Relieve PMS \u2013 that\u2019s the goal of Sis and her founding partner Margaux. Together, with their startup Circles<\/a>, they want to help menstruating people have a pain-free and harmonious period. But what actually is premenstrual syndrome (PMS), what are the symptoms of PMS and how can they be eased? In our interview with Sis, we learned not only a lot about her startup, but also about PMS.<\/p>

Can you introduce you and your start up?<\/h3>

Circles<\/a>\u2019 mission is to give women and menstruating people<\/a> to experience harmonious cycles and to alleviate menstruation and hormone related symptoms like PMS, period pains<\/a> or skin problems naturally. The founders are my co-founder, Margaux Aliamus and myself, Sis Timberg.<\/p>

How did you come up with the idea for your start up?<\/h3>

We both have a very long and complex history with menstrual issues<\/a>. After Margaux came off the pill, she had to deal with acne, hair loss, irregular and very painful periods for a long time. I (Sis) have always had very intense pain during my periods<\/a>, I swallowed painkillers so often that they stopped having an effect. After the birth of my daughter, I started having acute PMS symptoms before my periods. It was to the extent that I was basically not myself half the month. <\/p>

We both felt very lonely with our symptoms, we didn\u2019t really get a lot of support from doctors, and besides that not many people really speak openly about this topic. It\u2019s still heavily taboo<\/a>. It eventually became clear to us that it could not go on like this, and we decided to do something about it and create a solution that we\u2019ve been looking for all these years. Through a lot of research and exchange with naturopathy experts, we came to the conclusion that nature has it within itself to solve this problem. Our PMS symptoms actually disappeared, and that was the \u201caha-moment\u201d when we realized, \u201cWow, all women and menstruating people<\/a> should know that there are alternatives to pain<\/a> and hormone issues \u2013 you can relieve PMS symptoms!\u201d That\u2019s how Circles came to be.<\/p>

Why do menstruating people have PMS?<\/h3>

PMS can come from an imbalance of hormones in our body. During your cycle<\/a>, your body goes through hormone fluctuations<\/a>: when experiencing imbalances, this transition doesn\u2019t go as smoothly as it should. In addition, excessive or a deficiency in certain hormones can also trigger symptoms, which as studies show, is something the majority of menstruating people suffers from.<\/p>

How does PMS affect your body?<\/h3>

Altogether there are about 150 different symptoms associated with PMS, like<\/p>
