Are commonly prescribed PMS treatments safe and effective?
When a woman goes to see her doctor in hopes of getting some relief for her PMS symptoms, the doctor usually pulls out a prescription pad and writes for naproxen sodium (a pain pill), or spironolactone (for water weight and acne), or a birth control pill (which, in my opinion, is the absolute worst treatment for PMS), or Zoloft or Prozac (for depression), or Xanax (for anxiety), and etc.
The drug options appear to be limitless. A major concern, however, is that the prescription drugs commonly prescribed by most doctors for the treatment of PMS are targeting only individual symptoms, rather than treating the root cause for ALL of the symptoms of PMS!
Severe cramping | Bloating |
Breast pain/tenderness | Mood Swings |
Depression | Sleep problems |
Emotional sensitivity | Facial acne |
Fatigue | Lack of energy |
Weight gain | Irritability |
Feelings of anger | Looking and feeling sad |
Headaches | Cravings for sugar |
Cravings for caffeine | Pelvic discomfort |
Lack of motivation | Decreased enjoyment of life |
Relationship problems | Difficulty dealing with stress |
Unable to concentrate | Memory problems |
Rather than reaching your hand out to take that newly written prescription for a birth control pill, try saying to your doctor: “Hold on a minute! Rather than being so quick to just write out a prescription for me, I want to know WHY I’m having all these symptoms. What causes PMS, anyway? Is it my hormones? And, if it is my hormones, won’t the PILL just make things worse as far as my symptoms go? WHY do I even have these symptoms every month!? Is this NORMAL? And, most important, I want to know if it’s possible to GET RID OF IT, rather than just take drugs!?”

Cultivating an Atmosphere of Honesty and Education
In my clinic, patients ask these questions on a regular basis. First of all, a medical provider must know the answers before he/she can answer the questions. Second, answering questions takes time – sometimes a lot of time (and writing a prescription for a drug only takes less than a minute). Finally, and most importantly, going beyond completing only the minimum number of intern hours and courses required for obtaining a medical license takes the kind of individual who has already asked him/herself the right questions and has then worked hard to find the best answers for treating hormonal imbalances and the symptoms of PMS. I am that kind of individual.
As a medical provider, I have diligently searched for answers regarding treatments for hormonal imbalances; and, I have spent countless hours in teaching, counseling and treating patients for the symptoms of PMS. I have the solutions you’re looking for, and I’m willing to spend the time to teach you WHY you’re having symptoms, and WHAT causes PMS. Yes, it is related to your hormones, and I’ll explain exactly what has gone wrong to cause an imbalance in your hormones. No, I definitely won’t ever offer you a birth control pill to treat PMS symptoms, because that usually makes things worse – much worse! You will come to understand that your symptoms are NOT normal, but that YOU ARE NORMAL! And, YES, it is possible to GET RID OF the symptoms of PMS!!
There is absolutely no reason why you should be overly stressed by, or continue to suffer needlessly from monthly PMS symptoms. These symptoms are robbing you of precious time and can be damaging to your health and well-being, and are impacting close relationships with your family, friends and other co-workers and associates.
Medical Credentials
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and have been in private medical practice for the past fifteen years. When I first started working as a Primary Care Provider, many patients would come to me asking for help with hormonally-related symptoms. I wasn’t sure of the best way to help them, since the “Standard of Care” treatments I had learned in school were neither safe for long-term use, nor very effective. In 2002 after the release of hormonally relevant research (the Women’s Health Initiative), I became even more intent on finding natural hormone treatments for the various life-altering symptoms that plagued my patients, both old and young. I held to a solid conviction that the answers I sought would be found by careful scrutiny and application of the medical sciences of endocrinology and physiology. And, indeed, choosing pathophysiology as a framework, I was able to find safe, effective physiologic dosing forms for many key hormones which brought surprisingly profound and significant relief to my patients!
