You may have stumbled across this article by googling, "Is there a cure for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?"  I'm guessing the search results felt both over- and under-whelming.

Overwhelming due to the amount of conflicting information available. For example, you're probably seeing mixed information in forums about what works and what doesn't.  One peson will post what worked miracles for them and then countless people will comment that they tried it and it did NOTHING.  From reading those comments, perhaps you're realizing that there isn't a single treatment that works for everyone with PMDD. If only it were that simple, right?

Underwhelming because all you're finding are stories of suffering instead of the stories of hope that you were looking for when you started your Google deep dive.  Instead of feeling more hopeful, you're left wondering, "Do I just have to accept my fate?"  Yet perhaps, there's something in you that tells you to keep...

If you’ve been exploring PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) for a while, you’ve probably seen conversations about histamine intolerance being a potential root cause of PMDD or PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation). Understanding the connection between histamine and PMDD can help you make sense of the core issues driving your symptoms. From there, you can arrive at a targeted plan for relief. 

Of course, when you first learn about this connection, it can seem daunting. And because PMDD is such a complex condition, it’s natural to assume it requires a complex solution.

Yet I know firsthand it’s possible to get lasting relief from PMDD. In my case, I went from debilitating symptoms to welcoming my cycle each month.

But I didn’t find relief through one-size-fits-all solutions or super restrictive diets. Using a comprehensive functional medicine approach, I got clear on the unique root causes of my symptoms and restored balance in my body. 

Now my...

How the PMDD Revealed Program Came to Be

3 years ago, I had this crazy idea that I could help people suffering from debilitating mood and menstrual symptoms with a functional medicine and nutrition approach.

At the time, there were very few people in the world doing this. I honestly had the thought, "Maybe...

Do you ever feel too sensitive for the world?

Yep, me too. Let’s talk about it.

I have a history of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and work with people with PMDD every day, all day. I observe time and time again that folks with PMDD are often highly sensitive and highly empathetic. Sometimes they’re also very intuitive and creative.

Some identify as HSPs (highly sensitive person), neurodivergent, or have a diagnosis of ADHD or ASD.

And it’s not just observation on my part. There’s been a lot of buzz on the topic of PMDD, autism, neurodivergence, ADHD, and sensory processing. In my small corner of the Internet, it feels like everyone is talking about this article, which states that PMDD disproportionately affects people with ADHD and autism, at a rate of 46% and 92% respectively. 

The International Association of Premenstrual Disorders put out this statement commenting on the article as well. You can read it here. The consensus? As...
