- Ever experienced period issues and freaked out, frantically googling if someone else out there experienced the same thing? All of us will experience some kinds of period problems in our lifetime, but it's important to know what they mean. Each issue tells its own story about our health and hormones, and knowing what to look out for, it will be so much easier to fix any imbalances. I think that getting to know our bodies and fertility is one of the most important things that us woman can do, so I really hope this video will nudge you towards it.
I would also suggest to visit your gyno if you're experiencing period issues because it's important to rule out anything more serious. They might also provide with you very valuable clues as to what's wrong with your periods.
Hope you find the video helpful, and thanks so much for watching! If you know any other lady who would benefit from this information, feel free to share!

Another period problem is super painful cramps, but I'm going to dedicate an entire video to this topic in a couple of weeks, so just keep an eye out! I really hope you find this information interesting and helpful! Happy periods!
It's probably due to high prostaglandin levels. The pill and ibuprofen both reduce prostaglandin levels, that's why the pain doesn't happen. There are some ways to fight it naturally and I'll talk about them in that video. By the way, prostaglandins are also the cause of my period cramps. I know the feeling, they are excruciating.
VitaLivesFree Id worship you if you could do a video on that topic. Im a strong ass girl i tell you. Very pain resistant but the first day cramps push me to suicidal thought no kidding :( my periods are bang on time, very normal flow but the PAIN !! i could write poems about it :(
I beg you :( pls post the video soon and save us
I know the feeling, trust me. When the cramps feel almost like contractions and you feel like you just can't take it anymore. It's such an awful feeling. I'll post the video next week. Hopefully, some of the remedies will help!
My cramps are worse than when I was in full-blown labor twice
Perfect timing - as always. ❤️
Thank you for watching!
limiting dairy and omega 6 rich foods the week before my period and a good omega 3 supplement helped me the most,also Vitamin B 6 and magnesium helped me a lot:)))Iron supplements hurt my gut even the gentle lquid ones,so I drink blackberry wine with just 4 procent alcohol in it,it helps with anemia the most:)
Very good video!
+twinkitten1 Thank you for watching! 💖
Great👍 and helpful video. Thank you. Have a beautiful weekend. Love you😘😘 🤗🤗🤗🏵🏵🏵🌛🌛🌛
+Serban Gabriela Glad you enjoyed it! Hace a great weekend, too! 💖
When my period comes always get a very bad headache...Thank you for the video.👍
Detoxing heavy metals with TRS got rid of mine (this is my last update: ua-cam.com/video/PyWA-LoCeK4/v-deo.html). Liver and gallbladder flushes could be very helpful, too. Also look up the root cause protocol (on Facebook or their website), it's a wonderful resource for mineral balancing.
Menopause is also a reason for most of the issues you mentioned. Motherwort is a menopause ally.
True, but menopause itself is nothing else but changing levels of hormones, namely rapidly falling progesterone and still reasonably high estrogen levels, in other words Estrogen Dominance. xx
This is wonderful information! However it can be a bit confusing to know what your problem actually is. Up until about a year ago I used to have clockwork periods, no painful cramps. I have had some stress in my life for sure this year so that may be it. I had a surgery on my hip last month which really stressed me out before hand and I also had a surgery on the other hip earlier this year. I have had two 45 day cycles which is basically skipping a cycle. several months ago my breasts were sore for a whole month and I skipped a cycle then. And the last time was before my last surgery. I then got my period that was accompanied with HORRIBLE cramps, was clotty and heavier than normal. I thought to myself, I haven't had cramps like this since I was a teenager! also, I lost a bit of my sex drive within that time. I eat a very healthy diet, I'm a certified nutritional therapist. Healthy fats, good carbs, loads of veggies and good protein. I just want to get back to normal. I've been putting maca in my smoothies. I was thinking about ordering the estersence you talked about. I don't drink caffeine. I'm trying to reduce stress as much as possible. Any advice? I love all your videos!
I would check hormone levels before trying EstroSense because if your estrogen is normal or on the lower side, it will send it even lower (it happened to me). Stress is probably what caused all of your issues. High stress causes high cortisol production, which means that progesterone is stolen in order to produce it. Plus, the body becomes more "resistant" to progesterone, it doesn't assimilate it as well, so you start experiencing low progesterone symptoms during stressful periods. I would focus on herbs and lifestyle changes that combat stress and strengthen adrenals (maca is one of them) and everything should come into balance again in time. But I would definitely check the levels of progesterone and estradiol, so you know where you stand. xx
Thank you Vita! Which iron supplements would you recommend?
Solgar Gentle Iron is my favourite. It's super gentle on the stomach and doesn't contain any B vitamins, which is a plus in my book. Also blackstrap molasses! It's done wonders to all of my family.
Thank you:)
I am hearing a lot about cool foods and warming foods. Please provide a list or link to these types of foods.
Just google "Vata food list" for warming foods and "Pitta" food list for cooling foods. xx
Would love to know if you know much about prolonged periods. Like 7-10 days. Almost like the body doesn’t know how to “turn off” the bleeding!
Yes, like I said in the video, it's likely that estrogen isn't climbing properly during the second half of the cycle, so the body just doesn't get the signal to stop the bleeding. Check your estradiol levels during the folicular phase. Also low thyroid function could cause similar symptoms. xx
Could be deficiency in Vitamin K. Healing and blood clotting.
