I love researching PMS. It’s a huge area of focus in my clinical practice and something I’ve spent thousands of hours on. Part of what I love about PMS is the integrative solutions that look at the impact of nutrition and stress on how resilient the brain feels during this (otherwise simple) hormone fluctuation.    Calcium has emerged as a “nutrient of interest” in PMS because it fluctuates widely through the cycle (especially in the brain), impacts serotonin and mood-related chemicals in the brain, and is lower in people with PMS than in people without.  In this episode, I give you the tools you need to think more critically about your PMS, your diet and give you the answers to take to your health care provider to talk about the role of calcium on your mood.
