PMS is real, but feeling anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself before your period is often a sign your body needs more support, not that you’re “too hormonal.”
In the week before your period, progesterone drops, estrogen shifts, and blood sugar can become less stable. If you’re already stressed, underslept, or skipping meals, those changes can feel even more intense.
The good news? You don’t have to just push through it. When we look at hormones, blood sugar, stress, sleep, and nervous system health together, we can start to understand why your body is reacting this way.