I am first and foremost a mother and grandmother. I understand the importance of families and how the quality of our relationships impacts us in every aspect of our lives. I earned my first college degree in 1977 at BYU — a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Family Relations, English and Asian Studies. As far back as I can remember, I have wanted to be a nurse. So, when my children got a little older, I decided to go back to college and get two additional degrees in Nursing from the U of U — a Bachelor of Science in 1995, and a Master of Science in 1999. I am licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), and am Board Certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Working independently as a Nurse Practitioner, I have successfully treated both men and women for various types of hormonal imbalances. I owe much of my treatment success to the innovative hormone lab testing of Dr. David T. Zava, founder and owner of ZRT Laboratory, as well as to other professionals in this field who have personally shared their knowledge and expertise with me. I also owe my success to my patients – the many patients who came and continue to come to me for on-going monitoring and treatment, and who have been patient with me over the years as I became proficient in this art. Without my patients, I wouldn’t have been given the chance to assess, monitor and treat the myriad of symptoms and maladies that have crossed my threshold. I have enjoyed over and over again the miraculous experience of seeing dramatic changes in my patients’ lives, and have heard repeatedly from gracious recipients: “Thank you for giving me back my life!” I feel that I have been blessed in my efforts, and will be ever grateful for the marvelous opportunity I have been given to help so many people enjoy their lives more fully.
Benefits of natural hormone balancing
So, at this point, I have some questions for you. Do you sometimes wonder why you don’t “feel like yourself” anymore? You used to enjoy having fun, you were spontaneous, had lots of energy, were motivated and had passion for various interests, engaged in creative pursuits, and you were pleasant to be around. Do you wonder where that person went? Would you like to find her again?

Testimonials
Cathy Dudley, West Valley City, UT
“Natural hormone therapy has been a life-saver for me. I am so grateful that I found Kathryn DeSantis at the Weight Loss and Natural Hormone Balancing Clinic. She has worked with me to balance my hormones and I have felt so much better since my treatment began than I had for a long time, not only physically, but emotionally as well. I firmly believe in natural hormone replacement and believe everyone should get their hormones checked regularly. Kathryn is so caring and empathetic to her patients you know she only wants the best treatment for you and does everything possible to get to that right treatment. She will take whatever time it takes during your visit to get to understand how you are feeling. In contrast, I recently went to a regular general practitioner who spent as little time as possible with me. After that visit, I truly was grateful I had someone like Kathryn to help me understand how I am feeling. I shudder to think where I would be without that natural hormone therapy and Kathryn’s very caring approach.”
Sherri R., Washington State
I really like working with Kathryn to keep my hormones balanced. She is very knowledgeable, flexible, and eager to help me. I look and feel younger than I did five years ago.
Debra Bouchard, WVC, Utah
I’ve been on the bioidentical hormones for about 3 years now and I think of them as a fountain of youth. Prior to getting on them, I experienced many premenstrual type symptoms like bloating, insomnia, crying all the time, foggy brain and was probably headed for breast cancer because my hormones were so out of balance. Kathryn DeSantis has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to explaining your hormones and what you need to do to get back on track. It’s not an easy road but the best things in life are seldom easy. I felt immediately better once I got on the natural hormones of DHEA and progesterone and pretty much all my pms symptoms subsided. I work shift work which is really hard on the body and tends to deplete your natural store of hormones and without these hormones I would be a wreck.
I would also like to say that in my 3 years with Kathryn DeSantis, she has given me some extremely good advice on other matters besides hormones–relationship type issues that were giving me problems. She is a very intelligent woman who freely shares the knowledge she possesses with her clients and she will spend a whole hour with you–compare that to your standard doctor who will give you about 15 minutes. There is no compairson and I want everyone to know how happy I am with bioidentical hormones and Kathryn DeSantis.
Peggy Peterson, Salt Lake City, UT
I have been coming to the Weight Loss and Natural Hormone Balancing Clinic and seeing Kathryn for about 9 years now and I highly recommend her. She was able to help balance my hormones and thyroid fairly quickly and it has changed my life. I had been experiencing hot flashes and extreme mood swings and now I am happy again, and while many women I see are fanning themselves, I no longer feel those temperature fluctuations. Bio-identical hormones are amazing. They can make life enjoyable during all the changes one goes through as they age. Kathryn is extremely knowledgeable in testing for any imbalances and prescribing bio-identical hormones and thyroid replacement. In my opinion, it’s the best appointment you’ll ever make.
Jenny Hambleton, Artist, Salt Lake City, UT
I suffered for a long time with hormone balancing problems like PMS and mood swings, and I didn’t really understand what my problems were. When I found you and the natural weight loss and hormone clinic, and after some great dialogue and you really sitting down and listening to my symptoms and educating me about myself so it wasn’t just a one-way road. Then after taking the saliva test, moderately but progressively got my PMS under control. I have felt great ever since.
I highly recommend it. It’s definitely the way I would go prior to doing anything synthetic. There really aren’t any side effects of the natural hormones that I found personally. I didn’t have to take a shot. I could scale it up or down, and it was always being monitored until we were both satisfied where my hormones were.
