It's wild.\"\n\n\nWhat happens when the thing that's protecting you is also the thing hiding the truth from you? Ellisha sits down with content creator and PMDD advocate Jessie Hallett for an honest, funny, and at times raw conversation covering sobriety, a five-and-a-half stone transformation, and the PMDD symptoms that only surfaced once her hormonal coil was removed after thirteen years.\n\nWhat We Cover\n\n\nJessie went sober on 17th November 2022 after years of alcohol dependency, and describes her sobriety as the achievement she's proudest of.\n\nShe'd been on hormonal contraception since age 16 and had gone over a decade without a period - meaning her PMDD symptoms only emerged once the coil was removed in April 2025.\n\nWorking holistically with a functional wellness practitioner, Jessie has managed her PMDD without pharmaceutical medication, focusing on gut health, genetic testing, sleep, strength training, and reducing her toxic load.\n\nShe opens up about recent surgery, body image after major weight loss, and how she's rebuilding her relationship with her body.\n\nJessie shares how she and her partner navigate PMDD together, including how something as simple as tracking her cycle together has changed how supported she feels.\nOur Sponsor\n\nEvelyn Health is dedicated to helping those struggling with PMS and PMDD through expert-led, science-backed supplements and functional foods. Having used them for over a year to manage my own hormonal health, I’m so proud to have them as a partner.\n\nGet 20% off your first order with code HOTLINE20 at evelynhealth.com\n\nShop Evelyn Health\n\nConnect with Jessie Hallett\nInstagram: @jessiehallettt\nTik Tok: @jessiehallettt\n\nTimestamps\n\n00:00 – Welcome back and catching up with Jessie\n\n04:00 – How Jessie's PMDD journey began\n\n08:00 – Thirteen years on the coil — and what it was hiding\n\n16:00 – Living with PMDD in a relationship\n\n21:00 – The brain-hormone connection people don't talk about enough\n...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/lPk3ICO79wNq0iJHgObQZZOsRpZyoNUh-NOR2XsCUt0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNWIz/MTkzM2IxYTNhY2Ji/MDdiMWYzYzkzNDNi/YjgzNy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
