PMS Symptoms Explained—And How to Feel Better

What Is PMS and How Can You Fix It?

If you’ve ever felt like your mood, motivation, or energy completely changes before your period, you’re not imagining it. Nearly 90% of women experience PMS, yet most of us are told it’s just “part of being a woman.” The truth? PMS is not random, and it’s not in your head, it’s your hormones and your brain working together in ways we were never taught.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really going on in the luteal phase, why some of us experience intense symptoms while others don’t, and the science behind how your hormones impact your brain, emotions, and even your relationships.

Guest Spotlight:

Dr. Sarah E. Hill is an award-winning research psychologist with over 100 scientific publications and two books to her name, including her newest release, The Period Brain. Her groundbreaking research has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, and The Economist, and she’s been a guest on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Diary of a CEO.

Dr. Hill is one of the leading voices in women’s hormone research, translating the science of our biology into practical tools for living, leading, and thriving. She currently runs her research lab in the Department of Psychology at TCU and serves on the scientific advisory boards for companies like 28 Wellness and Flo Health.
