Premenstrual Syndrome

PMS isn’t just “part of being a woman.”

If your monthly cycle leaves you feeling physically or emotionally drained, your symptoms may be signaling that something deeper needs attention. Rather than simply masking symptoms, our functional medicine approach looks beyond the symptoms to understand the factors contributing to PMS and create a personalized plan designed to support healthier hormone patterns and cycles.

What is PMS?

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a combination of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, typically in the one to two weeks before menstruation. These symptoms can reflect how your body is responding to normal hormonal fluctuations and may be influenced by factors such as stress, nutrition, inflammation, and overall health.

PMS affects every woman differently, and symptoms can range from mild to disruptive. Common symptoms may include:

  • Mood changes, irritability, or increased emotional sensitivity
  • Anxiety or low mood
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Breast tenderness
  • Bloating and water retention
  • Food cravings or changes in appetite
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Sleep changes
  • Acne flare-ups
  • Digestive issues

If these symptoms interfere with your quality of life each month, they should not be dismissed as something you simply have to tolerate. Understanding your unique symptoms and the factors contributing to them is the first step toward creating a personalized approach to care.
