Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from this episode — and how Fix Your Period can help.

What causes heavy periods?
Heavy periods (menorrhagia) are most commonly driven by estrogen dominance — a relative excess of estrogen compared to progesterone. Contributing factors include impaired liver detoxification (slowing estrogen clearance), gut microbiome disruption (leading to estrogen reabsorption), insulin resistance, and structural issues like fibroids or polyps.
What are uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or on the uterus that affect over 70% of women before menopause. They are estrogen-sensitive — meaning they grow in high-estrogen environments. Common symptoms include heavy, prolonged periods, pelvic pressure, and painful periods.
Can heavy periods improve naturally?
Many women experience significant improvements in heavy bleeding through targeted nutritional, lifestyle, and supplementation interventions — particularly those that address estrogen dominance, liver health, and gut function. However, structural causes like fibroids should always be investigated and monitored with a qualified healthcare provider.
Is there an app to help with heavy periods?
Yes. Fix Your Period tracks the metrics that matter most for heavy periods — flow volume, clotting, cycle length, and pelvic pain. Fix Your Period Premium unlocks Nicole's Heavy & Long Periods protocol, Period Pillars education, and Nicole.AI for personalised support.
Do I still need to see a doctor for heavy periods?
Yes. Heavy periods should always be investigated medically to rule out structural causes like fibroids, polyps, or adenomyosis. Fix Your Period works alongside your medical care to address the hormonal root causes.
