- In a normal period, you should not lose more than about 80 mL of menstrual fluid over all the days of the bleed. That’s equivalent to about five tablespoons spread over all the days of the bleed.
In episode two of The Lara Briden Podcast, Dr Lara covers heavy periods including:
- the role of hormone imbalance, mast cell activation, and insulin resistance,
- simple period-lightening strategies such as iron, zinc, and a dairy-free diet, and
- using body-identical progesterone to lighten periods.

I've been listening to videos for almost a month because I suffer from restless leg syndrome every night and this is the most informative video I have ever encountered. Wow! I give this 10 stars!
Heavy bleeder with horrible cramps, and I’ve had my period every two weeks for over 3 years. My OB is male - he did a biopsy and other tests, found nothing wrong and told me it is “no big deal” - my mother has endometriosis and I feel that I may as well. I have four children, I have my tubes tied, and I’m 33 years old. I was told no I asked for a hysterectomy when I asked a few years ago. I also get small ovarian cysts sometimes -
This time, when my period started, I had horrible cramping for three days before and was starting to get worried. Sometimes, I don’t want to be a woman anymore. I vomit and feel terrible when I try BC pills & struggle with mental illness already - I feel like my hands are tied, so I’m looking into natural ways to not only make my periods, less heavy, but also, so I don’t have to bleed every two weeks.
I have the A1 casein thing! When I was younger I always had tonsillitis, sore throat and ear infections. I realised, even then, that when I consumed milk, I'd soon get an infection. My family thought I was being ridiculous but I'm glad it wasn't all in my head😅. I don't get those infections anymore though.
Thank you so much, Dr Lara. Absolutely informative!!!! 😉🙏💃
I cut dairy and instantly my periods become lighter and pain free. I was healthy as a child. I ate dairy this weekend and started my period a day later, and it's painful and heavy again. I'll definitely stick to dairy free!
Thank you so much for natural & sensible avenues! 💕 in the US we just get a prescription for the symptoms never a plan for to eliminate the root cause! I am definitely buying your books! 🌟🌟
Thanks. I have also noticed the ibuprofen thing few years back. And was worried about it. Today I gt the answer
Great Lara - so clear and informative :)
thanks, Karen!
Hi Lara, what about Magnesium? you mention it in your book, could be useful for heavy periods?
Thank you so much for this video. I just started the progesterone cream waiting for my next visit to see if my doctor can prescribe real progesterone pills. I live in USA and that’s kind of complicated here. I am taking inositol. Do you think I should stop it? Thank you inn advance for your response.
Hello lara
Thanks for your videos!
I have heavy periods and a slightly thickened uterine lining
I’m 39 and just found out I’m anemic again
I had an iron infusion with my last pregnancy 7 years ago … and have just managed till now but in hindsight may have been anemic for the last year
I also found I have a cyst on my right ovary and right adenexa
Obgyn says all hormone levels are normal
What would cause the cyst to grow ?
Obgyn also said not worried about the cysts either
What would you suggest ?
I have a heavy period. The first in my life. I took Primolut N.
thanks, very clear One question, long luteal phases, 19, 20 days indicate progesterone deficiency?
it would be very unusual to have a 20-day luteal phase. The maximum possible is 16 days. Are you confirming that with temperatures?
@@LaraBriden Could I send you the graphic for mail? Thanks.
@@carlamartinez4686 please post your question (and maybe your chart) in the "cycle charting" section of my forum: www.larabriden.com/forum-discussion-board/
Thanks I Will.
How much ibuprofen during periods?
i like the part where you show natural remedies instead the pharma produced negative products... that people hav ebeen taking for so long with many side effects. causing to take other pharma medicine ...
❤
I’ve noticed once got in my late 30s that I’d get my period every 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks, is that normal?
maad maandverband is niet voor niks de naam van maandverband
je kan het aan een dokter vragen ❗️
I have had mine every two weeks for 3 years 😔 I feel your pain. I’ve always been a very heavy bleeder and I’m 33 years old. My OB did a biopsy and other tests, found nothing wrong and told me it was no big deal. I’m still searching for ways to fix it without hormonal birth control, which don’t agree with me. I hope you’ve found relief ❤
@@little.heathen I found out that I have fibroids and endometriosis but I noticed a difference when I go a few weeks without eating meat.
