87. PMDD Root Causes Part 2: Serotonin Dysregulation

We're continuing on with our PMDD Root Causes series, and today we're chatting about serotonin dysregulation.  This episode has so much overlap to last week's episode, where we talked about how the GABA-A receptors misfire during the luteal phase.  The main issue again here is sensitivity: the receptors not responding well to a normal hormone, or in this case, neurotransmitter. I talk about the physiology behind it, but take a deep dive into: 1) nervous system regulation, specifically helping you assess why you're doing what you're doing, and 2) gut health & nutrition, about how this is the foundation for emotional regulation and feeling in control of your thoughts and emotions every cycle. Hope you enjoy the episode! Lauren ---------------------------------------- Next Steps:   Get the GABA Healing Guide: A 7-step framework for helping to heal the GABA-A receptor.
