Memorable Quotes:

"Unfortunately, a lot of us can be struggling with PMs symptoms and, as common as they are, they're not necessarily normal. And there are a lot of things that you can do either with your lifestyle or with your habits or with your nutrition, that can really support your body."

"Our physical health and our mental health are so interconnected, and when it comes right to our mood, it is greatly, greatly influenced by our hormones and our neurotransmitters."

"If you're struggling with other symptoms around your cycle, listen, pay attention, track things, write things down, log things and look for those patterns because that's where it can start giving us a lot of insight with what changes we need to possibly make with our lifestyle and with our habits or where our body is needing some support."
