Meet Tonia Jahshan, she's a wife, mom of three, the founder of Sipology, Dragon's Den alumna and our 2024 Run for Women Community Champion!
A few years ago, after a particularly stressful time at work, Tonia began experiencing bouts of anger that were uncharacteristic for her. She lost focus, was quick to ire or cry, and even admitted to being downright mean at times – particularly preceding the onset of her menstrual period.
But when her moods started to affect her relationships at work and at home, Tonia knew it was time to ask for help. She went to her family doctor and was referred to the Women’s Health Concerns Clinic at St. Joe’s. After tracking both her mood and her menstrual cycle for two months, Tonia was diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Today, Tonia takes a prescription medication to help manage her PMDD as she builds an international empire in sip-able products and teas. Stay tuned as she shares her story as the 2024 Community Champion for the Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women supporting Women’s Mental Health and Addictions Care at St. Joe’s – the Hospital that helped her manage living with PMDD.
