Be amazing if you could do a more in depth video on PCOS, balancing hormones or a typical day of eating for pcos. Thanks for another great video.

This is great!! And seriously sooo accurate 🙌 I started taking a magnesium supplement 1 week before my period last month because I had had a chronic headache for 2 months, and even though it didn't help with the headache I did have my first period without taking pain medication 😍 Which is insane seeing I've used pain medication on my period for about 15 years 🤯

Can you make a video on the steps to becoming a holistic nutritionist, i.e., degrees, certifications, etc.? 🤍

I found vitex two weeks (one morning, one night, 28 total) before my period helped the most of all things. My very extreme PMS is now non existent. It took three months to see the effects, but it's literally a life saver.

Have you thought of having a podcast or something?? I could listen to you every day I swear❤🤗

For more environmentally friendly period products period underwear is the BEST. Started wearing a year ago and have never looked back. I do also have reusable pantyliners.

This video came at the perfect time! I’m so excited to try out your tips! 😊

I read the book "Cure" by Morley Robbins and learnt that we're all in iron overload from lifestyle, fortified foods, water and so on. The nutrient we actually need to utilize iron in the right way is copper! copper is so essential! i eat it in forms of bee pollen, whole food vit-C (camu camu, berries...), oysters and grass fed beef liver :)

Would you make a video on PCOS?(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) I’d love to hear your tips❤️

[manishakc]

I love your videos! Could you please make a video for bloating and gas or abdominal pain. I tried so many things and consulted Doctors but it didn't help at all. It will be a great help for people out there like me who is suffering from these kinda pain.❤❤🙏

[amatulhasanzaidi]

This is the best video i have ever seen, oh my god it was like i am talking about my problems, it was so accurate and soooo relatable. The tips are you made my day girl, big big thanks and love to you.

Another great and informative video, thank you Meghan

Hi Meghan! I was so glad to stumble across this video as I’ve always rough periods. The tips you’ve provided are super helpful and I will be implementing them. I will be trying the natural brand of tampons/pads you’ve recommended however they do contain less product and are more expensive understandably then conventional products. Do you know of any reusable/washable pad brands that you’ve tried and had success with that you’d recommend as well? Thank you so much and I appreciate your time. 😊

Thank you for the information, may you make for us a video about menopause ?

[robyn]

I have been using the diva cup for over 5 years and then I have some reusable liners I got off of etsy. I am 7 months pregnant and really hope I can still use my cup once I get my period back!

[uthraamanoharr]

This is super helpful. Is magnesium good for anxiety? We need more of these videos. Thanks for all that you do!
