Are you tired of feeling like your monthly cycle is controlling you?
At Arlene Cycle Support, we understand that navigating the ups and downs of your menstrual cycle can be a challenging experience. For many women, the PMS phase – which occurs in the days leading up to their period – can be especially difficult.
From mood swings and fatigue to bloating and cramps, these symptoms can have a significant impact on your quality of life.
However, we believe that PMS does not have to be a negative experience.
In fact, at Arlene, we call this your “Super Power Week” – a time when you have the potential to tap into your inner strength and harness the power of your body’s natural rhythms. PMS is not a syndrome, it’s a superpower!
Unfortunately, too many women are told to simply “deal with” their PMS symptoms without being given the knowledge and support they need to truly thrive during this time.
Many turn to synthetic drugs to mask or micromanage their symptoms, not realizing the long-term damage they may be doing to their bodies.
At Arlene, we believe that the key to feeling your best during PMS is to give your body the support it needs to function optimally. And one of the most important ways to do that is by restoring the mineral balance that is so often lacking in our modern diets.
In this blog, we’ll explore common PMS symptoms and offer practical tips and strategies for supporting your body naturally during this time. With the right knowledge and tools, we believe that every woman can find peace, stability, and optimal health within her own cycle.
“PMS Phase” Symptoms May Include:
- Mood changes: PMS can cause mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or depression. These mood changes are thought to be caused by hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle.
- Bloating: Many women experience bloating or water retention during PMS. This can cause discomfort and a feeling of fullness in the abdomen.
- Breast tenderness: Some women experience breast tenderness or swelling during PMS. This is often due to hormonal changes that occur during this time.
- Fatigue: PMS can cause fatigue or low energy levels in some women. This may be due to hormonal changes or changes in sleep patterns.
- Headaches: Some women may experience headaches or migraines during PMS. This is thought to be due to changes in hormone levels and changes in blood flow.
- Cramps: PMS can cause abdominal cramps or discomfort. These cramps may be similar to menstrual cramps, but they occur before the period begins.
It’s important to note that not all women will experience these symptoms during PMS, and some women may experience different symptoms or no symptoms at all.
How To Support Your Body During PMS:
- Take the “PMS Phase” Arlene Cycle Support supplement pack. This pack is designed to calm your nervous system, renew and restore your body, support cell renewal, and boost your immune system, while loading your body with the probiotics and antioxidants you need for healthy digestion. The “PMS Phase” pack comes with the addition of Vitamin E to provide soothing relief from PMS symptoms and a sense of overall system calm and inner strength.
- Schedule a comfortable date with your girlfriends or partner. One that is relaxing and not a lot of energy output (i.e. movies, comforting food, pasta dinner, etc.) This is a great way to honor your energy during this premenstrual phase.
- This is a time where collaboration with others is okay, however be really mindful to take time for yourself to go within. Become the observer of what is coming up for you during this time. It’s important to honor your alone time in PMS. Women become very sensitive and intuitive during PMS and it’s important to honor your rest, emotions, and feelings in this phase.
- Practice journaling to help observe your feelings rather than being reactive. This is not a phase of action, but a phase of sitting with things. Journaling is a great way to express any feelings or emotions that may be heightened during this time.
- Spend extra time in nature. Going for a walk or hike, spending time in a park, or simply sitting outside in a natural setting can help improve your overall mood and reduce PMS symptoms.

At Arlene Cycle Support, we believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered and supported during every phase of her menstrual cycle, including the often-overlooked PMS phase.
By taking intentional steps to support your body, such as using our specially designed supplement pack and engaging in creative and nourishing activities, you can transform your PMS symptoms from a burden into a superpower.

Remember, with the right support, you can find stability and optimal health within your own cycle.