Since eating better I'm getting a lot more cervical mucus....diet plays a big part and I'm not over exercising anymore
Yes, diet is so important. But lifestyle too! ❤️
Definitely sounds like I have low progesterone.. occasional spotting, heavy, dark, clotty periods, but since taking liver herbs (milk thistle, dadelion) I've had no cramping. I also get tender and larger breasts a week before my period. Can't wait to see what herbs/remedies to use in your next video. I'd really like to raise my progesterone!
+Aleen R Have you seen the previous video in the series about low progesterone? 💖
VitaLivesFree I did, I just forgot about it lol.. I've been meaning to try vitex!
What do you think a bout evening primrose for breath pain. Also did I miss under stand you can have bad breast pain with either too much estrogen or low progesterone?
How to use maca powder. During cycle can I use maca?? Plz reply to me.
Yes, it can be used all month long, including during the period.
I've been getting spotting since 40 and I'm 41 now...
I take Onas 10 percent natural progesterone cream...spotting going....I also take boron to help estrogen levels....
As I must be low now that I'm getting in 40s..
The progesterone great for libido...and moods 😊
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
If your estrogen is low or progesterone is also low then which supplement we have take to balance...it? can vitex cranberry it can help it
Vitex raises progesterone. For estrogen, shatavari is the best at raising it. 💖
If someone has estrogen dominance what natural supplement would you recommend for that??
Here's a video I made about it: ua-cam.com/video/QsdICYkTn7o/v-deo.html.
I am confused because my periods have not been consistent for years and I spotted between periods a lot. I was told it’s because of insulin resistant and it is always fixed with metformim but now that I am 47 and starting to experience symptoms again I wonder if it’s insulin resistance even though I have lost several lbs and I thought my pros was healed. Or estrogen or low progesterone. I never had missed period with pcos only spotting between periods. :(
It might be premenopause as well. Definitely worth checking your hormone levels.
VitaLivesFree true Also think you said that need to check progesterone 21 days after start of period. But is now I am sporting in between how do I know what day 1 is?
First day of period is the first day of real flow, not just spotting. I'm not in the US, so I can't really recommend you any place, but just google it, there are plenty of places where you can order the saliva test.
😭😭 Maybe I am low in progesterone! I came off birth control 4 months ago. Cycle lasts 28 days but I get spotting and mild cramps 5 days before my period. I'm trying to conceive so this is very upsetting😔
Just get your hormones tested. If the doctor won't cooperate, you can order your own. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
1 yr &9 months of no period. So I’ve been taking vitex and lost a little weight. After 6 weeks of this I was getting a dark brownish red discharge. Now after 8 weeks, I’m getting light pinkish blood for the last 2 days. It only lasts for like an hour then nothing. I’m just really confused and have no idea what’s going on. My doctor wanted to put me on birth control or Metformin but I don’t wanna go that route. I want a real solution not a band aid. Any advice for me?
Vitex takes a long time to work and it's very effective for missing periods, so perhaps just give it a bit more time?
Will do. Thanks for replying 😁
Hi dear.... For a few months ive noticed that my amount of bleeding has reduced... I also have spotting on first n second day of period... Plz guide
Spotting is often a sign of low progesterone, and light periods could point to low estrogen, but unless you do an actual test, you'll only be guessing.
Hi thanku dear ....I have long and spotting periods ,I’m suffering from pcod doctor recommended some pills for 3months everything was good wen I was using those pills now I stopped and everything goes back again...clots during urinating I don’t no wat to do ......
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. Have you had your estrogen and progesterone levels checked?
VitaLivesFree
No mam but I drank decoction made with coriander seeds ...it actually worked and same day itself flow was reduced and within 2 days period was completely stopped .

Mam please answer
Am getting so much cramps in ovaries and legs back sting pain how do get rid of this iam low in iron need some advice
Ovarian cysts or endometriosis can cause similar symptoms, so I would highly suggest getting seen by a doctor. If there's nothing wrong physically, herbs and acupuncture can be very helpful.
@@Vitalivesfree , What if the doctor says the person has Endometriosis or Ovarian Cysts? What suggestions do you have, and have you made a video about it?
@@a.sweetpeac.2281 No, I haven't made a video about endometriosis or ovarian cysts. Dr Lara Briden has a lot of helpful articles on her website and a fantastic book called "The Period Repair Manual". It's super helpful! Endometriosis is an autoimmune illness, so the whole body needs to be healed.
I am suspecting that I have estrogen dominance (I quit the pill in july 2017 and started getting skin issues - started out as multiple whiteheads then progressed to big painful pimples) and low progesterone (spotting 2-3 days before my period) and also short LP (11-12 days). Do you think Calcium d glucarate en vitex combination would be a good balancing mix for me? @Vita
I wouldn't try anything without checking the hormone levels first because if you guess it wrong, you can do way more damage than good. For example, estrogen dominance can be both with normal estrogen and low progesterone, and also with high estrogen and normal or low progesterone levels, so if your estrogen level is normal but you start using supplements that lower estrogen, you'll end up messing everything up and progesterone is very likely to move lower as well because without enough estrogen, strong ovulation can't happen, and without ovulation, there won't be enough progesterone. Basically, testing your hormone levels is the first thing to do and it's not something to skip. Calcium d glucarate does send estrogen levels down, so be careful with it unless you have proven high estrogen levels. xx
you have lovely curls :)
Thank you! xx
