Recommended Reading: The Cycle Book
Join IAPMD, Laura Federico, and Morgan Miller, in Part 2 of this supportive, practical workshop designed to help you decode your body’s patterns. We will explore how tracking your cycle can provide powerful insight into the hormonal shifts and emotional fluctuations that impact your well-being. We will get specific about ways to track PMDD symptoms to best evaluate your chosen treatment options and gain clarity.
You’ll learn to identify key biomarkers, understand the phases of your cycle, and discover how charting can become a tool for self-advocacy when navigating systems of care (and educating providers about your PMDD). We highlight how tracking can help pinpoint when the hormonal shift occurs which would indicate to you the start of PMDD symptoms in that cycle, giving you a longer runway to plan for support and care for your wellbeing.

Binge Eating and Hormones: What's the Connection?
Binge Eating and Hormones: What's the Connection?
We invite you to join Dr. Klump as she shares key findings from her research to help us better understand how hormonal changes may impact eating behaviors.
In this session, you'll learn:
How fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone throughout the menstrual cycle may increase the risk of binge eating for some people.
Why the mid-luteal phase (the time after ovulation and before your period) may be the most vulnerable point in the cycle.
How genetics may help explain why some individuals are more affected than others.
Dr. Kelly L. Klump is an MSU Foundation Endowed Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on understanding how genetics and hormones, especially changes across the menstrual cycle, can increase the risk for eating disorders like binge eating. She uses both twin studies and animal models to explore how these biological factors impact people differently over time. Dr. Klump has published more than 300 scientific papers and leads several federally funded research projects in this area.

We will explore how the hormonal cycle interacts with mood, sexuality, and emotions, and how shame, stigma, and dismissal may contribute to undue distress. We will explore practical pathways to body literacy, de-pathologize hormonal shifts, and co-create safe and affirming spaces for you to reconnect with your body on your own terms.

The Brenda Webinars - PMDD And The Partner
Living with PMDD can be incredibly challenging, not just for the individual but for their partner as well. This event, which will be co-chaired by Aaron Kinghorn (from Hope PMDD) and Chandra Skye (www.strollingskye.com) will explore the struggles faced by couples when one partner has PMDD and offer guidance on how to navigate these difficulties together.
PMDD can create significant strain in relationships, from mood swings and emotional volatility to physical symptoms that can disrupt daily life. We’ll dive into the difficulties that partners may face, including feeling helpless, confused, or unsure how to support their loved one during episodes. We’ll explore the emotional toll on both partners, the challenges of communication, and how to maintain intimacy and understanding despite the chaos.
Through real-life experiences, hearing from both a partner (Aaron) and patients (Nichole and Chandra) participants will gain practical strategies for coping with the emotional ups and downs of PMDD, strengthening their bond, and maintaining a healthy, supportive relationship.
