What if managing your PMDD symptoms isn't about adding more to your plate—but about removing what's making things worse? In this eye-opening episode, Jes introduces the powerful concept of "healing through subtraction" and reveals how strategically removing certain foods, habits, relationships, and environmental factors can dramatically improve your PMDD symptoms. If you've felt stuck despite trying everything, this fresh perspective on healing might be exactly what you need to finally see real progress.

• Why healing through subtraction is often more powerful than constantly adding new treatments and how this overlooked approach can break through healing plateaus

• The specific dietary subtractions that support hormone balance including alcohol, caffeine, refined carbohydrates, artificial sweeteners, and inflammatory oils—and exactly why each one impacts your PMDD symptoms

• How toxic relationships, obligation clutter, and people-pleasing drain your capacity to manage symptoms and practical ways to create boundaries during your luteal phase

• Environmental and digital factors that overstimulate your nervous system from doom scrolling and news consumption to physical clutter and constant background noise

• A simple framework for deciding what to subtract first by identifying what's actively harming you versus what's just draining your energy

• Why symptom mapping is essential when making subtractions so you can actually see what's working instead of telling yourself "nothing helps"

"Healing through subtraction is not about perfection or deprivation. It's about reclaiming your energy, reclaiming your moods, reclaiming your hormone balance, reclaiming your sense of self."

"PMDD isn't just about what you add. Sometimes the most powerful medicine is removing what doesn't serve you. Your body has incredible capacity to rebalance when given the chance, and subtraction creates space for true healing."

"We're always thinking about what do I need to do? What do I need to add? What needs to change? It's always in the lens of adding more, doing more things, and sometimes that's needed. But healing through subtraction is not discussed enough."

[03:05] - Introduction to healing through subtraction and why this approach is rarely discussed in PMDD treatment

[06:56] - Dietary subtractions: How alcohol disrupts estrogen metabolism and liver detoxification

[08:59] - Why caffeine increases cortisol and disrupts the HPA axis (and how to transition to water-processed decaf)

[11:22] - The impact of highly processed foods on inflammation, gut health, and the estrobolome

[14:43] - Relational and social subtractions: Evaluating toxic relationships and work demands that worsen symptoms

[18:32] - Mental and environmental load: Addressing physical clutter, digital chaos, and obligation overload

[21:03] - The controversial but life-changing decision to subtract news media consumption

[25:05] - Lifestyle subtractions: Over-exercise, sleep disruptors, and the people-pleasing trap

[27:59] - Framework for prioritizing subtractions: What's actively harming you vs. what's draining your energy

• Her Mood Mentor Symptom Mapping Kit - Track your symptoms as you make subtractions to see what's actually working:

• Episode 11: The "I've Tried Everything for PMDD" Mindset - Reframing the damaging belief that nothing helps

• Episode 6: Rest vs. Distraction - Understanding the difference between true rest and doom scrolling

• Her Mood Mentor One-to-One Program - Where values work begins after symptom mapping to align your life with what matters most

When Emily first reached out, she was facing a decade-long struggle with debilitating PMDD symptoms that left her feeling hopeless and disconnected from her life. She described spending half of every month just trying to hold things together, navigating a storm of emotional and physical symptoms that disrupted her relationships, career, and confidence.

Her Initial Challenges:
• Intense mood swings and crying spells
• Debilitating depression and anxiety
• Bloating and tension headaches
• Rejection sensitivity and negative thought spirals
• Rage that led to isolation and emotional shutdown

Over just 4 months in our PMDD Program, Emily didn’t just shorten her symptom window—
she stepped into a version of herself she hadn’t felt in years: clear, calm, and confident. 

Here's What Emily Says Now:
👉 “I’m only having a few days of symptoms instead of 2 weeks.”
👉 “I am capable and feeling more confident.”
👉 “I haven’t had any rage.”
👉 “I’ve been able to show up to my life now that I’m not feeling awful.” 

The numbers tell the story: Emily went from 14 days of moderate-severe symptoms to just 3 days of mild-to-moderate symptoms per cycle—a transformation she once thought was out of reach.

Emily’s story demonstrates that PMDD doesn't have to define your life. Through root-cause healing, personalized support, and real tools for lasting change, she found clarity, control, and confidence.

With the right guidance, you can: 

• Avoid drastic medications or endless trial-and-error
• Heal naturally and holistically
• Break free from the emotional rollercoaster
• Experience consistent, manageable cycles
• Reclaim your energy, relationships, and sense of self

What if your mom rage isn't something to fix, but something to understand? In this powerful conversation with trauma-informed physical therapist and somatic coach Amanda Curry PT, DPT, we explore the hidden gifts beneath anger and rage, why "calming down" isn't always the answer, and how your anger center is directly connected to your personal power. This episode will shift how you think about your emotions and open up possibilities you never imagined.

Meet Amanda:

Amanda Curry is a trauma-informed Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Oncology Specialist, Training Camp for the Soul™ Master Facilitator, Breathwork Facilitator, Inner child and Reparenting Coach 

Amanda has a fierce commitment to supporting those who struggle with feeling they are “ too much” and are tired of living in shame and denial of their true essence.

• Why your anger is actually a communication system and boundary violation alert - not a character flaw

• The three-part "triune" approach to somatic work that addresses your physical, emotional, and spiritual body

• How to start building safety with your emotions through simple noticing and witnessing practices

• Why your anger center is directly connected to your personal power and autonomy

• The difference between regulating emotions and trying to control them

• How societal conditioning keeps women disconnected from their natural emotional range

"Your anger center is directly related to your power center. On the other side or through the expression of your anger, you actually drop the mask or the pattern or the belief, and what you get to access is your personal power and autonomy."

