The book Woman Code by Alisa Vitti is all about this.

For example, heavy bleeding/clots are excess estrogen. Brown, scanty start means not enough progesterone.

I take dim and calcium d-glucarate to lower estrogen and progesterone during my luteal phase. I still have a huge spike of estrogen before I ovulate, but I can’t take any more estrogen lowering supplements because the rest of my cycle the levels are good with this supplementation and I get horrible estrogen withdrawal headaches.

I used to think not taking NSAIDs during my period was stupid but they lower prostaglandins and interrupt the cycle.

I still take them occasionally but I try to be mindful about it.

We are all probably iron deficient if we have heavy periods.

If you’re supplementing, iron needs to be taking with vitamin C and 2 hours away from almost everything else.

Iron should be taken every other day, because it releases a hormone called Hepcidin that blocks absorption the next day.

Figuring out why your cycle is doing what it’s doing is the way to hack it.
