Field Report: I Tested Internet Advice for Surviving PMS

Luteal phase, PMS, hormone hacks, mood swings — do internet remedies actually work?

This week’s field report: I tested some of the internet’s favourite luteal phase advice.

That meant eating a suspicious number of carrots and sweet potatoes, attempting to “rebalance” my hormones, and keeping a list of everything that annoyed me during PMS week.

Some of the advice helped.

Some of it involved heavily salted vegetables and blind optimism.

Here’s the honest verdict.
