterone. Symptoms include mood swings, heavy or shorter cycles, bloating, weight gain, insomnia. The symptoms can start cyclically and then seem like they are hard to track where they stop and end in relation to the cycle. As always, I recommend discussing any supplement regimen or any new symptoms with your healthcare provider.

This protocol is designed for women with underlying inflammation that is worsening their symptoms like joint pain, swelling, fatigue, inability to lose weight, belly (visceral) fat, and frequent infections. The foundational component of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle is diet and nutrition. Most of your antioxidants and inflammation fighters should come from the food you eat daily. I have included supplemental information on an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
