I saw a tip to change the light display setting to white and black when you need to be productive off your phone. Seeing it in those b&w makes you less interested in strolling. Personally I crunched down my social app screen time with setting a limit on the app. Like I have a 1 hr tik tok limit and sometimes go over for 30-45 mins.

Time stamps- 1-) 4:00 ~swapping out soda for Ollie pop 2-) 5:51 ~ swap out seed oils.Instead use avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil 3-) 7:40 ~cycle sinking when you eat or workout. Listen to your body 4-) 12:33 ~let go of refined sugar Recommendations •Alyssa’s vegan bites •Giselle’s bakery 5-) 15:03 ~ swapping out processed snacks •Lesser evil brand- no cheese popcorn •siete 6-) 16:24 ~instead of cooking carrots eat them raw 7-) 17:41 ~swapping out alcohol for kombucha, drink alcohol for special occasions 8-) 18:56 ~swap dark rooms for some natural sunlight. Open up every window Get outside within first two hours of waking up 9-) 19:52 -swap blue lights Before bed. lessen screen time. Read a book instead Sleep is the foundation for everything. Don’t cut things out of your life, replace them.

Ladies definitely read The Period Repair Manual. It taught me so much! It recommended zinc, magnesium, and myo-inositol for my pcos. Since I started taking them 6 months ago, my cycle is regular for the first time ever. This is after seeing many doctors who only want to put me on birth control.

"it's not about calories, it's about chemicals!" That hit me! Thanks for this video. I've been dealing with PMDD for 5 years and recently cut out dairy/cheese/milk, sweets and within that 1 week eliminating those items and eating protein (meats/chicken/beef/steak) along with green/ cruciferous veggies. when I did that during my PMDD days I noticed QUITE a difference. No rage, no depression, no very little irritability, and insomnia improved BIG time. Me finding alternative is what I am working on now, so this video was perfect.

Love this video. Just a reminder, sugar itself isn’t inherently bad. Your body needs that carb for functionality. Finding swaps that can lessen added/refined sugar and pair the sugar intake with good ole fiber will be a great way to attack overconsumption of sugar. In America, we over consume sugar & then a lot of people spiral and try to go NO SUGAR without understanding that sugar is not inherently “bad”. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing lovies just everything in moderation! This creator shows great swaps and is promoting balance. Steer away from others who try to force all of nothing.

“Renting my body” is exactly the feeling!

The period stuff?? I have NEVER in my life heard anyone break down the connection between our cycles and exercise in this way. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I haven't eaten 'out' since January 2022. KZfaq recipes have been a godsend. I restricted processed/added sugars, processed starches, grains, and soy. With just diet restrictions and intermittent fasting this year I've lost 100lbs. Looking forward to working on mobilization this year, but am working against fibromyalgia. Thanks for sharing your journey!

This year I was diagnosed with PCOS after being on my period for 3 month straight. I bled so much that I started having fainting spells. I'm starting to learn how to handle it but swapping candy and sweets for fruit has been the biggest saver for me. I feel much more energized and not so inflamed!🥰

Evening Primrose Oil is a huge game changer when it comes to inflammation and the female reproduction system

I've actually started placing my phone on my desk, which is far from my bed, really helps with the nighttime scrolling issue! I was having a similar problem and I'm naturally a night owl, plus I've struggled with insomnia all my life, so I've started shutting off bright overhead lights and turning on softer, orange hued lights at about 8-9PM. I take melatonin every night. And I place my phone on my desk with an alarm when I get into bed. It prevents me from going on it since it's so far, and when the alarm goes off, I'm forced to get out of bed to shut it off. My desk is also near the door to my bathroom, which is my first step in the mornings, so while I'm up, I go to the bathroom. And since I'm already up, I figure hey, might as well get my coffee ready, open up a book or my planner. These little things have truly improved not just my sleep but my mornings as well. Life-changing! Loved this video, especially the info centered around food. I love your outlook on diet!!

