If you feel like a bottomless pit the week before your period, constantly craving chocolate, carbs, and anything salty or sweet—you’re not alone. And it’s not just about willpower.

In this episode, we unpack why PMS cravings happen through three key lenses:

✨ The nutritional deficiencies that drive cravings (like magnesium and B6).  📉 The hormonal shifts that impact serotonin, blood sugar, and appetite.  🧠 Somatic + nervous system piece that most people completely overlook—how cravings are often your body’s way of seeking safety, comfort, and avoiding discomfort.

You’ll learn how to work with your body instead of fighting it—and walk away with practical tips to feel more balanced and in control all month long.
