That sudden weight gain and bloating before your periods is not fat gain. It’s usually a progesterone drop. Progesterone keeps your body calm, digestion smooth, and fluid balance stable. When it falls in the days before periods, many women suddenly feel puffy, tight, constipated, and heavier, even though they’re eating the same food. Clothes feel uncomfortable, the stomach looks swollen, and the scale jumps overnight. Most women are told this is “normal PMS” and are advised to eat less or exercise more. That only makes things worse. This pattern means your hormones and gut are not communicating properly. The good news? This is fixable when you address hormones, digestion, and metabolism together — not with random supplements or extreme dieting. I work with women who are tired of dreading one week every month and want stable weight and a calm gut throughout their cycle. 👉 Comment YES to book a consultation. ayurveda_sonam . . . . . #womenshealthmatters #hormonehealth #periods
