It's Friday once again! Holla for the weekend, amirght?! I love today's topic because it is an actual tool to push you in the right direction to freedom from PMS, hormonal acne, better sleep and possibly a healthier weight! Now, I truly believe that beauty is a whole. That means nutrition, fitness, supplements, mental health and skin treatments. All the above leads to a balanced and happy life! I hope this topic helps and propels you in the right direction.
Here is the IGTV that correlates to this topic! Check it out to see me in action ?⬇️
DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor! I simply want to give the world options to heal internally, which leads to healing externally. This information is provided by Alisa Vitti, HHC and her blog Flo Living.
The past few weeks we have covered what our Infradian Rhythm is, 6 ways to balance hormones, birth control and now today, we talk supplements. I highly suggest downloading the My Flo App to learn how to plan your work, love life, meals and workouts according to the phase you are in. The app is what I use daily to check in, track and understand exactly what my body is doing at different times and how I can best support it that week. It’s amazing! Supplements have always been a part of my regimen and I always try things out before I talk about them. I have not tried Alisa's Balance Supplements, but those look like a really great option for those really struggling with serious PMS like me as well as hormonal acne. She’s done all the heavy lifting for you without you having to try to put a regimen together and hope for the best. Ok, are you ready? Let’s go over the supplements that help with PMS! ??
Supplements to Fight PMS and Balance Hormones
- Magnesium- Research suggests that magnesium helps alleviate symptoms of PMS, including weight gain, breast tenderness, and bloating. Magnesium is also great for promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety and stress, and encouraging good sleep. A high-quality magnesium supplement makes a great addition to your PMS-fighting arsenal.
- Vitamin B2, B6 and B12- Supplementing with up to 100mg/day of vitamin B6 is likely to help treat premenstrual symptoms, and premenstrual depression, according to research.
- Omega 3s & Vitamin D3- Both of these nutrients help promote hormone balance. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with reproductive hormone imbalances in both men and women. Omega-3s help protect against anxiety and depression and may help reduce cramps.
- Vitamin E- breast tenderness, according to research. (So does vitamin B6!)
- ALA- Alpha Lipoic Acid- ALA offers powerful antioxidant support for the liver as it works to metabolize excess estrogen — remember: too much estrogen relative to progesterone can trigger PMS symptoms — and also supports stable blood sugar.
- Calcium- Calcium supplements have been shown to help with mood swings during the luteal phase
Bonus
- Evening primrose oil- can help with cramps, aches and pains, and headaches in the luteal phase.
- Vitex- supports progesterone & luteinizing hormones which are necessary for your body to ovulate, have regular cycles and avoid hormone imbalance (short term use)
