Over 90% of women in Canada deal with at least one symptom of PMS, and for some, this can be extremely debilitating. PMDD, which is a more severe form of PMS, effects between 4-9% of the Canadian population.
Dealing with PMS is often dismissed as being ‘normal’ and we are often told just to suck it up. But, the truth is while some of these symptoms may be common, they are not normal and you shouldn't have to miss work, school, or other social obligations for 1-2 weeks because you are in pain or uncomfortable. The good news is, we have Dr. Keara Taylor, ND on the pod to discuss actionable things you can start incorporating into your life right now to help relieve some of these symptoms that you may be experiencing. We chatted about:
The role of hormones in PMS & if you need to get your hormones tested for this condition
Diet and lifestyle tips to help relive PMS symptoms (acne, bloating, mood swings, cravings..etc)
Evidenced based supplements for PMS that are backed by research
PMDD and how to get support for this condition specifically
& more!
