After 17 years of battling an undiagnosed and misdiagnosed hormonal mood disorder (PMDD), Jes Hagan developed and mastered a carousel of skills and tools to navigate her way towards hormone harmony and away from monthly debilitating “hell weeks”. In this episode she explains what is actually happening to our bodies during each phase of our cycle, what PMDD is, and how we can advocate for ourselves and navigate the healthcare system if we're experiencing "hell weeks" each month.

| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |

| 1:46.9 | on it and we're like, what the fuck is going on? Today I am speaking with Jess Hagan and she is the |
| 1:53.5 | mastermind. I'm such in a Taylor Swift. Like, why did I just think of the word mastermind? |
