The Natural Womanhood Podcast

Have you ever blown up at your significant other, only to realize that your period is due to arrive any day? You might wonder if you can chalk up your extra irritability to being in your luteal phase, and the premenstrual syndrome (or PMS) that often accompanies it—and then you might wonder how much PMS is too much PMS.

While we’re at it, what exactly is PMS? What causes it, and is any part of it “normal”—or is it always a sign of something wrong? What about PMDD? What role does your overall hormonal balance have to play in how you experience your luteal phase each month? Is birth control the only solution to PMS, or are there any lifestyle changes—especially when it comes to nutrition—that can help you mitigate that monthly creep of fatigue, irritability, cravings, breast tenderness, and more? These are all the questions Grace Emily Stark poses to nutritionist Ginny Noce (aka “The Women’s Health RN“) in this episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast.
