Understanding PMS: Discover an effective way to regain hormonal balance
PMS is a term used to describe a broad range of period-related symptoms that are severe and recurrent, occurring from several days to as much as two weeks before your period. While over 150 physical and emotional symptoms are associated with PMS, the most common symptoms are irritability, anxiety, bloating, mood swings, depression, appetite changes, fatigue, water retention and breast tenderness.
Women frequently report that symptoms worsen with age or stressful times. By the way, technically speaking, mild menstrual cramps are not considered a
PMS symptom, but PMS sufferers may experience cramps.
Here's an important point:
The symptoms of PMS are NOT inevitable. Changes in diet, natural techniques for stress reduction and other simple lifestyle adjustments will help to relieve PMS
symptoms and achieve hormonal balance. One of the most overlooked ways to regain hormonal balance is through the improvement of relationships – after all, good relationships (love) automatically will reduce stress in your life. (a major trigger of PMS symptoms)

3 ways to fix hormonal imbalances
As a naturopathic physician, Dr. Maxim emphasizes the fact that each person should be treated as an individual – no two people are exactly alike. But, there are some basic concepts to keep in mind:
Number one: Nourish and support the adrenals. Also known as the 'stress glands,' the adrenals play a critical role in overall hormone balance. They affect the thyroid and greatly impact reproductive
hormones. Bottom line, the more stress you experience, the greater the risk of adrenal fatigue.
Number two: Treat the thyroid. Nearly all women concerned over hormonal imbalance will have underactive thyroid to some degree or another. Unfortunately, a poor diet – low in minerals and loaded with toxins like, fluoride in drinking water will add high levels of stress to the thyroid gland. That's why lifestyle changes are a must, in order to effectively eliminate PMS symptoms.
Number three: Treat the reproductive organs. While the adrenals are the most important component of treating hormonal imbalance, the ovaries are also one of three primary organ systems known to impact hormonal balance.
The good news is that there are
natural ways to bring your hormones back into balance, affecting not only the symptoms of PMS but a number of other components of your health. No matter how much you feel you have been suffering with conditions like PMS, given the right information, you can take back control of your life.
Join us for a program that will show you how to overcome PMS symptoms naturally, without the need for toxic drugs or risky medical procedures.
