For many of us, our period is a dreaded time of the month and I’ve been there. For 15 years, I had excruciating period pain, heavy bleeding that kept me from leaving the house and acne breakouts before every cycle.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the connection between chronic inflammation and heavy and painful periods. You'll learn all about prostaglandins, why these sneaky little chemical messengers are responsible for your period cramps and how they become elevated in the first place.
Plus, I'm sharing holistic options that can provide pain relief, how to be pro-active with reducing period pain and some of my favorite period products.
I had no idea pain-free periods were even possible for me but my periods no longer cause me any discomfort or interrupt my life in anyway. If this is possible for me, I know it's possible for you, too.
