When Alaina first reached out, she was drowning in a cycle of worsening PMDD symptoms while juggling work stress and ADHD. What started as occasional "waves of burnout" had escalated into a predictable pattern of debilitating symptoms affecting her for more than half of each cycle. 
 
Her Initial Challenges:
❤️‍🩹 Severe fatigue and brain fog
❤️‍🩹 Overwhelming anxiety and overstimulation
❤️‍🩹 Difficulty concentrating at work
❤️‍🩹 Digestive issues and bloating
❤️‍🩹 Painful cramps and headaches
❤️‍🩹 Emerging depressive episodes with tearfulness
 
"I was noticing that it's not just a few days or a week. This was something where I feel like this is affecting me more than it's not," Alaina shared. "I was watching things get worse, but I was having such a hard time getting traction on my own."
Over four transformative months in our PMDD Rehab & Nutritional Therapy Program, Alaina didn't just manage her symptoms – she reclaimed weeks of her life and discovered new levels of clarity and confidence.
 
Here's What Alaina Says Now:
👉 "I haven't had any totally sad days."
👉 "I'm thinking more clearly."
👉 "My baseline anxiety has definitely improved."
👉 "I'm able to sit with challenging feelings and recruit the skills and tools that I have."
👉 "I'm feeling like I'm able to take action more readily."
 
Alaina's story shows that even when PMDD symptoms are escalating and previous treatments have plateaued, transformation is possible. Through targeted nutritional therapy and structured support, she found relief and developed sustainable strategies for long-term management.
 
Her symptom transformation demonstrates that with proper support, you can:
• Break free from the cycle of worsening symptoms
• Develop clarity and confidence during challenging phases
• Reduce baseline anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• Improve sleep quality and energy levels
• Learn to manage symptoms proactively rather than reactively
• Regain control over your monthly cycle
