Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a very severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It causes a range of physical and emotional symptoms in the week or two before the start of a period, usually during the luteal phase and can severely affect the quality of life of affected women. PMDD can also coexist with a number of psychiatric disorders where there is extreme sensitivity to the hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle.

It is therefore important to offer a comprehensive evaluation to uncover the root drivers of this condition. Join Nutri Advanced in welcoming Dr Ghazala Aziz-Scott, Clinical Lead Doctor at the Marion Gluck Clinic which provides expertise in integrative women’s health, bioidentical hormone balance and Functional Medicine. 

The functional approach lends well to the complexity of women presenting with PMS and PMDD. This is a condition that is poorly understood and often treated with a sticking plaster approach such as the pill or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues to block ovulation. However, the underlying aetiology is complex and involves: 

- genetic susceptibility

- low levels of luteal phase progesterone impacting GABA receptors in the brain

- low Oestrogen and serotonin levels

- structural and functional differences in the brain

- HPA axis dysregulation that has been impacted by chronic stress and trauma.

Dr Aziz-Scott often uses testing to offer a comprehensive assessment of hormone balance across the cycle including the relationship of oestrogen to progesterone. This helps uncover the root cause and the reasons for hormonal imbalance such as oestrogen dominance, low progesterone and adrenal dysregulation.

Dr Aziz-Scott will show how a personalised treatment plan adopts a holistic approach looking at lifestyle factors, nutrition, stressors, gut health and how this can fit in with the use of appropriate BHRT. Ghazala will also present some interesting cases that have been successfully treated using this approach. 

The Marion Gluck Clinic is a pioneering bioidentical hormone clinic that offers integrative women’s health and functional medicine. Our Specialist Pharmacy is the UK’s largest compounding pharmacy producing personalised medication for hormone related conditions enabling more effective treatment choices.

On Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th May at the Cork International Airport Hotel, the Chiropractic Association of Ireland will be holding their annual conference.  We'll be attending on Sunday 28th, so it will be a great opportunity to come and see us, and find out about our products and services.

Regenerus Labs and Psychiatry Redefined will be hosting a two day conference in June, with talks from internationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. James Greenblatt, MD, amongst others.  We'll also be attending, so it will be a great chance for you to find out what we have to offer you, as a practitioner.

Achieving hormonal balance is a goal for most women. However, although they diligently follow the same 'healthy' diet and lifestyle plan as others, some women don't get the same results. This can be disheartening at best and at worst can impact health through every life stage.

Understanding the roles that genes play in oestrogen and progesterone metabolism can help find the root causes of hormonal issues and develop personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans to empower clients to achieve their health goals.
