Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a very common hormonal problem for women of reproductive age. Common symptoms include long menstrual cycles, acne, facial hair, and weight gain. Many of these are unwanted, but thankfully, there’s many ways to naturally manage this condition.

Irritability, anxiety, sadness, bloating, headaches, brain fog, food cravings, acne, and more…why do I experience PMS each month and how can I avoid it? PMS is mostly caused by fluctuating hormone levels estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is our main reproductive hormone. It boosts serotonin levels, gives us energy, builds muscles, and improves insulin sensitivity - it’s the hormone that peaks right before ovulation, and that’s when it should be at its highest. But, too much estrogen during the luteal phase can be overstimulating which results in breast pain, fluid retention, irritability, and headaches, i.e. all the period symptoms we don’t want. 

When you’re trying to conceive, knowing when you ovulate is one of the most important things. The fertility awareness method (FAM) is a natural form of birth control that does not use any drugs or devices. It combines the calendar method, basal body temperature, and cervical mucous to give you awareness of when your body is most fertile.

Although it may seem intimidating at first, IV therapy is a great adjunctive treatment to whatever your health goals and concerns are. IVs can be custom made to suit your needs, which can range from dehydration to medical emergencies. They can also alleviate symptoms of the common cold and flu, morning sickness, and hangovers. Let’s take a look at how IVs are performed and how they can benefit you.

I think supplements are a great addition to a healthy diet to ensure you’re intaking all the right vitamins and minerals. What you need completely depends on what your goals and concerns are. Supplements are very individualized so it’s important to talk with your doctor about which ones are suitable for you.
