Heavy periods aren’t “just part of being a woman” — they’re a message from your body that something deeper is going on. Whether you’ve been told your only option is a hysterectomy or you’ve simply accepted misery as normal, there are root causes you can actually address… and that’s what we’re diving into today.In this episode, I’m breaking down:The real reasons behind heavy bleeding, from low progesterone to fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, thyroid issues, and even copper IUDsHow to tell if your bleeding is truly “heavy” (and what the color, duration, and flow say about your hormones)The foundational nutrition shifts that help every category of heavy periods, like protein-forward meals, low-glycemic carbs, and 30+ plants per weekThe lifestyle and supplement supports that actually move the needle, like magnesium, B6, liver support, reducing endocrine disruptors, and herbs such as shepherd’s purse and beef organs for blood rebuildingHeavy periods aren’t a diagnosis, they’re a symptom. When you support the systems that regulate your hormones (blood sugar, minerals, liver detox, gut health, inflammation), your cycle can change dramatically. I’ve watched women go from bleeding through products hourly to hiking, traveling, and living their lives again, without surgery. This episode will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you and what actionable steps you can take to finally find relief.Leah’s Favorite Things: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favorites—I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.Through the Balance Hormones Naturally podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing.
