"We believe that PMS is a physiological problem rather than a psychological one." says Dr. Lovin, "At A Woman's View, each person receives individualized counseling and treatment with a strong emphasis on lifestyle changes and on nutritional and natural hormone supplements."

If a patient is experiencing severe PMS to the point that it is affecting her family and/or job, then we will prescribe medications, but will continue to seek ways to help her cope more naturally with this condition.

Lifestyle Changes

This might involve a low-fat diet, more exercise, and/or decreasing caffeine & alcohol consumption.

Nutritional Supplements

Some supplements that have been found to help with the symptoms of PMS include Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and evening primrose oil.

Natural Hormones

This might include micronized progesterone capsules or progesterone cream.
