Your PMDD Tough Day Toolbox with Victoria Schoeffel

Learn how the Belle app is so much more than a symptom tracker and how it can help you to not only get some relief from PMDD in the short term, but also build resistance over time.Victoria Schoeffel is the CEO and Co-founder at Belle Health. Victoria was inspired to " change the status quo in female health" after identifying a gap in support for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. While she was at the University of Cambridge, Victoria and her co-founder and Belle Health CTO, Rafael Schaider, combined her personal experience living with PMDD, and her degrees in psychology and medicine, with Rafael's engineering background to help people living with PMDD get tailored, evidence-based and proven guidance to help manage the luteal phase. In this conversation, Victoria shares her own personal experiences with PMDD and how she came across a study of internet based cognitive behavioral therapy that became the starting point, or the inspiration, for the Belle Health app. I have tried the app for myself and there's so much good stuff in there. I love the SOS feature that helps you quickly find the right tool by selecting the symptom that's bothering you in the moment. There's also a self-paced course that goes deeper into these strategies and exercises. You can generate a symptom report to take to your doctor if you're trying to get a diagnosis. And Belle Health is now coming out with a Belle Smart Ring, which is going to use your physiological data to give you better and more specific recommendations tailored to your individual needs, and I'm really excited for that to come out.So please enjoy my chat with Victoria Schoeffel.#PMDD #stress #PMS #ADHD #autism #mindfulnessConnect with me!DM me on Instagram @mindfulnessforpmddFREE Meditations for PMDD for You from Me!
