Casey Batchelor Talks PMS, PMDD & Hormone Balance for Women

takeaways

1. Casey Batchelor describes how her hormonal symptoms — fatigue, mood swings, agitation, heavy periods and new ovulation cramps — worsened after having each of her three children.

2. She recounts being diagnosed with adenomyosis via a private internal scan, and the very heavy bleeding she experienced that limited her ability to leave the house, noting doctors offered her the pill or a hysterectomy.

3. The conversation covers how PMS, PMDD and hormonal changes remain under-discussed, with both speakers sharing frustration that doctors offered antidepressants (an SSRI two weeks on, two weeks off) without asking about lifestyle, stress or hormone testing.

4. Casey explains how she created her supplement '222 Balance Me' with scientists over a year, using 12 botanical ingredients including saffron, magnesium, ashwagandha, lemon balm and blue passionflower.

5. Both discuss the wider hormone picture beyond diet and exercise — stress management and sleep — plus movement as therapy, cycle syncing, and adapting exercise to how your body feels each day.

6. Casey talks about post-pregnancy body changes such as weight gain, loose skin and diastasis recti, public scrutiny, and reframing 'bouncing back' around mental health rather than appearance.
