Hey Shaneka…I used to experience the exact same thing and was miserable. Let me tell you what stopped those symptoms. When I began fasting and changed my diet to a more keto based diet, the bloating and other symptoms went away. I drink tea everyday just as if I was taking daily medications ( organic green tea, ginger tea, lemon water and turmeric tea) I cut out rice, potatoes, bread and sugary beverages along with walking atleast 4 miles a day. Cut the processed foods. A lot of food that we are used to consuming contains so much chemicals that it causes inflammation to our bodies in many forms including bloating and hormonal imbalance. Don’t let the ‘by the book old way of doctoring’ prescribe you medications. You control what goes into your body. Great video, as always ✌🏽 Sorry so long.

[@shanekae]

Thank you so much Shelia. I appreciate your transparency. Cutting the things you mentioned is no easy task but I KNOW it will be benefical. Thanks for watching💕‼️🫶🏾.

[@Steenycarr4]

I 100% agree with this.. this also helped me.

[@jerseyluv6056]

I find that being as gluten free as possible helps with my symptoms. As well as cutting out caffeine. So i drink decaf coffee, cutting back on sugar as much as possible, drinking plenty of water, taking pre/pro-biotics, exercise (yoga). Daily I am taking a multi-vitamin, vitamin D, vitamin C, and magnesium. I also have been using an L-Glutamine powder every morning mixed with collagen powder in water. I am 47 years young and my symptoms have gotten worse as I age. If I am consistent with all of the above I see a reduction in my symptoms so they do not disrupt my day-to-day life during the PMS phase and my actual cycle. I take Tylenol and ibuprofen if the cramps are bothering me, usually only on day 3 of my cycle. Hope this info helps anyone reading this. Also raspberry leaf tea is good as well.

[@shanekae]

Thank youuuu for sharing👑💕‼️I know I should cut the coffee during my cycle and up my pre/probiotics.

Girl, red raspberry leaf and peppermint tea (I put both tea bags in one mug) has worked WONDERS for my cycle. I feel relief within 30 minutes. Since the weather is so hot right now, I like it chilled. So, I’ll put the bags in a travel mug or glass bottle with a lid, add honey, add water, and chill it in the fridge overnight to ‘steep’ as if I’m making cold brew. You really have to stir the honey in well the next day if you do it this way, but it WORKS. I also like to take iron and/or a super or complete B-complex supplement once my cycle actually starts. Those are also great. And happy belated birthday!!! 🎉

[@shanekae]

Thank youuuu🫶🏾 I’ll purchase tea for next month.

[@HoneySnowflake]

So I just began using a period tracking app since last year and it has helped me a lot. So when I'm alerted about it starting soon I make sure to cut caffeine and alcohol, uptick on my iron intake(for me supplements and iron rich foods),I allow myself to feel the feelings while also checking myself when I feel extreme irritable coming. I literally treat my body as if I were postpartum. I also swear by raspberry leaf tea for mood and cramps!! I've noticed my period isn't as heavy and doesn't last as long. I hope those tips can help! Coming someone who used to leave school early due to bad cramps, I understand your pain girl ❤

[@shanekae]

Thank youuu; lots of people have recommended the tea. I plan on grabbing some this week and cutting caffeine around that time.

Too much estrogen can worsen PMS symptoms. Since I'm not on birth control I take a supplement to balance my hormones. I would limit my sugar intake, caffeine, and processed food at least a week or two before my period. Also, I avoid milk-based products and focus on organic foods, fewer pesticides, additives, and antibiotics which create high levels of estrogens. Raspberry leaf tea and Black Cohosh are two of my favorites.

[@shanekae]

Thank youuuu; I will make sure to make these dietary changes because I really need a shift.

[@diamondecollier9867]

I’ve found that PCOS has definitely made my period and the two weeks before pretty miserable. I think that unfortunately for women with PCOS (or other hormonal imbalances)we do experience worse pms and periods. Cycle syncing my food and exercise throughout my entire cycle has helped definitely alot when it comes to symptoms- as well red raspberry leaf tea the week or two leading up to my cycle. Wishing you all the best sis! ❤️ Also Alisa Vitti has a book out that is very helpful when it comes to cycle syncing, improving reproductive health, etc. I found it to be a very good read when trying to figure out what was going on with my cycle and symptoms and how to balance my hormones having PCOS.

[@shanekae]

I’ll try the tea and dietary changes while on my cycle. Is the book on Audible?

[@diamondecollier9867]

@@shanekae yup! It is on audible called ‘In the Flo’ by Alisa Vitti. That is where I read it! I always find myself going back to it as well for tips! Changed everything for me!

Hello from California! Happy belated birthday! 🥳 Love your style and had to subscribed cause I love your fashion hauls 😊 That good old cycle, I’ve had a bad one since I got it, I’m 47 and let’s just say after 35 the cycle just gets worse, I literally have a bad week before period than during I literally have to barely do anything for the first 2 days. In your 40’s you start this thing call perimenopause, that’s what you experience before menopause, you feel all these things that all I can say is if you are in your 30’s, take care of yourself, eat clean, exercise, don’t smoke no alcohol so when you hit perimenopause your body is ready for it!

Hi Shaneka I was just wondering do you drink a lot of cold drinks during your cycle? My OB told me many years ago she said that if you are eating ice and drinking cold things during that time it will make your cramping a lot worse. Just little FYI🙆🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 she also said taking hot baths will make you flow heavier to sometimes. So you can try just taking showers. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@shanekae]

I’ll definitely try the showers and no long soaking sessions.

[@msjfab1966]

Also try a heating pad on your stomach. No longer than 5 to 10 at a time. I know people have cramping in legs and back. So try it 🤷🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 I'm Praying for you.

Where do you get your music from? SoundCloud or do you use another platform? Also i am like that with my period as well. What helps with lowering my sugar intake absolutely no caffeine and lowering my meat intake. I drink green tea with moringa and my supplements are magnesium and chlorophyll. I cramp and feel fatigue and emotional before my period and it sucks lol
