90% of women experience PMS, yet most are told it’s “normal.” At Patients Medical in NYC, we uncover the hidden hormonal and metabolic imbalances behind your symptoms—from estrogen dominance to nutrient deficiencies—and create personalized plans to restore balance naturally.We treat the whole hormonal system, not just your symptoms
What Is Premenstrual Syndrome?
PMS refers to physical and emotional symptoms that occur 1-2 weeks before menstruation and resolve with your period.
Types of PMS:
Of all the diet-related interventions, balancing blood sugar is the most impactful. Here’s why:
Eliminate refined sugars and processed carbs (white bread, pastries, soda)
Eat balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats
Avoid skipping meals or long fasting periods
Reduce caffeine and alcohol
Incorporate low-glycemic fruits (berries, apples) and whole grains (quinoa, oats)
Conventional medicine often attributes PMS solely to hormonal shifts. But we ask, why are your hormones imbalanced to begin with? Here are deeper root causes:
Estrogen Dominance: Too much estrogen relative to progesterone leads to mood swings, breast tenderness, and bloating.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Magnesium, B6, calcium, and omega-3s are critical for hormone metabolism and emotional balance.
Poor Blood Sugar Control: Insulin resistance amplifies PMS symptoms by raising inflammation and affecting hormone clearance.
Liver Congestion: Your liver processes excess estrogen. A sluggish liver can cause estrogen buildup.
Gut Dysbiosis: The gut microbiome (estrobolome) plays a major role in regulating circulating estrogen.
Chronic Stress: Elevated cortisol depletes progesterone and increases PMS anxiety and sleep disruption.
To uncover what’s really behind your PMS symptoms, we offer advanced diagnostic tools
Ashley, age 32, struggled with severe PMS—debilitating cramps, bloating, mood swings, and sugar cravings. Labs showed estrogen dominance, magnesium deficiency, and poor glucose control.
We built a 12-week program that included:
Within two cycles, Ashley reported 80% fewer PMS symptoms, no missed workdays, and more balanced emotions.
Stabilizing blood sugar by cutting sugar and processed carbs is the #1 dietary intervention for PMS relief.
Magnesium, vitamin B6, calcium, and omega-3s are most commonly deficient and often dramatically improve symptoms.
Many women experience dramatic reduction in symptoms with root-cause treatment and personalized nutrition.

Absolutely. Stress, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, and toxin exposure can all amplify PMS symptoms.
Yes. We use natural therapies, diet, and hormone balancing without synthetic hormones unless necessary.
DUTCH hormone testing, nutrient panels, thyroid testing, and gut microbiome analysis provide deep insight.
