  • UPDATED WEEKLY

This podcast is for women longing for hope and healing in the midst of PMDD. It focuses on helping you remember the truth and character of God and who you are in him when every cell in your body and mind is telling you to do otherwise. It's about find our hope, strength and anchoring in Jesus through this thorn in the flesh called PMDD, while also seeking to alleviate suffering by aligning our lifestyle practices with how God designed and created our bodies. This isn't a "I'm cured! Do exactly what I did". It's a "let's walk through this together, here's what I've found helpful along the way". If we haven't met, I'm Lauren Collins, the host of this podcast! I've been a registered nurse for over a decade, and my passion ever since being diagnosed with PMDD has been to help women on their own journeys. I'm also a mama, follower of Jesus, lover of lavender and farmer's markets, and yes, someone who has dealt with PMDD since I was 16.  My goal with this podcast is to ultimately point you to Christ as the one who walks with you through your PMDD struggles, and to stick with him whether you find healing or you continue to struggle your whole life this side of heaven. I will bring evidence-based research to you regarding PMDD, provide encouragement through Scripture and prayer and have guests who will also cheer you on.  So glad you're here.

    98. Nutrition For PMDD: Where To Begin

    For the month of March, nutrition is what we’re talking about! If you’ve ever wondered where to start with food and what you’re putting into your body when it comes to helping manage your PMDD symptoms, I’m sharing it all here on this episode! What I’m talking about are the core foundations for helping regulate blood sugar and reduce inflammation. These are a great (and essential!) place to start. This is really getting to the heart of what we're putting into our bodies every day, every meal. And this matters. Because before the supplements, before the deep hormone protocols, before trying one more “quick fix,” your body needs stability. It needs steady fuel. It needs nourishment that supports your nervous system, your hormones, and your brain. When blood sugar is constantly spiking and crashing, it can magnify anxiety, irritability, rage, and hopelessness. When inflammation is high, symptoms often feel louder and heavier. So in this episode, we’re going back to basics. Simple shifts. Practical changes. The kind that create a foundation you can actually build on. If you’ve been wondering where the heck to begin, listen in. Next Steps: Get The Luteal Prep Guide: The Luteal Prep Guide helps Christian women with PMDD prepare for the hardest phase of their cycle by combining practical physiology with grounded, biblical truth. It walks you through supporting your hormones and nervous system while anchoring your mind in Scripture, so you’re not just surviving the luteal phase, but approaching it with wisdom, intention, and faith.

    96. Aren't Women With PMDD Just Under Demonic Influence?

    Have you ever questioned whether your PMDD symptoms are spiritual attacks, or something darker, rather than something happening in your body?   Have you thought: if I just believed harder, prayed more and was a better Christian, I wouldn't be dealing with all of this?   If these thoughts and more have come up, you're not alone. Women with PMDD who are also Christians deal with these doubts and questions every cycle, making it harder and harder to understand whether this is purely physical or spiritual.   What if it was both? In today's episode, I tackle this hard topic of whether PMDD is just women coming under demonic influence, or something else.   As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic! I hope this episode blesses you as well!   Lauren .

    95. Be Angry and Do Not Sin… But What If I Do?- With Elizabeth Andreyevskiy

    Anger is one of those big PMDD symptoms that we don't love talking about. It feels uncontrollable, like you're being taken over by something. And then when it's all said and done, the shame and guilt are just as all-consuming. In this guest interview episode with Elizabeth Andreyevskiy, an anger coach for Christian moms, we dive deep into what is going on below the surface when it comes to anger, rage, extreme irritability.  This episode might bring out the "oh, I've been there" in you, but more importantly, Elizabeth helps you walk to the feet of Jesus where grace and gentleness live. Remember: nothing can separate you from Christ's love: not even your anger. - Lauren Join the mentorship: https://stan.store/pmddwithlauren Get my fave spotify playlist when PMDD is loud: https://stan.store/pmddwithlauren ......

    94. My Anger as a Christian Mom: The Story I Didn’t Want to Tell

    "Working on my anger/ rage/ extreme irritability". Maybe not the most popular new year's resolution, but not any less important. This is such a loaded topic, and as the title of this episode explains, a story I never thought I would share or wanted to share. It's that place of pain in my heart that feels too vulnerable, too exposed, and yet, here it is.  In this episode, I'm sharing my own story with anger relating to premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and how it wasn't so apparent until after I had my daughter. Then the sin was more exposed than ever. But with exposure comes freedom. If you're caught right in the middle of dealing with anger, rage or intense irritability, just no you're not alone and there is hope. When we can start being honest with ourselves, that's when the healing can begin. Hope you are blessed by this episode.

    93. What Foundation Will Hold During PMDD?

    For years, my theological foundation was pretty sandy, crumbly and wasn't holding when the PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) storm was hitting. The despair, the doubts, the fears and anxieties would pile up and I would just keep spiraling down. Then I started working on the foundation that I was building my values, beliefs and  convictions on, the theology that would sustain me even through the monthly hormonal sensitivity storms: aka PMDD.  In this episode, we're asking the question: what is your foundation? Are you building your life on strong and sound theological doctrine, or doubts, deconstruction and skepticism of God's character?  Answering this question will make a huge difference in how the luteal phase of your cycle goes each month.

    91. Navigating PMDD Through A Biblical Lens

    How do you view your struggle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)?  Do you see it through the lens of Scripture — or as something happening to you without purpose or hope? Are you interpreting your symptoms through God’s truth — or through fear, frustration, and discouragement? Do you believe God can bring clarity, healing, and renewal here — or have you quietly stopped expecting anything to change? Some hard questions to grapple with, but so important for your journey through PMDD. In this episode, we’re looking at PMDD through a truly biblical lens. We talk about what it actually looks like to bring your symptoms, your emotions, and your monthly patterns to the Lord… and how to stop seeing PMDD as something that just “happens to you” and start seeing it through truth, clarity, and Scripture. This is a grounding, honest, Christ-centered reframing of what you walk through every month — and I think it’s going to breathe some hope into places that have felt heavy for a long time. Let’s walk through this together. Lauren . Next Steps: Join the PMDD Mentorship Hub!
