Do I Have to Live with PMS?
PMS and PMDD can turn the second half of the cycle into a time of very real physical and emotional symptoms—bloating, fatigue, and mood changes that can feel like “I want to bite the heads off little baby birds”! This podcast helps normalize those experiences by explaining the biology behind PMS and PMDD and why it can feel so intense. Most importantly, it focuses on practical, evidence-based ways to feel better—from lifestyle and nutrition strategies to supplements and medications that can genuinely help. Through memorable stories from the exam room and his own family, Dr. Steven Adashek reflects on the lessons that shaped his approach to parenting and medicine.
