🔹 About This Episode:
In this empowering episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Carrie Jones, one of the most trusted voices in hormone health, to help women navigate the often-confusing world of perimenopause and menopause. We break down the key tests you actually need (and when to take them), how to distinguish early vs late perimenopause, and the truth about bioidentical hormones. Dr. Jones explains why supporting estrogen metabolism is critical for feeling your best — and how nutrition, liver health, and lifestyle tweaks can transform your midlife experience.
We also dive into the latest innovations in at-home hormone and breast health testing, plus what most women — and even doctors — get wrong about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). From fasting and cardio myths to the importance of strength training, this conversation delivers clarity, science, and actionable steps you can start today. Tune in for a mix of myth-busting insights, practical tools, and empowering strategies to help you take control of your hormone health and thrive through midlife.
