Join Dr. Tara Zeitoun, nutritional scientist, for a practical look at what the research actually tells us about nutrition and PMDs.
Summary
Patients are increasingly asking whether changing their diet or taking supplements can help with premenstrual disorders, but separating evidence-based advice from the abundance of nutrition information online can be challenging.
In this webinar, Dr. Tara Zeitoun will explore the evidence behind commonly discussed supplements, including calcium, vitamin B6, magnesium, vitamin D and chasteberry, as well as dietary patterns and factors such as caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar and sodium. Dr. Zeitoun will also examine the limitations of the existing evidence and the major gaps that remain in PMDD-specific nutrition research.
Key Takeaways:
- Diet is a major, modifiable lifestyle factor in PMD management.
- Nutrition research has real methodological challenges, and understanding them is key to reading the evidence correctly.
- Supplementation isn't always the answer: food is medicine.
- The evidence base is still growing, but it's enough to help patients make informed decisions today.
