Do you ever feel like you turn into a totally different person right before your period, crying over silly things, snapping at people you love, or feeling so low you can’t function? You’re not ‘being dramatic’. There are real chemical and neurological reasons PMS and PMDD hit some women much harder than others.

If your luteal phase brings brain fog, anxiety, impulsive decisions, cravings, or days where you can’t get out of bed, this video will help you understand what’s actually happening in your brain. And more importantly, what you can do to feel better: simple and science-backed tools to get your life back.