😢 this came right on time for me . People around me just don’t understand why I’m feeling the way I do. Girl I’m taking notes. I’m 40 and I’ve been feeling bad for 2 years .

The kevita lime mint coconut mojita honestly made me feel like I could have a good mocktail instead of a drink every time I’m craving it! It’s honestly amazing

I swapped before bed doom scrolling with scripting! Those moments before you fall asleep are excellent for manifesting (whether you believe in it or not 😉) plus it helps me get clear on my intentions for the next day.

For me to avoid bloating: 1) water! No soda for me! Soda any form actually ruins the bladder and you'll be prone to stones/UTIs/yeast 2) flax/chia if you need fibre/protein 3) exercise 4) adding more fruit (also watching what fruit like avoid guava) 5) stress management 6) cotton panties and letting your area breathe! 7) again WATER 💦 😂 8) talking to a dietitian if you're completely lost

Thanks for this video Bria 💕 I’m on a very similar journey. I’ve struggled with PMDD for years and I have noticed improvements in a lot since making changes on what I consumed and my lifestyle.

Prebiotic Sodas and Kombuchas really have changed my life but I also love my teeth so DRINK THESE WITH A STRAW!!

thank you so so much for posting this. currently going through my pmdd “hell” week - the back pain, cramps, headaches, and irritable energy are real right now. my goal this year is to work through it and stay positive and this video can help me do that💕 sending love to you and anyone watching who is going through this🌟

A reminder that everything (including everything in our bodies and everything we eat) is made of chemicals, it’s the processing of foods that removes or reduces the useful components of food, and man made chemicals that are more likely to be damaging. But a reminder that some processing is healthy and normal (I.e. grinded grains, healthy oils, etc). And, for example those with IBS, need some of their food more processed. Food and diet is as personal as medicine. The best thing you can do is eat less processed if it’s comfortable for you, and see a nutritionist if possible.

It's so helpful to know that some of these things were changes I already made intuitively over the past year - helps me feel like I'm on the right track! This felt very affirming so thank you :)

I’m obsessed with this THANK YOU

Thank you Bria for this video! I really needed it right now. I have to make a diet change because I’m susceptible to having my PCOS triggered if I keep eating the way I am. This video really enlightened me and motivated me to swap out foods I usually eat!

Hi Bria! Thanks for the new video, watching your video inspires me because I also have PMDD and seeing you looking so amazing makes me wanna get at the place you're at

You are very very pretty and smart girl! I am very happy to see that people are waking up and taking their life in their own hands!! This will bring us a lot of healthy, happy people! Very happy for that ❤

Im actually crying watching this because I literally feel more heard than I've ever been ..thank you so much for this ..

It’s definitely about the small changes. I haven’t had soda in forever, I never even crave it. No processed foods, Whole Foods only! Also no refined sugars 🥰 helps tremendously

Thank you so much for creating this video. I am excited to implement these swaps and I learned so much about cycle syncing.

Same I’m in my late thirties and am JUST learning how to sync life with my cycle and it baffles me it’s taken this long for the information to reach me.

❤the timing of this video was perfect, I literally woke up SO fatigued this morning and struggled so bad to get outa bed. I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS for a couple years and I’m tryna figure it all out now. And the BLOAT 😢chile

Yes girl! You are giving the girls the information they NEED!

I never even thought about some of these things and how they might be affecting my body 🤯 this is super insightful 🙌🏽

I so needed this advice to start off the new year!

I feel seen having someone else around my age talking about this same topic. I often times feel very alone in my journey. I am happy for you that you are seeing changes and results (I just started recently after backsliding) and I love that youre finding a lifestyle that still helps you feel fulfilled.

I. NEED. More. Videos. Like. This.

This is such beneficial information! Definitely gonna make some of these swaps while on my journey! Thank you so much

I've read fenugreek and Maca help moderate hormones too. Of course, ginger/curcumin/turmeric help reduce inflammation, garlic/onion/oregano support the immune system and cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar spikes.

I needed this!!!

