Ever been told “it’s just PMS”… when what you’re experiencing feels so much bigger than that? This episode is here to set the record straight. In this episode we unpack PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder); a condition that goes far beyond “bad PMS,” yet is still widely misunderstood and under-diagnosed.

We explore what PMDD actually looks like, why it can have such a profound impact on mood, relationships and daily life, and why the explanation is far more complex than hormones alone. From neuroinflammation and nutrient status to gut health and the role of trauma, this episode dives into the deeper biological and emotional drivers that can shape the PMDD experience.

We also chat practical, holistic strategies that can support those living with PMDD — along with guidance for partners, friends and family who want to better understand what’s really going on.
