Why it was rough:
1. PMDD symptoms hit earlier than expected
2. Period arrived 4 days early
3. More PMDD symptoms after her period
4. Sinus infection
5. Celebrating two birthdays
6. A poor night's sleep

Things that help in tough times:
1. Recognize it could be PMDD symptoms flaring up
2. Write factual things down... I did this. I didn't do this. (Example: I took a shower. I stayed in bed.)
3. Write feelings but don't dwell on the negative or dark.
4. Make conscious choices.  If research is needed, only research for a SHORT amount of time. (Example: Heidi looked up if she could take Sudafed while taking fluoxetine.)
5. Keep committments and DON'T add more at this time.
6. Ask for help (Heidi asked her daughter to decorate her son's cake.)
7. Rest
8. Exercise

Redefining Dementia Person Centred Universe Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia. When consuming resources or media about dementia, the focus is often on the challenges, stigma and fear that may accompany a diagnosis of dementia. This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories,resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways. Living Well Clinical Nutrition Podcast Dr. Aaron Chapa We started our practice with the intent to find the underlying cause of every diagnosable disease in the US. We found that if you love the idea of having control over your health through good choices, you will begin to love the idea of making good choices. Have you ever watched TV and heard a drug ad and said to yourself, “that drug might be good for me?” If that thought has entered your mind or been vocalized over your lips, you are experiencing some symptom pattern you were not genetically born with.
