Katie's PMDD Journey

For almost 2 decades, Katie battled the relentless cycle of PMDD—navigating severe depression, crippling anxiety, and devastating suicidal ideation. As a scientist, she meticulously tracked her symptoms, discovering that half of each month was spent in debilitating darkness. Despite her background in holistic nutrition, traditional treatments failed, leaving her feeling hopeless and isolated.

In this episode, Jes sits down with Katie, a PMDD Rehab and menstrual health coaching client, to share her transformation. From skepticism to success, Katie's story reveals how small changes created a powerful domino effect that reclaimed her life in just three months. She opens up about the darkest moments, her scientific approach to healing, and how the simplest daily practices created the most profound shifts.

Episode Highlights:

  • The emotional journey of living with undiagnosed PMDD since high school
  • Why conventional treatments and self-tracking weren't enough
  • The surprising "little things" that created massive change
  • Transforming relationships and rediscovering joy in everyday life
  • Learning to live without the fear of planning around symptoms
  • If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of suffering, Katie's journey proves healing is possible. Tune in for a raw, emotional conversation about breaking free from PMDD and discovering the power that was within her all along. This scientific skeptic's transformation from bedridden to thriving will inspire you to trust the process and embrace hope.
