About Pms Pmdd

Cycle-related mood swings are often written off as normal, and many women come to DrTalks wanting more than that. Irritability and anxiety before your period, painful or irregular cycles, bloating and poor sleep, mood changes that get worse in perimenopause, and side effects from birth control are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the menstrual cycle. PMS and PMDD are tied to estrogen and progesterone balance, blood sugar, stress, trauma, brain chemistry and nutrient levels. You'll find conversations on how perimenopause affects mental health, trauma and hormones, plant medicine for hormone support, and amino acids for mood. Doctors, naturopaths and women's health practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from hormone panels to thyroid labs, and what helps, from herbs and targeted nutrients to cycle tracking, hormone therapy, better sleep and movement.