I am so happy I found you! I love listening to you ❤️ lot’s of love 💜

Your video was in my feed this morning. For me, 2023 is the start of a healing lifestyle. I started consistently drinking kombucha late last year, love it. Thank you, thank you, for this video. I will be using it for reference. New sub and the notification bell is on. Happy New Year 2023🎆!

I’m so glad I found your video! No one EVER talks about regulating hormones with food and cycle syncing. I do a few of these things just from listening to my body but I definitely need to try the carrot salad😋. I learned a lot about gut health back in July after having a month long bout of food poisoning! I used to eat any and every vegetable just because I heard they’re healthy and low carb but now I eat more cooked veggies and less of the cruciferous kinds. Thank you so much for your advice. I’m smashing that subscribe button lol

Bestie B, it would be so helpful if you put those little time stamp things/chapters in the video! Similar to the Seasonal Depression starter pack vid!

Bria, thank you so much for sharing this detailed information, as my daughter has been diagnosed with PCOS, and we were looking for ways to support her in this journey to live a fulfilled life. The Phases were on point and helpful to track. God bless you during this journey, my dear!💛💛

The timing of this video is perfect. I'm making changes to my diet to improve my quality of life...And yess those cookies are soo good!!

Idk how or why I found you and this video but thank you 💜 it’s definitely the video i didn’t know I needed.

TY BRI 🤍🍓

Bria, thank you so much for this viddd!!!

So I decided to take physical notes this time, and I'm glad I did. Super informative and easy to follow advice!! Thanks girl you out here doing the lords work cause that PMDD ain't nothing to play with!!!🤣🤣🤣😅

I loved this ❤ Please make more videos about healthy food swaps!

This video is so essential tysm

Wow this is such an amazing video for girls and women bc all of these topics don’t get talked about enough. Especially working out according to our bodies and cycle. Thank you Bria🥹

BRIA! Thank you for this gem! I'm definitely implementing these steps especially the raw carrot salad, all those symptoms you listed are everything I go through 💀💀💀💀 it's not fun.

Amazing tips!! Can't wait to implement these ASAP

Thank you for this 🖤

I am so glad you are better! Thanks for sharing! New sub!

You are a great speaker! This is a lot of information we can take and try in our routines! We definitely have to find alternatives and get in more exercise but not to much! I agree. ❤❤

Thanks for this video, we often times resort to cutting out and falling right back into the trashy stuff. This was great to hear, I just need to swap out instead, I’m personally tired of feeling like crap

If you can’t have sugar at all (even from fruit) monk fruit is a great substitute! The brand Lakanto is my favorite. You can get it at Whole Foods or order from Amazon. I like the “Classic” version best, which is a swap for white/refined sugar, but there’s also the “Golden” which is a swap for brown sugar. I think there may even be a powdered version too. You have to use a bit more than you would regular sugar but you can build up sweetness by just adding more of the product to your recipe. Or you can buy the version with 2x sweetness. Hope this helps someone with their cravings because it definitely helps me 💕🍰🥺

this video is perfectly timed

This is GOLD! Subscribing! Love to hear about your journey ❤

I always look forward to watching your videos, thank you for this!! You have inspired me to begin and share my journey on KZfaq! ❤

omg you are a life saver!!!!!

This was a great video!! So much valuable information. Thank you❤️

Thank you for these tips! They’re great 🙂

Thank you so much for all of this information! I’m experiencing all of these symptoms. I’m now 5 weeks in being a vegetarian but I’m still bloated, my face is puffy, and pms symptoms have me on bed rest…literally. Thank you so much! I’ll be trying these tips for sure.

Thanks for all these tips and brands… I suffer from endometriosis and I’m bloated… ALL THE TIME. So I’m looking fwd to implementing some of these changes 💛

Thank you for being such an inspiration✨!!

Thank you for posting this video!!! Love everything about it ❤️❤️❤️ I am also going through a lifestyle change and it is difficult but worth it. One thing I want to try is the cycle phase workouts because I just haven’t been losing the weight as fast as I use too and I don’t want to stress out my body if it can’t handle the current workouts.

