If you are a biological woman, you probably know by experience that your hormones impact your emotions and can cause physical discomfort. Unfortunately, many women struggle with negative issues<\/a> throughout the lifespan co-occurring<\/a> with their menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n

According to WebMD<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs many as 90% of women experience unpleasant symptoms before their periods. If symptoms are reliably severe enough to interfere with quality of life, it’s defined as premenstrual syndrome (PMS).\u201d<\/p>\n

So, it probably comes as no surprise that the sex hormones influence<\/a> your whole body. Furthermore, they also impact your brain<\/a> signals and overall brain functioning.<\/p>\n

For example, estrogen and progesterone interact with brain neurotransmitters, including serotonin, GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric), glutamate, and dopamine. They also have been associated with playing a role in brain functioning and effect nerve growth and neuronal connections.<\/p>\n
