PMS and Period Pain May Be a Nutrient Deficiency | Izzy Fischer

PMS and Period Pain May Be a Nutrient Deficiency | Izzy Fischer

Author: Dr. Wendy Myers August 6, 2026 Duration: 38:03

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health. 

Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages.

You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.

 

"PMS is not normal. We should not all be in pain; we should be feeling relatively good most of the time." ~ Izzy Fischer
