Perimenopause, PMS, and PCOS: All About the Period

from Mayo Clinic on Nutrition · host Mayo Clinic Press

Experiencing a menstrual cycle — or the lack of one — can bring up a lot of questions. Why do I have more bowel movements during my period? How concerned should I be about gaining weight during menopause? And do I need to stop using plastic cutting boards so I don’t get PCOS? In this episode of On Nutrition, dietitian Danielle Cahalan discusses what the evidence shows about “cycle syncing,” offers tools for navigating menopause, and reviews dietary approaches that may support people with endometriosis or PCOS.
