 My name is Chelsea Knudsen. I am a certified holistic health coach and I coach women on how to heal naturally from female related issues. Also I have missed you all tremendously. I guess I didn't realize it really but I've had some sound issues and I didn't even know I had sound issues because on every other platform that I use when I do videos people seem to be able to hear me but for some reason you all weren't able to hear me and I hope that you can hear me now. If you can hear me please just say I can hear you. I am using a microphone this time so hopefully you can hear me. Please let me know. But today I want to talk to you briefly about what is PMDD. It stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Thank you Jasmine. Okay I'm glad to hear that. All right so um but before before I get started I want to remind you if you haven't already thank you. Thank you Gaila. All right um if you haven't already signed up for your free coaching session please do. There's a link in the description box. Sign up for that. It's 30 minutes long. I think that the people that have been able to coach with me have gotten something out of it. I know there's only so much we could talk about in 30 minutes but it's something. Also if you haven't joined the foods to avoid uh Facebook group join it because I'm talking all about the foods to avoid and teaching you how to recognize those foods because it's pretty sneaky the things that they put in foods these days. Um so but that's all the um thank you Maria. So that's all that I want to talk to you about as far as updates. Oh you know what somebody well not somebody but many people have been asking me for recipes. So I have a juice recipe book that is going to be coming out I think it's February 1st that is going to be dedicated to female health issues. So look out for that coming up if you haven't already gotten on my um email list get on my email list and you'll be able to have access to that. But I want to talk to you about PMDD and I have a friend that suffered greatly with PMDD. I mean it it literally ruined relationships um she was miserable um it affected her in raising her child it destroyed it helped destroy her marriage I mean it was terrible but PMDD is a severe form of PMS and it includes physical and behavior symptoms that usually resolve resolve once your period actually comes on and starts like once you start bleeding all the symptoms kind of go away. But some of the symptoms of PMDD are extreme sadness hopelessness irritability anger plus all of the other common PMS symptoms that people get such as like breast tenderness and and bloating and cramps and all kinds of things which I in fact I don't think any of that is normal. So you know I told you about my friend and really what PMDD in my opinion is is a hormonal imbalance and it usually hormonal imbalances come from the things we think the things we eat and drink the lifestyle we live the things we put on our bodies the um activities that we participate it all affects our bodies. So we have to learn how to get ourselves in balance learn how to eat well learn how to live well learn how to detoxify our bodies so that we don't have excess estrogen swimming around in our bodies causing our hormones to be all out of whack. So PMDD can be cured the the medical establishment I believe there are medications that they do give my friend said that she was on like 30 different prescriptions and nothing helped her and she went to you know doctors and you know all kinds of things and the only way she got well you want to hear it is by eating a whole foods plant-based diet um eating primarily raw and detoxing her body that's how she got well and this is exactly what I teach people to do every day to shrink fibroids to uh get rid of those heavy menstrual cycles to clear out those block tubes to heal up that endometriosis and all the myriad of diseases that come from hormonal imbalance this is what I teach people to do. So if you have questions you can start asking me I'm more than happy to answer your questions today but I'm actually I'm so happy to be here and you actually be able to hear me that I don't know what to do with myself but um so if you have questions go ahead and ask but that's really all I was going to say about the PMDD it's very simple it's kind of like you change your lifestyle you will get the healing that you're looking for the problem is with changing your lifestyle it's not always easy to change your lifestyle it's hard to walk through the journey because we are so used to eating the traditional standard American diet and it's not easy to make those changes it's just not so do you have questions that you want to ask me today also if we are on here I mean if you watch this video later and you have questions please put the questions down in the comment section I will answer every question that I see within like at least a week of you posting the question I try to go in at least once or twice a week and answer questions when I have time but also if there are video topics that you want to know about please feel free to let me know of that um yes oh and I'm having a um wide deep talks webinar soon the link is not in the video now at the time of recording this live video but I will put it in later today so if you're watching this video later and you want to go and be a part of that webinar all you have to do is go in the description box below and sign up and you can be a part of the webinar so if you have questions go ahead and ask me if you don't have questions I'll go ahead and leave it until later and um ask questions below later and we'll talk again soon I'll be back on next week at noon eastern standard time I'm talking about another subject that is um female health related I pray that all of you are healed okay I got a question I am vegan from time to time and enjoy king while usually by the organic in in the freezer section oh great what kind of issues do you struggle with that you're trying to heal from I noticed you said you were vegan from time to time but I heard the microwave is bad for you you know the microwave you know I think that's the least of our worries I think the thing that's worse is the hormonal food um but yeah if you can get away from the microwave it'd be great but like I don't think that's what causes female issues I really yeah I don't I don't think it's that big a deal I mean that's just my personal opinion you might talk to the person down the street and they're like throw the microwave in the trash but for the types of foods that I eat um I'll answer that question about I IBS and in a second that the foods that I eat they rarely go in the microwave anyway so if I put something in the microwave I don't think it's going to be that big a deal okay you had a question about IBS you know I realized that the doctors say that you shouldn't eat raw vegetables on when you have IBS and I understand where they're coming from so I do have recommendations for those types of people for people so struggling with that thing so that they can get their digestive tract in order um but if I were you if you want some more specific information about that sign up for a free coaching session so I can get a little bit more information from you because um everybody's not created equal but the key is is if you have IBS you've got malabsorption issues and you need some nutrients so we have to make sure that you get your nutrients in your body and normally that happens through raw foods or foods that are minimally cooked um try drinking juices like fresh pressed vegetable juices and drinking smoothies but it really depends on what's going on in your body so sign up for a free coaching session and we can talk um more about that anybody else have any questions
