15. Rachael's PMDD Story and Symptom Transformation


Listen Later

Rachael sought help in November 2024 with a significant symptom burden of 440 points on her assessment. For over two years following the birth of her second son, she had been experiencing:

  •  Intense anger and rage
  •  Severe mood swings
  •  Depression
  •  Symptoms lasting 10-14 days each cycle
  •  

    These symptoms were profoundly affecting her relationships with her husband and parents, as well as impairing her ability to parent effectively.

     

    By early March 2025, Rachael's follow-up assessment showed remarkable improvement:

    •  Final symptom burden: 193 points
    •  Total reduction: 247 points
    •  Reduced symptoms in severity and duration
    •  Duration: Approximately 4 months of support
    •  

      Rachael expressed the profound impact of the program on her life:

      •  "I don't hate myself anymore."
      •  "I feel happy and hopeful and so much less doom and dread."
      •  "I'm not scared to go out in my luteal phase."
      •  "I was surviving before and now I'm enjoying my life, my kids, my marriage and myself.”
      •  

        These statements reflect not just symptom reduction but a fundamental shift in her self-perception, emotional well-being, and ability to engage with the world—particularly during what was previously her most challenging time of the month.

         

        Rachael's case demonstrates the life-changing potential of addressing cyclical mood and emotional disorders with comprehensive and personalized protocols.
