Episode Summary

PMS and Mood Swings have long been mocked by society as “part of being a woman” but let me tell you something right now -It’s not – it’s actually a hormonal imbalance and it can be supported. In this episode I brought in Courtney Mayszak, RDN, LDN, Co Founder and Chief Product office of Delune, to talk about the science behind PMS.

We chat about understanding hormonal fluctuations, communicating with your body, the connection between your brain chemicals and your hormones, how estrogen and progesterone affect mood, why PMS happens and what we can do about it!
