Natural treatment of heavy periods

In a normal period, you should not lose more than about 80 mL of menstrual fluid over all the days of the bleed. That’s equivalent to about five tablespoons spread over all the days of the bleed.

In episode two of The Lara Briden Podcast, Dr Lara covers heavy periods including:

- the role of hormone imbalance, mast cell activation, and insulin resistance,
- simple period-lightening strategies such as iron, zinc, and a dairy-free diet, and
- using body-identical progesterone to lighten periods.

I've been listening to videos for almost a month because I suffer from restless leg syndrome every night and this is the most informative video I have ever encountered. Wow! I give this 10 stars!

I have the A1 casein thing! When I was younger I always had tonsillitis, sore throat and ear infections. I realised, even then, that when I consumed milk, I'd soon get an infection. My family thought I was being ridiculous but I'm glad it wasn't all in my head😅. I don't get those infections anymore though.

I cut dairy and instantly my periods become lighter and pain free. I was healthy as a child. I ate dairy this weekend and started my period a day later, and it's painful and heavy again. I'll definitely stick to dairy free!

Today I learned that a normal bleed is 5 TBS. Wow, you mean to tell me that most women barely bleed at all? I could probably mesure in cups

Heavy bleeder with horrible cramps, and I’ve had my period every two weeks for over 3 years. My OB is male - he did a biopsy and other tests, found nothing wrong and told me it is “no big deal” - my mother has endometriosis and I feel that I may as well. I have four children, I have my tubes tied, and I’m 33 years old. I was told no I asked for a hysterectomy when I asked a few years ago. I also get small ovarian cysts sometimes -
This time, when my period started, I had horrible cramping for three days before and was starting to get worried. Sometimes, I don’t want to be a woman anymore. I vomit and feel terrible when I try BC pills & struggle with mental illness already - I feel like my hands are tied, so I’m looking into natural ways to not only make my periods, less heavy, but also, so I don’t have to bleed every two weeks.

Thank you so much for natural & sensible avenues! 💕 in the US we just get a prescription for the symptoms never a plan for to eliminate the root cause! I am definitely buying your books! 🌟🌟

Thank you so much for this video. I just started the progesterone cream waiting for my next visit to see if my doctor can prescribe real progesterone pills. I live in USA and that’s kind of complicated here. I am taking inositol. Do you think I should stop it? Thank you inn advance for your response.

Hi Lara, what about Magnesium? you mention it in your book, could be useful for heavy periods?

[carlamartinez]

thanks, very clear One question, long luteal phases, 19, 20 days indicate progesterone deficiency?

[rachelbinson]

When you say to avoid diary does it also include yogurt, curd, probiotic drinks, cheese?

I’ve noticed once got in my late 30s that I’d get my period every 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks, is that normal?

Hello lara
Thanks for your videos!
I have heavy periods and a slightly thickened uterine lining
I’m 39 and just found out I’m anemic again
I had an iron infusion with my last pregnancy 7 years ago … and have just managed till now but in hindsight may have been anemic for the last year
I also found I have a cyst on my right ovary and right adenexa

Obgyn says all hormone levels are normal
What would cause the cyst to grow ?
Obgyn also said not worried about the cysts either

What would you suggest ?

Awesome! blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2 vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
