Balance: Sounds like your friend has made some terrific changes in her life with even more terrific results. Kudos to her! when we make healthy choices like exercising & eating well, it can change our hormone balance. So, less cramps. Other good things too.

Eat better less pain: Eating a plant based diet decreases some of the hormones found in meat and dairy which can affect the period flow and possible hormonal related problems. This way of eating is how we are suppose to eat to live well and prevent the many chronic disease that afflict americans.
