Field Report: I Tested Internet Advice for Surviving PMS

Luteal phase, PMS, hormone hacks, mood swings — do internet remedies actually work?

This week’s field report: I tested some of the internet’s favourite luteal phase advice.

Some of the advice helped. Some of it involved heavily salted vegetables and blind optimism.

Here’s the honest verdict.
