#14 – Supplements for Exercise & PMDD

On podcast #14 (which I thought I was on 13 so forgive me on that when you listen) I chat about medicine and supplementation for PMDD and Exercise. Did you know that all humans are deficient in quite a few nutrients? It makes sense with all the unnatural food we have on the market, rising levels of obesity and mental disorders, and chemicals on our ingredient lists that we cannot even pronounce. But we also don’t go outside as much as our ancestors and we sit for more than 80% of our days now too.

I chat about the medications that have been shown to help PMDD and the regimen that I use them in to help me manage my symptoms and really bad episodes. Take a listen to Episode 10 where I talk about PMDD and what it is.  But besides the medication the supplements I take do double the purpose when they each have a significant part in PMDD and exercise.

For reference those medications for PMDD are:

  • Fluoxetine – common names are prozac and sertraline – Smallest dose to take from ovulation to when my period starts & sometimes I don’t need to take it.
  • Ibuprofen – about the only thing that helps with my cramps and inflammation in tender female areas during my cycle and my digestive system upsets – taken as needed
  • Benzodiazepine – Xanax – this is for sudden onset attacks and I only take this maybe four to six times a year – half a pill – this is a highly addictive drug so use with extreme caution

Supplements that I talk about are the following:

  • Vitamin D
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin B6
  • Turmeric
  • Biotin
  • Omega 3 – Find this on Amare here
  • Chasteberry (Vitex) – Find them on Amazon here

And one that I forgot to mention was the Fundamentals pro and pre biotics from Amare which can be found here! 

***As a final note – I am by no means you or your doctor. I am just sharing what has worked for me. Please be careful in what you choose to supplement with and research for yourself on these! Overdosing can be dangerous. Consult with your physician if you have any questions as well!

Finally, Amare Global. I came across this company last month that is directly in line with my business and mission to balance mind and body. They are a mental health and wellness company. I loved their mission but then when I started learning about their products which are all natural and are specifically designed and formulated to help mind and body, I knew this was meant for my body and the PMDD and anxiety I deal with! Then I started thinking about all the other people who I have come in contact with that have anxiety, depression, mental restlessness, and disorders like hashimotos, bipolar, and fibromyalgia that could also benefit from the many different products they offer. What we put into our bodies and the lifestyle we live will directly impact our mental health and Amare is helping people to live with optimal mental health. I haven’t see a company like this yet and I know they are on to the next progression in health and wellness.
