Ep: 33 PMS: What's Your Body Telling You?
Dec 09, 2025Why does PMS hit so hard some months — and barely show up in others? What’s really happening in your brain, hormones, and cells as you move through your cycle? And how do we stop treating PMS like a flaw… and start understanding it as feedback?
In this solo follow-up episode, Dr. Anthea Todd breaks down the biggest takeaways from her conversation with Dr. Sarah E. Hill (PhD) and turns the science into a simple, practical path forward. You’ll learn why PMS isn’t “just hormones” — it’s a sign your cellular foundation (your “seabed floor”) needs more support, so the natural waves of estrogen and progesterone don’t become a tsunami.
You’ll Hear About:
-
The “waves vs seabed floor” analogy that makes PMS finally make sense
-
How estrogen and progesterone shift across the cycle — and why the “lull” matters
-
Why PMS can signal reduced cellular flexibility (and what that actually means)
-
The hidden ways inflammation, sleep, and stress amplify symptoms
-
The Four Fundamentals™ that stabilise your cycle: nervous system, metabolism, nutrients, blood sugars
-
The 6 daily actions that support all four fundamentals (without overwhelm)
-
A simple rhythm reset: food + sunlight + movement + sleep cues
-
How to tell when you’re surfacing symptoms… versus supporting the root cause
“It’s not the waves you need to fix — it’s what’s underneath them.” — Dr. Anthea Todd
