Maybe you've taken days off of work/school monthly due to the pain, or maybe your mom/sister/aunt/besties had horrible periods so you assumed what your feeling is actually just life as a menstruating woman...as my aunt used to say "the curse of the woman".
I'm here to tell you:
UMMMM NO.
Your period is supposed to be PAINLESS and not interrupt your life🤯.
On a scale from 0-10 if 0 is no pain and 10 is worst pain ever, it should never be above a 2 (I'd love to hear where you're at-DM me on insta!)
And your diet is a huge key in getting you these painless periods naturally.
You see if you want painless periods the 3 things you need are:
Reduction of inflammation
Optimization of estrogen & progesterone levels
Reduction of stress
In order to reduce inflammation we have to stop adding fuel to the fire AKA eliminate inflammatory foods (yes ideally fully... try your best & remember results reflect the effort so minimal removal means minimal effects seen on cramping).
This means dairy 🐮, gluten 🌾, sugar 🍭, & alcohol 🍷
That pizza you're downing the week before your period is actually contributing to the painful cramping you're trying to avoid🤯.
I know this can seem overwhelming and have you thinking:
"what the heck CAN I eat?!"
"so I just have to eat broccoli and chicken all month😭?!"
