If your cycle is longer than 35 days, unpredictable, or you skip months… That’s not just “stress.” It could be ovulation issues linked to PCOS.

short 2) Why PMS Rage Isn’t “Just Moodiness”

  “If you turn into a completely different person before your period… this is not just moodiness.” Biological Explanation Right before your period, estrogen and progesterone drop fast. That drop affects serotonin — your brain’s “feel good” chemical. Lower serotonin can mean: • Irritability • Anger • Crying spells • Zero emotional tolerance This is chemistry. Not personality. Why It Can Feel Extreme If you’re already stressed, under-slept, or running on caffeine and low blood sugar… Your nervous system is more sensitive during this phase. So small things feel Huge. Your body isn’t overreacting. It’s overloaded. When It’s More Than Pms And if your rage feels extreme — like it’s affecting your relationships or work — it could be something called PMDD.

short 1) Brown Period Blood? Here’s Why

  "Ever noticed brown blood during your period? Is it normal or a red flag?"

1) Eating Bacteria Will Make You Happier (Here’s the Science)

  What if I told you… your happiness might depend more on your gut bacteria than your thoughts? Not your mindset. Not your motivation. Not even your circumstances. But the trillions of microscopic organisms living inside your body. I know — that sounds wild. Maybe even a little gross. But stay with me, because what I'm about to share completely changed the way I think about mental health, mood, and what it actually means to "feel better." Because most of us were taught that if we're anxious… it's a mental problem. If we're low… it's a thinking problem. If we're emotionally unstable… it's a willpower problem.
