Episode 2: Hormones 101: Why Your Brain Is Betraying You
Hormones aren’t just about hot flashes and mood swings. They’re the keys and locks that control almost everything in our bodies. But how do they actually work, and what happens when things feel “off”? In this episode, Jenn asks the questions we’re all wondering (sometimes straight from her group chat), while Dr. Michelle breaks down hormones in plain English, with analogies that actually make sense.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
What hormones really are and how they function in your body
The menstrual cycle explained step-by-step, without the jargon
PMS, PMDD, and why some people struggle more than others
The myth of “balancing” your hormones vs. optimizing them
Why your period isn’t the only marker of perimenopause or menopause
How to track your own data to feel more empowered in your care
This is your crash course in hormones, no thousand dollar influencer program needed.
