It’s not just in your head! Your brain changes during your cycle, making you more susceptible to frustrating PMS and period symptoms like cravings, pain, brain fog, and more.

The good news? We can use a root-cause approach to help soothe these symptoms. Keep these tips top of mind during your next cycle.

Curb cravings: Aim for 25 grams of fiber every day—especially when PMS strikes. Fiber-rich foods like ground flax seeds, beans and lentils, and whole grains will help your body eliminate excess estrogen, keep you full for longer, and quiet those sugar cravings (well, at least some of them!)

Get a mental boost: Support energy levels during your luteal phase with micronutrients including iron, vitamin B (all forms), vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Low-impact movement and a consistent sleep schedule can also help improve your mood, reduce brain fog, and fight fatigue.

Relieve period pain: Magnesium helps to relax muscles while omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, making both supplements a great choice if you’re struggling with cramps and period pain.

Flex and Parsley Health have teamed up to deliver body-safe period solutions and whole body care beyond the basics. That means Parsley members enjoy exclusive discounts on Flex products, while Flex users get special deals on Parsley’s exceptional root-cause care.

Let’s break the silence, raise awareness, and support our endo warriors. You’re not alone in this journey. 🫶

Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial-like tissue, begins to grow outside of the uterus. In most cases, this out-of-place tissue is found somewhere in the lower abdomen or pelvis. However, it can technically appear anywhere in the body.

Untreated, endometriosis leads to period pain, irregular periods, and in severe cases, even infertility. There is currently no cure for it and it is sorely underfunded.

Whether you’re living with endometriosis or supporting someone who is, your voice matters. Together, we can make a difference.

😍 Period discs are the best… periodt

I can go the whole day without worrying about leaking because Flex Disc provides 12-hour leak protection. It’s body-safe, unlike so many other period products. AND my cramps are less intense and less frequent.

There’s a reason people are obsessed with it. 💅
