Three-quarters of women report that menstrual symptoms impact their daily performance, yet until recently, no one had looked at the brain's role in these symptoms.

In this eye-opening episode I am joined by Emilé Radyté, PhD—Harvard and Oxford-trained neuroscientist, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and co-founder/CEO of Samphire Neuroscience.

Emilé reveals how a woman's brain during PMS can actually resemble that of someone with depression—with measurable neurological changes that affect mood, decision-making, and pain perception.

She shares the fascinating development of Nettle, a groundbreaking medical device that uses gentle brain stimulation technology to address both the mental and physical symptoms of PMS.

We explore why women's health issues that don't affect fertility or mortality have been historically neglected, despite severely impacting quality of life. Emilé discusses her mission to help women maintain consistency in exercise routines, workplace performance, and emotional well-being throughout their cycles.

Listen now to discover how neuroscience is finally addressing what 76% of women experience monthly but have been told to "just deal with"—and what's next for this pioneering technology.

“Women's brains during PMS look similar to those of depressed patients..” – Emilé Radyté

You’ll hear about:

· How Nettle uses low-current neuromodulation to "train" the brain rather than overwrite it

· The clinical trials showing 97% efficacy rates among real-world users

· The engineering challenges of designing for diverse women's needs and hair types

· The rigorous EU medical device certification process it underwent
