Premenstrual depression can affect both sexes, and may be a symptom you could reduce in your home by spending more time together in Nature across the days of each lunar cycle

Serotonin is about more than mood ๐Ÿงก

Our bodies constantly seek information from the local environment and use that information to determine what processes to prioritize and give more energy to.

The circadian hormone serotonin is one of many pathways between the information coming from the local environment (like daylight hours, temperatures, and nutrient availability), with the reproductive system.

Serotonin levels vary across the menstrual cycle, and influence the mood changes associated with PMS.
