Why PMS may be worse after the holidays
Does your first cycle after the holidays have you feeling extra cranky? Heres why...
First let's talk about why women get PMS in the first place: not enough progesterone.
Progesterone is our happy hormone. It helps stabilize our moods, it also is the hormone that we need in order to get pregnant. We have progesterone receptors in our skin, liver, brain, allll over our body. A fertile body is a healthy body. When we are fertile, we look better & feel better.
In the 2nd 1/2 of your cycle (the week or 2 before your period starts) there is a natural dip in hormone levels. If you don't have enough progesterone to begin with & those levels dip too far... then we get the PMS monster coming out to play 🥴
What lowers levels of progesterone?
Stress (our bodies release cortisol instead of progesterone when stressed)
Unstable blood sugar levels
Drinking alcohol
Too much estrogen
Lack of ovulation (being on the BC pill does this)
Stress, unstable blood sugar, drinking more than usual, & being exposed to estrogenic chemicals (grandma's perfume, soy ingredients in holiday dishes, plastics in tupperware, etc.) ... All of these holiday exposures can send our progesterone levels down the toilet & our PMS symptoms skyrocketing.
What can we do?
Don't worry, you don't have to suffer through PMS just because family drama sent your cortisol levels through the roof. We have a solution: Progessence plus serum + the Hormone Repair Kit oils!
Progessence Plus is an essential oil blend + bioidentical progesterone that we use topically to keep progesterone levels stable. The Hormone Repair Kit includes 4 other oils that support estrogen, thyroid, testosterone levels, and your pituitary gland (the master hormone center in your brain)
Typically we apply Pro+ once per day. Around the holidays, during times of extra stress, or the week or 2 before your cycle starts if you're experiencing PMS, we recommend applying it twice per day.
