If you’ve been experiencing weird period symptoms like dizziness, painful ovulation, food aversions, trouble sleeping, or swelling before your cycle your body might be telling you it’s nutrient deficient. It’s not always just hormones. Often, the missing link is hidden in vitamin and mineral imbalances that happen cyclically and go untreated.
In this video, we break down 5 unusual period symptoms that are actually signs of nutrient deficiencies and how to support your body naturally through better nutrition and smarter testing.
🩸1. Dizziness before your period? That lightheaded, off-balance feeling right before your cycle starts could be a sign of iron deficiency, especially if your periods are heavy. But it can also signal low vitamin D1 which is essential for proper calcium and magnesium metabolism.
🌙 2. Can’t sleep during PMS? If you feel restless, anxious, or wired at night during your luteal phase, look into magnesium B6, calcium, or even omega-3s. These nutrients help calm the nervous system and regulate melatonin, your body’s sleep hormone.
💧3. Feeling bloated or swollen all over? This common PMS symptom is often due to electrolyte imbalance, especially low potassium or too much sodium. Combine that with low vitamin B6, and the body starts retaining water while hormones are shifting.
🥄 4. Sudden food aversions before your period? If smells are overwhelming or you can’t tolerate certain textures or tastes, it might be linked to vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. These B-vitamins support neurotransmitter function and digestion both of which get more sensitive during PMS.
⚡5. Ovulation cramps are more painful than usual? If ovulation brings stabbing or radiating pain, low omega-3 fatty acids could be the culprit. Omega-3s help reduce inflammation and support healthy cervical mucus and follicle rupture.
These symptoms are your body’s way of asking for micronutrient support and if ignored, they can spiral into more serious hormonal issues, including irregular periods, PCOS-like symptoms, low energy, and chronic inflammation.
🎯 So, what can you do?
✅Request a micronutrient panel from your provider or use at-home testing.
✅Prioritize food-based sources of magnesium, B vitamins, iron, and omega-3s.
✅Track symptoms by phase (follicular, ovulation, luteal) to find nutrient patterns.
✅Avoid over-supplementation target based on symptoms and labs.
