Lara Briden - The Period Revolutionary
Leading the change to better periods
Sometimes a patient tells me she had only a salad for dinner. Or, even more puzzling: A green smoothie.
I could never do that. I’m tired at the end of the day. I’m hungry. I need a substantial dinner such as roast chicken with potatoes, vegetables, and butter. I honestly cannot imagine sitting down with just a cold green salad.
I don’t think I’m different from other women. Women get hungry. Women need food.
Insulin resistance is the condition of having chronically elevated levels of insulin. It’s also called hyperinsulinemia, metabolic syndrome, or pre-diabetes and is a major player in many women’s health conditions including PCOS, acne, fibroids, and heavy periods.
Insulin resistance also causes abdominal weight gain and is a risk factor for diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, dementia, and heart disease.
Do you have insulin resistance? It’s time to find out.
As my patients can tell you, I prescribe magnesium for almost every hormonal condition including PCOS, thyroid, hair loss, PMS, migraines, and perimenopause.
Magnesium deficiency is common because our modern soils are depleted and because the body dumps magnesium during stress. So, if you’re under stress, you probably need magnesium.
Progesterone is your calming, soothing, happiness hormone. It lightens periods and relieves anxiety. It also boosts metabolism, reduces inflammation, and is great for hair and skin.
Do you have enough progesterone?