So helpful and love the tips!!

Such good info THANK YOU!!!

Hot tea helps with chocolate cravings! I love these tips. Especially the no scrolling before bed. I really need to implement that.

Thank You for talking about PMDD🙏🏾 I suffered for years and didn’t know what was happening. When I figured it out it was hard to explain it to other women let alone my Dr at the time. It’s hell, lol. Glad to have found you. You also gave confirmation my dietary changes are going in the right direction. Def going to try the Carrot Salad 🥕 My suggestions: 3-5 day water or veggie juice fast - Every so often to “reset” my body when I’m feeling sluggish, esp after days I eat junk food 🥴 Intermittent Fasting/probiotics - for gut health. “Bulletproof” Coffee (black coffee w/coconut oil or ghee) - At first it was to cut the acidic taste of plain 23:13 Black coffee, but found there are some good benefits that come with it. **I ran all of this by my nutritionist first! **

Thank you so much for your video! I look forward to the next episode 😉 I appreciate the information and putting things in perspective. I'm trying to find alternatives to help my family stay healthy and break some generational habits and diagnoses.

Okay so I just found your channel and binge watched like three videos, I’m obsessed! I found Alyssa’s vegan choco bites and omg they’re so GOOD! Not Betty Crocker but perfect for PMS cravings! Also trying my first prebiotic soda since I’m craving the real thing! Can’t wait!!!❤❤❤❤

I’m about to turn 25 and I still have hormonal acne. Lately I’ve been doing research on how to heal my body from the inside out and this video showed up right on time. Thank you so much for sharing your tips 😊❤

Fantastic video 📹 👏🏾 . Thank you for this beautiful creation 💕

Thank you for sharing your bio-hacks! I would also like to suggest some things that have been very helpful to me: intermittent fasting, grounding (I have a grounding mat on my bed), using an infrared sauna regularly (like3-4x week), no meat especially red meat, take a probiotic supplement, listen to subliminals at night wearing a music cozy headset. Taking personal responsibility for oneself is the highest form of love ❤️

I’m gonna have to watch this video again to write everything down!

Another great “soda” prebiotic brand is Poppi!! The strawberry lemonade is so good. There is around 4 grams added sugar in it though.

This video made me a subscriber. Loved it!!!

Really great information! I am convinced my current health challenges are related to excess inflammation. I love sweets even though I KNOW sugar is one of the worst things to eat. So, two days ago, I changed my diet to include mostly raw foods. I can't wait to try your carrot salad recipe.

Thank you for this 🙏🏿

Super helpful! I was definitely watching this in a dark room at 10:30am and had to open them curtains!

Thank you for this ❤

I am very happy to come across this video I have definitely subscribed. Thanks for sharing what you have learned.

A huge hug from Brazil 🙃

If anyone has cholesterol issues go easy on coconut oil. It’s high in saturated fat. Avocado oil or olive oil are better :) Some good tips!

definitely giving this a try 😊

I needed thissss♥

B is part of my Saturday morning routine at this point 😘❤️

Thank you so much for this video! Definitely going to try some things from this

Good for you!

Low weighted workouts, yoga and dancing few days a week at least 3 -4 days a week...

That Olipop Root Beer version is sooooo good 🎉❤

Thank you sooo much for making this video🙏🏽 I tried the carrot hack right before my period and it heeeelps🙌🏽 I actually feel like my emotions are less all over the place❤

Love this video! I don’t have pcos or pmdd (actually never heard of it had to look it up) - I actually have HS Hidradenitis suppurativa & I think your tips will be helpful for me as well.

Ohhhhh “ it’s not about calories, it’s about chemicals”. 100%. Subscribed. Cuz thats it. Thats 100% it!!! 🎉

Thank you for sharing! Avoiding seed oils has been a game changer for me too and it's shocking to see how many products they're found in.

Very informative! Thank you!

Loved this video

I’m doing this with you ! Healthier habits moving forward
