"PMS is normal." That's what they told Rebecca for 20 years. Pop some Midol and deal with it. But cramps, mood swings, and bloating aren't "just hormones." They're metabolic dysfunction.
Body temperature: 96.4°F. Progesterone barely detectable. Estrogen through the roof. Three months after restoring her metabolism and raising her temp to 98.6°F? Zero PMS symptoms. Lost 22 pounds. Got her life back.
Dr. Steve Presciutti exposes why millions of women accept monthly hell as "normal" while the real cause goes completely ignored: you cannot produce adequate progesterone when your metabolism is suppressed.
The Devastating Truth:
You'll Discover: 🔥 Why Ray Peat called estrogen a "stress hormone" - not a female hormone - and how this reframes everything about women's health
🔥 The Katharina Dalton Research: Women with adequate progesterone during pregnancy had babies with 130 IQ vs. 95 IQ with deficiency - 35 IQ points determined by maternal metabolism
🔥 How polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) increase aromatase activity → more estrogen production → worse PMS every month
🔥 The "pregnenolone steal" - why chronic stress literally robs your body of progesterone to make cortisol instead
🔥 Why birth control shuts down your natural hormone production and creates metabolic suppression that's worse than the original problem
🔥 The raw carrot salad protocol that binds both endotoxin AND excess estrogen (double hormone-balancing action)
The Integration Episode: This episode connects EVERYTHING we've covered - thyroid function (Ep 10), fertility restoration (Ep 19), gut health and endotoxin (Ep 3), sugar as cellular fuel (Ep 4), the fasting trap (Ep 9), the exercise deception (Ep 8), PUFA poison (Ep 1), and the protein paradox (Ep 7).
Your PMS isn't about your hormones. It's about cellular energy production.
