Decoding PMDD with Britney Marsden: Root Causes, Trauma & the Truth About Your Cycle
Manage episode 489055552 series 2901074
In this powerful episode we sit down with Britney Marsden, also known as "The PMDD Chick," to explore the multifaceted experience of living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Britney opens up about her personal journey with PMDD — from misdiagnosis and confusion to self-advocacy and empowerment. She dives into the many possible root causes of PMDD, including hormonal imbalances, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental factors, emphasizing that PMDD isn’t just “in your head” — it's often the result of complex physiological and psychological interactions. One key theme throughout the conversation is the role of trauma, and how unresolved emotional wounds can manifest or intensify PMDD symptoms. Britney also offers heartfelt and empowering advice to women who are struggling: from finding the right practitioners to the importance of self-compassion, community, and nervous system regulation. Her message is both hopeful and validating, reminding listeners that healing is possible — and that they're not alone.
