For some reason, their brain responds really well to this pulsatile treatment.

And it's a game changer for these patients.

PMDD patients, you do want to make sure they don't have a chronic underlying anxiety depressive disorder.

So I always refer them to a psychiatrist.

But you can absolutely treat it.

For perimenopausal women, you can also treat them with hormone replacement.

So someone in her 40s, I want to make sure if she didn't have it and suddenly she has...

It's not like she hasn't had PMDD and suddenly she has PMDD.

It's probably it could be perimenopause.

So you don't want to miss that.

I 100% say yes.

A lot of us are eating, you know, like if you're waking in the morning and having bread and pasta for lunch, and then you're having ice cream, and then you have rice and, I don't know, pizza for dinner.

Of course, it'll start that process.

Diet is extremely important.

One thing I try to stay away from is limiting these patients.

or telling a 22-year-old you are not to have any carbohydrates.

That's not sustainable.

What I believe is if you fix their underlying condition and address their insulin resistance and help them exercise and have healthy habits,

you can fix these symptoms.

Just cutting carbohydrates out.
