PMDD Redeemed | Emotional Regulation, Cycle Syncing, Monthly Cycle Hormones, Christian Women, Hormone Imbalance – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Hey friends! This week I'm so excited to introduce to you my guest on the show, Danika Vanderpyl! Danika is Certified in Holistic Nutrition, and shares all the goodness she knows about what foods, minerals and vitamins your body needs in every every phase of your menstrual cycle. 

As women, we're not linear, robotic creatures that require one thing to fuel us all month long. Throughout each of the phases, our bodies need different things- different movement, self/ soul-care, socializing, nutrition. And this is exactly what Danika and I chat about in this episode. 

The best part of it? In our conversation, she breaks it all down into more simple and bite-size strategies so you're not feeling extra overwhelmed. Because, really friend, you don't need more overwhelm than what you're already experiencing! 

I'd highly encourage you to grab a notebook and pen and take notes! Also, don't forget to come into my Facebook group to grab the notes and snack recipes Danika shares in this episode!

Danika Vanderpyl is Certified in Holistic Nutrition with a passion for helping women making eating simple, energizing, and healthy. After facing her own digestive challenges, Danika transformed her favorite recipes into nutrient dense, low-sugar alternatives to heal her body.

Hey friend! Have you been here before? You've traveled way too far down the self-criticism train, and now you are the worst person ever, everyone hates you and you're a failure. Suddenly all you can do is lay on the floor in a puddle of tears, or you're in fetal position on the shower floor.

Oof, yup, been there. 

In this episode, I'm sharing 3 questions you need to be asking yourself when it comes to the all-consuming nature of self-criticism and self-hatred. It can be so easy for our thoughts to take over and for us to just get pulled along with our thoughts. But this is not what God wants for us, nor what he speaks over us.

Have a listen & I pray the next time self-criticism starts rearing it's ugly head, you can ask yourself these 3 questions.

Hey friend! This week on the podcast I have another guest, Melanie Bourbeau! We talked about the link between gut health and our mood and just how this can be exacerbating premenstrual symptoms. Also, wish I could take credit for the great pun in the title, but AI wins again... :D

Tell me if you can relate. Your fingers suddenly look like sausages. The pants that fit perfect last week are feeling real tight. You wonder why you look 5 months pregnant.

Friend, I've been there! And truth be told, it's not always comfortable or pleasant.

This week on PMS Made Peaceful, we're chatting about water retention, weight gain, swelling & bloating.

This is the fourth episode and symptom in the PMS Symptom Series! 

The first week we talked about anxiety, irritability, mood swings & nervous tension.

The second was cravings, increased appetite, headaches & fatigue.

The third was depression, feelings of hopelessness, decreased interest and low energy.

I dig into what is causing these symptoms during your premenstrual phase. I think you might just be a bit surprised at what the reasons are! Who knows?! Maybe it'll be the little tidbit of information you need to start making some changes in your life and cycle to start ditching these symptoms!

Grab a notebook, a pen and let's jump into this last symptom in the PMS Symptom Series!

Feeling hopeless. Asking what's the point of me even being here? Feeling alone & wondering if anyone loves you. No energy or desire to do anything.

Can you relate to any of these premenstrual symptoms? They all fall under the category of depression. This week on PMS Made Peaceful, we're talking about what is going on in our bodies biologically and on a hormonal level when it comes to symptoms of depression. 

But just like anxiety and cravings, the biological often leads to psychological symptoms. Listen in this week and get some insights of where and how to start when it comes to working through these specific symptoms. It's truly not just a physical battle, but also a spiritual one! So, this episode is coming from a very holistic perspective! 

Have a listen & I really pray it blesses you!

We're moving right along with our PMS Symptom Series, and this week on the show we're talking cravings! 

It's a big one that a lot of women struggle with when it comes to their premenstrual phase & during menstruation.

There's tons of biology behind it, but also a lot of PSYCHOLOGY, especially from a women's health & wellness perspective. I'm sharing the causes, but also what we can do about it. Also getting raaaaw about where I'm at with the good ol' cravings! :D

You're at that point of feeling so overwhelmed, so caught up in your head, and it feels like you have no idea how you’re going to make it through the next hour, let alone the next week or two. It feels like nothing is certain in this moment; you forget what supports you have in your life, what you’re good at, who loves you. Your thoughts, feelings, emotions feel out of control, like someone has just hijacked your body, your brain. You’re in survival mode.

After struggling for years with anxiety and intrusive thoughts during my premenstrual phase, these grounding techniques were some of the initial tools I used to get out of the mental tornado. 

What I really want for you is to feel more grounded and centered, and not be rocked around by the wind and waves of premenstrual anxiety. These 5 practices will help ground you to the present moment, and help move you past the internal chaos and confusion.

I hope they bless you!

Lauren
