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:
PMS is not caused by one isolated issue. Multiple factors contribute to hormonal imbalances that drive symptoms. The most recognized root causes of PMS include:
Estrogen Dominance: Too much estrogen in relation to progesterone can cause breast tenderness, irritability, and bloating. Environmental toxins and poor detoxification make this worse.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Low levels of magnesium, vitamin B6, calcium, and omega-3s impact mood, nerve function, and hormonal regulation.
Chronic Stress: Elevated cortisol suppresses progesterone and worsens PMS-related anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue.
Blood Sugar Imbalance: Unstable glucose levels lead to cravings, mood swings, and hormonal disruption.
Gut Health & Estrogen Recycling: Poor gut health prevents proper estrogen clearance, contributing to its accumulation in the body.
Liver Detoxification Issues: The liver processes estrogen. If sluggish, estrogen can recirculate and worsen PMS symptoms.
Functional medicine looks at all of these together to create a holistic, personalized plan.
To truly treat PMS, we need to understand your hormone, nutrient, and metabolic status. Our testing may include:
Tania, 34, came to us with severe PMS—cramps, emotional outbursts, fatigue, and migraines. Her lab work revealed estrogen dominance, magnesium deficiency, and blood sugar instability.
We crafted a 3-month plan including:
After 2 cycles, her migraines disappeared, her mood stabilized, and she finally felt like herself before and during her period.
PMS is usually caused by hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, poor detoxification, gut dysbiosis, or stress—not just normal hormonal shifts.
Many women experience complete relief with targeted interventions that restore hormonal and metabolic balance.
Birth control may mask symptoms but doesn’t correct the root causes. We prefer functional, sustainable solutions.
Yes, it’s one of the most frequent causes—often due to poor liver detox and gut health.
Stress depletes progesterone and worsens mood swings, insomnia, and bloating.
Magnesium reduces cramps, supports mood, and balances hormones. It’s often depleted in women with PMS.
Absolutely. A healthy gut clears excess estrogen, regulates inflammation, and impacts mood through the gut-brain axis.
