The Neuroscience of Periods & PMS with Dr Emilė Radytė (London)

Back by popular demand - this time, a Saturday morning for coffee, croissants, and connection.

Our last London PMS event sold out, and the conversations were incredible - open, curious, and full of honesty. Everyone said how good it felt to have space to talk about what we all experience but rarely discuss.

This time, we’re meeting on a weekend morning to slow things down a little - learn, chat, and connect over coffee.

If you’d like to receive the virtual recording of the talk after the event, please purchase a ticket to the virtual version.

Up to 90% of people who menstruate experience PMS symptoms, and 80% will experience painful periods at some point in their lifetime. So why do we still know so little about what’s really happening?

Join us for a morning exploring the neuroscience of periods and PMS - a session designed to help you understand what’s going on in your brain and body across the menstrual cycle.

From mood swings and memory fog to cravings, motivation dips, and anxiety spikes - your brain is right in the middle of it all.

Menstrual health is surrounded by misinformation (or just silence), so we’re here to give you the science - clearly, compassionately, and accessibly.

Led by Dr Emilė Radytė, a neuroscientist specializing in hormonal brain health, we’ll explore:

• How your brain and hormones interact throughout the menstrual cycle
• The neural mechanisms behind PMS symptoms - why you feel what you feel
• New and emerging research that’s reshaping how we understand hormonal health
• Debunking myths, providing you facts and information from topics like medical misogyny, period poverty and more
• Evidence-backed tools and lifestyle supports that can help regulate mood, cognition, pain, and more
• How to build a more empowered, science-literate, and self-compassionate relationship with your body and brain
• A chance to connect with others in a safe space
• Q&A where you can ask our expert your questions

Dr Emilė Radytė is a neuroscientist and science communicator whose work focuses on how hormonal changes shape brain function, mood, and behaviour. A Harvard and Oxford graduate, her research has focused on psychiatric applications and neurocognitive markers of response to the treatment of depression using TMS. She is also the co-founder of Samphire Neuroscience, a neurotechnology company on a mission to help those with PMS and period cramps. She is deeply passionate about women's health and creating solutions for those who have been overlooked for too long.
