Lara Briden - The Period Revolutionary
Leading the change to better periods and hormones
A1 milk can be inflammatory, leading to a variety of symptoms for people who are sensitive to A1-casein. A2 milk provides an alternative, allowing you to enjoy dairy products without the adverse affects. A2 milk comes from jersey cows, as well as goats and sheep.
Thank you to my nutrition professor, who first taught me about vitamin B6 (pyridoxine or pyridoxal-5-phosphate) for PMS. It is an effective, reliable treatment for premenstrual mood problems, including PMDD.
Back then (35 years ago), vitamin B6 relieved my own premenstrual symptoms so dramatically that it was my eureka moment in natural health and menstrual health. Thanks to B6, I realised that although period symptoms are common, they’re not normal.
Coming off birth control doesn’t have to be a nightmare for skin. Your skin might have been bad the last time you tried to stop the pill but this time will be different. This time, you’ll know about post-pill acne and how to treat it.
Endometriosis is not like other period problems. It’s not a hormonal condition like PMS and PCOS. It’s affected by hormones, yes, but fundamentally endometriosis is a disease of immune dysfunction.
The medical consensus has not yet caught up with the new research into endometriosis and immune dysfunction so hormonal suppression remains the primary treatment.
There is a better way.
PMS is my favorite thing to treat because it responds so well to natural treatment. I love to hear patients say: “I was surprised when my period just arrived. I didn’t even feel it coming.”
No irritability. No headache. No food cravings. It is possible.
The first step to easy periods is to value female hormones. Both estrogen and progesterone are powerful assets, and not something to be switched off with hormonal birth control.
