Hi Lara! I purchased your book and love the material. I’ve already learned so much and implemented many of your suggestions. I now take B6, vitex, and limit inflammatory foods like dairy. I was taking magnesium before so it was good to hear how helpful that one can be. I was struggling so much with my hormone fluctuations after I had my daughter. With a lot of tracking and being more aware of my moods, what I’m noticing is that I feel the worst the day before I start my period but also the couple days before I ovulate. Exhaustion, low mood, brain fog. I’m wondering what this might mean about my hormones? This is typically a time for increased energy levels! Is there a deficiency that could be going on or a sensitivity that is different than the average? So curious your thoughts on this.

Pre-ovulation symptoms are often related to mast cell or histamine issues.
