May is Mental Health Awareness month so today I am getting vulnerable with you as we talk about PMDD – Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder – a mental illness I was diagnosed with after 20 years of not knowing what was “wrong” with me. PMDD is a hormone-based mental illness that is an uncommon reaction to normal fluctuating hormones. It is not an imbalance of hormones nor is dictated by hormones, but a miscommunication within the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, that follows the luteal phase of a menstrual cycle – from ovulation until the period starts. Still such a new disorder with research coming out weekly! Only 2-8% of women experience PMDD and out of that percent only 3% of those have heavy and painful periods. I am that 3%.
I share with you my story and the details of what it is like to live as this illness comes around each month. What happens with in my body and also how the view of my world changes pretty much overnight. PMDD affects me two times a month – during ovulation and then again about 5-7 days before my period starts and lasts until my period starts. So between PMDD and a painful period, I get about 10 days a month feeling amazing. However, with lifestyle changes of diet, exercise, sleep, and planning, I have been able to minimize symptoms to live a good, healthy life and I am usually not crippled by its effects.
There is so much information about PMDD that I couldn’t fit it all into this podcast. If you would like to know more check out the site below or you can also drop me a comment below or email me at clarissa@adagiofit.com and I’d love to listen to your questions, comments, or concerns.

This podcast introduces a four part series about the six dimensions of wellness. Most people think that healthy is when they have no signs or symptoms of disease. However, someone with no signs or symptoms of disease may not feel happy and enjoy living to its fullest. Sound familiar? You may be healthy but still have to drag yourself out of bed because you just don’t know what you’re doing in life – feel a numbness. Therefore we need to get to a place that we are growing and educating ourselves to reach a high level of wellness and zest for living because we feel empowered and motivated. This discussion teaches how to get a base line for where you are today in the six dimensions of wellness and then goes over how to make goals for those six areas to move up the spectrum and into optimal living.
The six areas of wellness we will focus on are – physical, occupational, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and spiritual. In the next three podcasts we will discuss each area more in depth to help you figure out which one(s) may need some work so you can move from disease into a fullness of living.
