PMS - Stress, anxiety, weight loss and hormones
natural treatment for pms that works
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) causes weight gain and sabotages your weight loss efforts.
It is something that many women have accepted as part of life, affecting mood, appetite, weight loss, energy and sleep patterns.
Click here to listen why my program is different and why it works.
There are numerous studies that clearly link PMS to hormone imbalances and weight gain. Caused by a hormonal imbalance in your female reproductive hormones, PMS takes hold after ovulation and often gets worse just before your period. It's not 'normal' & should be given as much importance as other health complaints.
Conditions such as:
...can cause pms.
Naturopathic treatment of weight gain caused by hormonal imbalance during PMS is successful and has helped many women heal their pms symptoms and achieve weight loss naturally. The best part is, it's available online! Read Michelle's story here.
Salivary Hormone Testing for PMS
By completing my full online naturopathic health and hormone test, I will invest no less than 45 minutes piecing together your symptoms and really pinpoint what hormones are causing your weight gain and other health complaints. If I feel that further salivary or blood testing via you GP is required, I will make those recommendations.
For example, as part of the process of compiling a natural weight loss program for you, I may suggest measuring hormone levels by using salivary hormone test kits, available from my clinic. Salivary hormone test kits can assist in the proper diagnoses of hormonal imbalances contributing to weight gain and conditions such as Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Cyst, Menopause and Thyroid imbalance.

Not sure if hormones and PMS are making weight loss difficult?
How does your PMS cause weight gain and sabotage your weight loss?
Neurotransmitters
Firstly, women with PMS have lower levels neurotransmitters such as Histamine, an important neurotransmitter that targets brain receptors to reduce anxiety and create calm during times of stress. This contributes to mood changes and can also make you crave foods making weight loss harder.
Hormones
Oestrogen: Secondly, mood symptoms are further exacerbated by the elevated levels of estrogen, which stimulate the Central Nervous System, making you ONE FEISTY WOMAN! For some women, drinking alcohol to relax becomes a habit, but this also causes weight gain and makes weight loss impossible.
Insulin: Before your period your body may not be able to metabolise carbohydrates as well, which leads to an increased storage of fats and higher levels of blood sugar. Excess blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance and is directly linked to weight gain.
Cortisol: is a hormone released in response to stress. There is a connection between stress and thyroid function. This is due to the affect of cortisol.
Stress stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), causing high levels of cortisol. This stimulation has huge implications throughout the body, especially in the gut, brain, adrenals and thyroid.
We know high cortisol (hypercortisolism) in the bloodstream can affect thyroid function by directly inhibiting the production of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and also inhibiting the conversion of T4 to T3.
In addition, women can suffer from insomnia during PMS and when you are deprived of sleep, cortisol (a hormone commonly released in response to physical or emotional stress) is released at an increased level and stimulates your appetite causing cravings and weight gain.
Unfortunately the combinations of neurological and hormonal factors that cause PMS are both linked to weight gain and both have a direct affect upon your metabolism making weight loss difficult.
PMS pretty much is a sign that your hormones need an overhaul; it is a major symptom of reproductive hormone imbalance.
If PMS is left untreated, more serious health complaints can emerge from the hormone imbalance such as metabolic syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOS) or Fibroids, Endometriosis or Cysts. And this shockingly can lead you to gain approximately 5kg every year! This is why some women get stuck on the diet roller coaster.
