Thank you for commenting. Unless you have specific condition, soy is generally fine. However, as always, best to speak with your healthcare provider for tailored nutritional advice. :)
Hello Melanie thank you for your video. My pms mood is usually the worst 2 days before my period. I have tender and painfull breasts from week 3 till week 4. Some months more then other months. Also not sleeping well and food gravings. I always try to go into nature an walk a lot that seems to help. A lot of months i was crying and had sudden moods swings about 3 days before my period. 1 day before my period is always the absolute worst, i learned to put that day in my agenda and not make any appointments. If i have to work that day then i go home early and watch a nice video and i just know crying could come out of the blue. But last month i was extremely angry towards my partner. This makes me really sad. I think he understood that it was really the pms causing this outburst, nevertheless it did damage the relationship a bit. I´ve had this for years now, a lot of times when i try to avoid my partner 1/2 days before my period everything is ok. Birthcontrol didnt help at all, it made it worse by feeling depressed all the time. Also I noticed i have very extreme ovulations, i can see it in my eyes i just become totally crazy and feeling on top of the world. There seem to be a pattern that if my ovulation is really strong then pms is also hitting hard that month. I discovered that when my weight is a bit higher it can also make pms worse. A couple of months ago i tried eating fish 3 times a week the last 2 weeks of my cycle and that seemed to help a lot. I also eated almost no carbs that 2 weeks and lost some weight. To my surprise i had almost no pms symtoms that month. Unfortunely i was not able to maintain that diet, so i will try to do it again so hopefully next month pms will not be that bad.
Bitter 85% chocolate actually has some nutritional health benefits--the darker it is, with less sugar, the better. I'm going to try a calcium and magnesium supplement to see if it helps.

Thank you for your comment :)
I thought soy was bad for estrogen modulation?

Hello! do you have any tool to measure dietary practices for management of premenstrual syndrome?
Hi there, I don't use a specialised tool for premenstrual syndrome. Instead, I use traditional dietary analysis methods.
Bitter 85% chocolate actually has some nutritional health benefits--the darker it is, with less sugar, the better.
I'm going to try a calcium and magnesium supplement to see if it helps.
currently want to quit my job and punch a wall so thank you for this
I'm sorry to hear.
😂 we’ve all been there. I think every time I’ve quit a job or ended a relationship, it’s been while I’m PMS’ing.
Calcium from dairy helped me

How can I take fats
To manage these symptoms, it may be best to have small amounts of good fats or fatty foods (such as dairy) through out the day.
