Amy Wright is a passionate advocate for women’s health and a voice for those suffering in silence with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). After years of battling debilitating symptoms—ranging from extreme mood swings to physical symptoms —Amy was repeatedly dismissed and misdiagnosed by medical professionals. Despite being told it was “just PMS,” she knew something wasn’t right.

For half of every month, Amy didn’t even recognise herself—something would switch inside her, altering her thoughts, emotions, and sense of self in ways that felt terrifying and isolating. 

Gaslit by GPs, Amy refused to be ignored any longer and took matters into her own hands. Her journey toward a diagnosis was filled with frustration, resilience, and eventually empowerment. In this episode, Amy opens up about the moment she found the strength to speak up, challenge the system, and demand real answers. She shares how a holistic approach to healing—focusing on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and emotional wellbeing—ultimately offered her more relief and balance than the pills doctors had once hastily prescribed.

Amy’s story is one of courage, self-advocacy, and hope—a must-listen for anyone navigating complex health challenges and seeking validation, support, and a more empowered path to healing.
