When I was first diagnosed with PMDD, I tried everything. I went to multiple doctors. I played "medication Russian Roulette", randomly trying different types of birth control and antidepressants. Plus, I felt like I was on the mental health equivalent of the Bachelorette, speed dating therapists searching for the right fit.
DeliveryRank chats with Mandy Rother, a functional registered dietitian and PMDD Warrior dedicated to helping menstruators achieve peaceful periods and balanced moods. With a comprehensive holistic approach, Mandy empowers individuals to live out their purpose all month long. Drawing from her own journey, Mandy went from rock-bottom to embracing her cycle with open arms. Now, she combines her data-driven process and trauma-informed approach with compassionate coaching to help others do the same.

Many of the clients that come to us have literally tried it all.
They’ve often been to multiple doctors, been in therapy for years, have tried dozens of supplements and diets, and have even...
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...
To help thousands of menstruators free themselves from the debilitating mood and menstrual symptoms so that that they can live out their purpose.
Correction: We actually didn't pause to celebrate back in August. We kept on forging ahead... to keep evolving, researching, and refining our methods to continue helping more people... better and faster. So now, in the New Year, we're taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far we've come and where we're going next.
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...
Mandy Rother joins Diane de Jesus on the Mindfulness for PMDD podcast.
Before we dive into this episode, we have to share a little bit about how Diane and Mandy know each other. Diane was a client of Mandy's inside the PMDD Revealed program. After achieving immense relief during their work together, she has since gone on to start her own podcst to support others with PMDD.
We call that the "Ripple Effect". When our clients are no longer losing days of their life every month suffering from PMDD, they can live out their purpose and make an impact on the world by giving back to their communities.
That's exactly what Diane did when she launched her podcast. And she even returned to the PMDD Revealed program as a guest mindfulness teacher to give back to her peers.
Here's a snapshot of Diane's story:
"I have experienced a 98% decrease in symptoms after 3 months of working together. Mandy provided...
Chances are, you’ve already calculated the percentage of your life that you lose to PMDD.
But what you may not know is that almost every single person I talk to who experiences PMDD also suffers from what I call “Post-menstrual Hustle Syndrome.”
What’s that, you ask? It’s a term I made up because after losing so many days, you likely do the following as a result:
Oof. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
But I promise you there’s a different way.

What others are saying about the episode:
That podcast episode fell into my lap the other day and I honestly have NEVER been filled with such a hope about my future living with PMDD - for me AND my family. I felt at once seen, validated, excited, and overwhelmingly hopeful...something I haven't felt, in regards to PMDD, well...ever!
