Brought to you by Veronica | RN, Hormone Whisperer, and One of You

COMMON PERIOD PROBLEMS & WTF THEY MEAN
- Hemorrhagic Periods (Super Heavy Flow) – Could signal hormonal imbalance, fibroids, or clotting issues. Support with iron, vitamin K, and anti-inflammatory foods (turmeric, leafy greens).
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) – A metabolic & hormonal disorder. Symptoms = irregular periods, weight struggles, acne, excess hair. Support with blood sugar balance, spearmint tea, inositol, and stress reduction.
- Endometriosis – Chronic inflammation causing pain, adhesions, heavy periods. Support with omega-3s, turmeric, castor oil packs, and pelvic steaming
- Yeast Infections & Chronic BV – A gut-hormone issue, NOT just ‘bad hygiene.’ Fix the microbiome (probiotics, garlic, fermented foods).
- Acne, Skin & Hair Changes – Signs of androgen excess, stress, or nutrient depletion. Support with zinc, DIM (broccoli, cabbage), omega-3s.
