In this week’s episode, Amanda and Veronica are joined by Naturopathic Doctor and founder of the Limitless Woman PMS Relief Protocol, Dr. Caitlin Shea, to talk everything PMS and PMDD. Dr. Shea explains all the details around Premenstrual Syndrome and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, walking Veronica and Amanda through the hormones that control our cycles, and how these can cause PMS or PMDD. They discuss her Protocol, how PMDD is diagnosed, and ways those suffering from PMS or PMDD can take back their hormones and emotions through naturopathic ways alongside western medicine. Dr. Shea explains the four phases of the menstrual cycle and how hormones can impact how we feel, physically and mentally, during each phase. The three talk about naturopathic medicine and what to expect when you first go see one, ways to incorporate movement at different times of your cycle (a conversation Amanda and Veronica are going to continue with a special future guest), what the deal is with acupuncture, and some of the ways the foods we eat – even seeds! – can help us with our menstrual cycles. Veronica and Amanda have Dr. Shea play a health version of f*ck, marry, kill, and Dr. Shea sheds some professional light on whether you should cut out trigger foods or not.
