Video Notes

PMS and cramps are often as sign of hormone imbalance related to having too much estrogen in the body or estrogen dominance. While the Western medical solution is to put teens on birth control pills, there are some side effects that parents should be aware of. Progestin is a synthetic hormone in the birth control pill that has been shown to hinder a woman's reproductive cycle later and may even cause issues with fertility later in life. Not to mention, once the birth control pill is stopped, PMS and cramps will return. For more information, I highly recommend picking up Cathy's Book, Stop Your Bitching: The Step By Step Guide to Balance Hormones & End PMS & Cramps. It's available to read for free on Amazon.com!

Here are Some Easy Tips To End Cramps/PMS:

• Stop drinking out of plastic water bottles. They contain BPA with is a known hormone disruptor.
• Avoid skincare, personal care, and makeup that contain parabens
• Eat warming drinks and foods in the week prior to your period
• Avoid ice cream, iced water, too many cold salads and cold foods in general
• Herbal formulas can take care of cramps
