#90: How to minimise PMS weight gain & other side effects, my own unusual experience, the power of tracking

See this content in the original post

What a bloody shock & a low few days I had last week… wow.

Just after I released the podcast last week about my skin being clear of acne for 1.5 years - I broke out all over my chin on that EXACT same day.

How ironic is that?

I can’t believe it.

It was also accompanied by:

  • Anxiety

  • Low moods

  • A WHOLE LOT of fluid weight gain

And, luckily because I track my cycle on an app (Clue) I was comforted to know that it was hormones BUT it’s still weird for me because most months I don’t even get PMS.

Anyway, what it did was spark me to research heavily into unusually fluctuating hormones o work out what’s going on.

It’s also sparked me to talk about this with you today on the podcast.

I’m going to share what I did to manage my symptoms, why I think it’s possible happened, the importance of tracking and how you can manage your own PMS symptoms (particularly the fluid weight gain). 

It’s so unfair that this happens to us women once a month - that’s too much!! But, the good news is is that if we are savvy - we can minimise the side effects dramatically.

Hope this helps you!
