Hey friends, welcome back to the Flow State Podcast!

This episode is a special one, not just because it’s PMDD Awareness Month, but because we’re joined again by someone you’ve probably heard and loved before: functional dietitian and PMDD advocate, Mandy Rother.

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a mountain of supplements, wondering why nothing’s working… or feeling overwhelmed by all the advice out there on how to manage PMDD. This episode is for you. It’s part myth-busting, part deep-dive, and all heart. ❤️

Monica and Mandy talk candidly about:

Why not all supplements are created equal (and how to know the difference)
How PMDD symptoms are tied to much more than hormones
The role of nutrition, rest, rhythms, and deeper purpose in the healing journey
What it really takes to see sustainable change
Plus: the behind-the-scenes story of Marea’s PMS Elixir — how it was created, tested, and continues to evolve

And many more!

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing symptoms for years, or supporting someone with PMDD, you’ll walk away from this conversation with clarity, compassion, and a few “a-ha!” moments.

💡 Bonus: Mandy shares 4 major reasons why supplements might not be working for you and what to do instead.

We’d love to keep this Q&A style going, so if you’ve got questions we didn’t get to, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you - always.
