Period at 9yrs old... severe anger/mood swings at 12, depression at 13, panic attacks and anxiety at 20. At 28 I was diagnosed with PMDD and told there was nothing I could do except get my uterus removed. I'm 36 now and FINALLY found a doctor to help with my PMDD. I've lost 27yrs of life because of doctors brushing it off and telling me to take motrin or get out more.

Allah SWT gave us so many plants and herbd to help heal ourselves and regular MD's just don't know most of the time. They get barely any training on nutrition.

Marwa, this was amazing!!!! I have recently been diagnosed with a hormone imbalance, after seeing 3 doctors, two of which said it was "just pms" and hormones couldn't be read. My FSH and LH levels are all over the place, and I have a treatment plan. I'm also now working with my body and learning to understand it more. I'm incorporating more vegetables into my body, probiotics, and ensuring I get enough sleep! Thank you for this talk though, it highlighted just how sensitive your hormones can be to other parts of your body and it's not just always a psychological problem.

We need more detailed hormone tests available in healthcare!

Thank you Dr Azab! I needed to hear this. My gynecological problems have been dismissed for over a year and I finally changed providers because it was getting worse. Thank you!

Michelle N , locate a nutritionist. The one I knew charged only $40 per visit. Food based supplements were more.

Everyone should watch this.

What is talked about in that video can "save" my life. I'm right now living like my 240th week of hormonal waves/pain/depression/intense fatigue/loss of way too much blood/insomnia. I often think, I'll never have a normal life, I'll never be able to build myself, and to build steady relationships, etc. However learning how your body and mind works and being kind to yourself and trying to have the healthiest lifestyle as possible, and being transparent about it with the people around you so that they can understand & support you is truly the key. Thank you for this video !

Just realizing I have to completely restructure my month, plans and life around my cycle and embrace them fully during each phase. The link to the seasons of the year and the moon are also going to be eye opening. Thank you for you work and passion, courage and voice.

I was diagnosed with PMDD as well just over a year ago. I’m grateful I leaned about it in my twenties, and not later. But as I started to learn about it, it became so clear how little hormonal disorders like this have been studied. So many people suffer from this; it’s mind boggling!

Very good talk, this information needs to be heard. Many doctors don't take the issue of women having hormone imbalance and other related PMS issues seriously. Thank you for bringing this topic to light, we women intuitively know when somethings isn't right, we need to hold our health care providers to a higher standard to find a holistic solution, and not just prescribe a pill that may or may not solve the multi-layered issues that we are dealing with. It is about doctors (who are predominantly men) taking the time to truly listen to us to carefully and compassionately.

Carmen LeMon same. I've been suffering for years and years but because I don't have visible endometriosis the multiple gynos I have seen just say I have bad periods and there's nothing to do but try different birth controls. I've been on half a dozen different birth controls, gotten an iud, taken intense narcotic painkillera and take zofran for constant nausea at least 1 week out of the month but not even that really puts a dent in my suffering. I'm currently on dat 3 of not being able to leave my apartment because of the "period pain" that my dr continues to shrug off as just a normal thing that I'll just have to learn to deal with. It took until 9 pm today to even feel well enough to drive to the pharmacy to pick up medication and I just got home and immediately threw up after trying my best not to vomit from the nausea and headache while driving..If only this was actually taken seriously..

Wonderful talk. Almost all women can feel hormone effects. The time has come for proper research and health care. For a full education on hormones I highly recommend Menopause Barbie Taylor (a gynecologist) who has put together a wonderful education that all women deserve. I was shocked to discover the health risk to women when these hormones leave our bodies. Which they will for all of us eventually. There is so much you can do with the right education and care to live a great long life x. Enjoy 💛

This is so True!!

Wonderful talk! I am on a journey to health doing a lot of research on the connection between trauma and chronic illness. The bodymind connection has been essential in my understanding of what has gone wrong in my systems. No allopathic doctor has had any clue how to help me. It's sad, but as a social scientist I also find it fascinating.
