Welcome – March/April 2026

We live in an age where, finally, women’s health is a topic we see being talked about far more openly. There is no doubt the spotlight that has been placed around the menopause has helped this conversation, but female health issues go much further than that, and this includes PMS.

When you consider that PMS is something that can affect up to 90 per cent of the female population, and the huge knock-on effect it can have on a person’s health and wellbeing, it almost beggars’ belief there is not more support and understanding around it. Because the truth is, although you might not stop PMS from occurring, we know that there are so many things that can help ease how severe it is and to provide some relief from symptoms – if only more women were educated around this. What’s important to note is many of these don’t need to be expensive, difficult to access, or rely on dosing up on pharmaceutical medication – many switches can be as simple as adding certain things into your diet, cutting out the poor-quality stuff, and focusing on some important nutrients.

Because of how important we consider female health here at Natural Lifestyle, in this issue, we bring the focus onto PMS, where our natural health experts discuss what can make it worse for some women, and the holistic ways you can find relief from some of these debilitating symptoms – you can read all the guidance on page 16. We hope the advice offers some much-needed support to those experiencing PMS, and if you have any recommendations you want to share with fellow readers, feel free to email me at rachel.symonds@targetpublishing.com

And finally, we wanted to extend our thanks to readers for taking the time to vote in the Natural Lifestyle Product Awards. We run these accolades each year to shine a light on the best brands in natural health, making products that truly make a difference to your health and wellbeing, and we are delighted to reveal the results on page 14 of this issue.