"The goal is for you to be more present and not perfect. If you can be equipped with tools to go from a 10 to a six or an eight to a four, that is doing something."

"Healing PMDD isn't just about managing symptoms, it's about transforming your life. This challenge, as brutal as it can be, is an invitation to know yourself more deeply and live a more joyful purpose filled life."

[00:28:16] - Why we don't feel safe with anger and the cultural conditioning behind it

[00:36:30] - The connection between mom/dad relationships and how we process emotions

[00:45:18] - Understanding anger as data: boundary violations and unmet needs

[00:50:27] - Practical first steps: How to start noticing sensations in your body

[00:54:32] - When to move energy vs. when to just be with it

This isn't your typical pep talk episode, but it's the most important conversation we need to have. Jes and her dad Chris dive deep into the shocking 2022 research linking PMDD to self-harm and suicidal ideation, sharing Jes's personal 17-year journey with undiagnosed PMDD and the precursors that lead women down this devastating path. This raw, honest conversation offers hope and practical insights for breaking the dangerous cycle of silence.

This episode discusses self-harm and suicidal ideation. If you're experiencing active thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or your local emergency services. Your hosts are not clinical counselors and cannot provide crisis intervention.

• The devastating statistics from 2022 research: 72% of PMDD patients experience suicidal thoughts, 49% make plans, and 34% attempt suicide

• The hidden precursors to self-injurious thoughts, including automatic negative thoughts and how they spiral during the luteal phase

• Why isolation and shame fuel the cycle of self-harm, and how breaking the silence can be life-saving

• The various forms of self-sabotage beyond physical harm (running, fighting, disordered eating, perfectionism, risky behaviors)

• How trauma and nervous system dysregulation connect to PMDD and self-harm patterns

• The importance of communicating with your support system about what's really happening in your mind

"PMDD awareness is suicide prevention - I'm not hyping this up here. This is reality."

"You cannot think 'I'm worthless' 25 times in one minute... for 14 days and not end up with self-injurious thoughts and behaviors."

"Healing PMDD isn't just about managing symptoms, it's about transforming your life. This challenge, as brutal as it can be, is an invitation to know yourself more deeply."

Episode Highlights:

[00:06:36] - The shocking 2022 BMC Psychiatry study statistics that shook the PMDD world

[00:18:59] - How automatic negative thoughts create a spiral leading to self-harm

[00:27:20] - The various forms of self-sabotage women don't recognize as self-harm

[00:45:48] - Dad's perspective on learning about Jes's 17 years of hidden struggle

[00:56:22] - How breaking the silence transformed their relationship and Jes's life

• BMC Psychiatry 2022 study: "Prevalence of Lifetime Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors in a Global Sample of 599 Patients Reporting Prospectively Confirmed Diagnosis with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder" -https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12888-022-03851-0

When Carly first reached out, she was facing relentless PMDD symptoms that were disrupting her daily life, marriage, and mental health. She had been battling these symptoms since the age of 16—18 years of monthly chaos that consumed most of her cycle.

For nearly two decades, Carly was spending 21 days each month dealing with overwhelming emotional and physical symptoms that stole her energy, peace, and joy.

Her Initial Challenges:
• Crushing depression
• Hopelessness and anxiety
• Intense rage
• Restless legs and insomnia
• Severe bloating and hormonal acne
• Suicidal ideation
• Poor sleep and extreme emotional dysregulation

Over just a few months in our PMDD Program, Carly's symptom burden decreased by 223 points, from 444 to 221. She didn’t just survive her luteal phase—she reclaimed her life, her confidence, and her calm. 

Here's What Carly Says Now:
👉 “I’m not filled with rage in luteal.”
👉 “I didn’t have any suicidal ideation.”
👉 “I feel better than I ever did on antidepressants.”
👉 “Our house has a happier energy.”
👉 “I cannot believe I’m having symptom-free cycles without medication.” 

Carly went from 21 days of moderate-severe symptoms each cycle to zero severe symptoms recorded in her fourth symptom map—a complete transformation without medication. 

Carly’s story demonstrates that PMDD doesn't have to rule your life. Through an individualized, root-cause approach, she found lasting relief and emotional freedom.

Her transformation proves that with proper support, you can: 

• Avoid relying solely on SSRIs or birth control
• Improve naturally and sustainably
• Regain your emotional balance and joy
• Experience consistent symptom-free cycles
• Take back control over your body, mind, and life

After seven years of working with PMDD clients, Jess shares a profound mindset shift that happened during a recent consultation call. She explores why so many women seek PMDD healing to help their loved ones rather than themselves—and why this motivation is actually a beautiful gift rather than something to be frustrated about. This episode reveals how changing our thinking patterns can transform our entire perspective and offers hope for your own healing journey.

• Why seeking healing for others isn't a sign of low self-worth—it's actually beautiful

• How thought patterns can shift naturally as you heal, without "muscling" them into place

• The difference between physical and psychological PMDD symptoms and how they affect identity

• Why celebrating small shifts and progress is crucial for rewiring your brain • Real-life examples of how PMDD healing transforms women's lives in unexpected ways

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." - Shakespeare

"What a beautiful thing that you love someone so much that you care so much about someone else that you are willing to do whatever it takes."

"The psychological symptoms can get integrated into your sense of being a lot deeper for a lot longer before you build the awareness and understanding to take action to change it."

• Tame Your Inner Critic Workbook (mentioned as a tool for changing thought patterns)

• PMDD Pep Talk episode on suicidal ideation and PMDD- coming soon

• Shakespeare's quote: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"

This episode came from a real-time shift I experienced while working with a client—one of those beautiful moments where the work I do with others reflected back and healed something in me.

Your love for others can be the catalyst that transforms your life, and there's nothing wrong with that.

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:

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:

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

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.
