Episode 32: Why We PMS & How To Fix It

Why do we experience PMS? What’s really happening in our brains, hormones, and cells? And how can we stop seeing it as a flaw — and start understanding it as feedback?

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Anthea Todd and Dr. Sarah Hill unpack the fascinating science behind PMS and hormonal health. From evolutionary biology to brain chemistry, they explore how stress, sleep, and inflammation shape the way we experience our cycle — and why supporting your body’s “seafloor” (your cellular foundation) is key to thriving through hormonal shifts.

You’ll Hear About:

• The difference between “common” PMS and healthy hormonal patterns
  
• How your brain and hormones shift between estrogen and progesterone phases
  
• Why you feel more emotional or vigilant in the luteal phase
  
• How synthetic hormones affect mood and metabolism
  
• Endometriosis, PMDD, and what’s really driving them
  
• The “ocean floor” analogy for stabilising your cycle
  
• Practical tools for supporting natural hormone balance
  
  

“Rather than questioning the advice we’ve been given, we’ve learned to distrust our bodies. It’s time to change that.” — Dr. Sarah E. Hill
