Wellness Women Radio The Wellness Couch

The functions of the female body have always been shroud in mysteries, and often myths and misconceptions. As our understanding of our own anatomy and physiology evolves we still have such big questions such as why do women go through menopause? Why do we have periods unlike other mammals? What’s the function of the female orgasm? Why are we in the midst of a fertility crisis? On this episode of Wellness Women Radio we answer these questions with Evolutionary Biologist, author and teacher, Dr Deena Emera PhD.

We need to talk about PMDD! Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is like PMS on steroids, it is a constellation of mood, behaviour, and very severe physical symptoms that occurs in a strong cyclical pattern after ovulation. PMDD involves changes to hormone patterns, neurotransmitters as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis which then creates the hell that women can experience for half of their menstrual cycle. We’ve seen a really dramatic increase in the number of women being diagnosed with PMDD lately and we want to arm you with all the information and some practical steps to address this!
