Period Problems
Are you suffering from painful cramping, heavy flow, irregular cycles, or maybe no cycle at all? Period problems are a common part of many women's reproductive lives, but they don't have to be.
Why is period health important?
Periods are not just important for fertility and having babies, regular ovulation and menstruation confers a huge number of benefits to your overall health. Ovulating regularly means that your body is making sufficient amounts of two important hormones: estradiol and progesterone. These hormones improve mood, metabolism, hair and bone health.
What is my period trying to tell me?
Your period is your monthly report card - it reflects your overall health and vitality each month. When your period is not normal (painful, heavy, irregular, missing, causing PMS symptoms or acne), your body is trying to tell you something. It could be under-eating, nutrient deficiencies, poorly managed stress, insulin resistance, dietary imbalances, a thyroid condition or inflammation.
How can Clinical Nutrition help my period?
Clinical nutrition works with you to find the root cause of your hormonal imbalances, rather than prescribing a treatment to mask its symptoms.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
For a decade, I battled chronic acne around my chin and jawline, irregular cycles, mood swings, hair loss, painful periods, severe digestive issues and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). You name it - I’ve been there!
I was finally able to clear my skin, regulate my cycle, be free of period pain and fall pregnant naturally with my daughter in 2020. It took me 10 years and tens of thousands of dollars in tertiary education to get the answers I needed to get better. I didn’t want other women to wait as long as I did which is why I’ve dedicated my life to helping women in the same position as I was, to learn how to interpret what their body’s so desperately wants them to understand, and then develop the right roadmap to address their unique conditions.
I'm here to help you get on track!
