Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/10/06

You can spend years holding everything together with anxiety, urgency, perfectionism, or sheer willpower, then hit perimenopause and suddenly feel like your brain stopped cooperating. Trouble focusing, emotional overwhelm, forgetfulness, procrastination, and feeling like you have completely lost your ability to multitask can all overlap with ADHD, which is exactly why so many women start asking questions in midlife. In this episode of Hello Hormones, Dr. Jolene Brighten and I break down the

2026/09/29

You can be told your labs are "normal" while still dealing with fatigue, hair loss, weight changes, brain fog, or feeling like something is clearly off. Sometimes the bigger issue is that the right markers were never tested in the first place, or that falling inside a wide reference range does not tell the whole story. In this episode of Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones, Dr. Tiffany Lester and I break down the biomarkers women should know before and during perimenopause, including ferritin,

You can have "normal" thyroid labs and still feel exhausted, foggy, stuck with weight changes, or like something is clearly off. That is where a deeper look at thyroid function can start to change the conversation. In this episode of Hello Hormones with Dr. Saadia Mian, we break down what TSH may be missing, why free T3 can matter so much for how you feel, and how thyroid health connects with metabolism in midlife. Dr. Saadia Mian is a board-certified endocrinologist with more than 20 years of

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/09/18

Progesterone can be one of those hormones you do not think much about until your period gets heavier, PMS suddenly feels louder, you are waking up at 3 a.m., and your anxiety seems to have developed a personality of its own. Then you start wondering, "Wait, could low progesterone actually explain some of this?" Especially in your late 30s and 40s, the answer may be yes. Here's where things get interesting. You make most of your progesterone after you ovulate, which means progesterone can start

81: 7 Things Perimenopause Has Personally Taught Me

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/09/15

Perimenopause can be especially confusing when your symptoms look nothing like the hot flashes and night sweats you were told to expect. Suddenly you are waking up at 4:30 a.m., forgetting words you have known forever, smelling things nobody else smells, or dealing with heart palpitations and wondering what on earth your body is doing. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I am sharing seven things going through perimenopause has taught me firsthand. We talk about the weird symptoms nobody warns you

2026/09/08

Testosterone still gets treated like the hormone women only need to think about when their sex drive disappears. But when women start talking about lower energy, slower workout recovery, brain fog, mood changes, or feeling like their body is responding differently than it used to, testosterone may deserve a closer look. And once testosterone therapy enters the conversation, another question comes up quickly: What is the best way to actually take it? That is where my conversation with Angelina gets

79: 7 Signs You May Be in Late-Stage Perimenopause

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/09/04

Perimenopause has a way of making you wonder where you are in the process and how much longer this hormonal roller coaster plans to keep going. Your period disappears for two months, comes back like nothing happened, your joints suddenly hurt, your brain feels foggy, and now you are waking up sweaty at 3 a.m. wondering if you have officially entered a new stage. Here's where things get interesting. Late-stage perimenopause actually has a research definition, and one of the biggest clues is going 60

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/09/01

One thing I hear all the time from women is, "I tried the patch," or "I tried the cream," followed by some version of: It didn't work for me. Maybe they did not feel better. Maybe they had side effects. Maybe their symptoms improved at first and then came right back. But does one delivery method not working mean hormone therapy itself is off the table? That is what made this conversation with Lexi Yoo so important. She has spent years treating women with hormone therapy using pellets, injections,

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/08/25

One thing I hear all the time from women in perimenopause is how confusing weight loss can suddenly become. They try the diet everyone online is swearing by. The scale does not move. They tighten things up. Still nothing. And somehow the advice keeps coming back to the same thing: eat less. But how long can "eat less" be the answer before we start asking a better question? That is what made this conversation with Dr. Bill Campbell so interesting to me. He is studying women who already exercise and

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/08/21

Perimenopause has a funny way of making your supplement cabinet grow overnight. Magnesium for sleep. Something for hair. Vitamin D for bones. A multivitamin because you are trying to cover your bases. Maybe another bottle for energy, digestion, or whatever new symptom decided to join the party this month. And I get it. When your hormones are changing and your body suddenly feels different, supplements can be incredibly helpful. But the bottle marketed to "women 50+" is not automatically the one I

2026/08/18

Headaches, brain fog, fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, poor concentration, sinus problems, and feeling worse in certain buildings can easily be blamed on stress, hormones, or perimenopause. But mold exposure can create many of the same symptoms, which makes it difficult to know what your body is actually reacting to. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I am talking with Jason Earle about the signs that your home or workplace may have a moisture and air-quality problem, why a musty smell matters even when

2026/08/11

Most women are taught to associate testosterone with libido and muscle. So when they begin feeling depressed, anxious, emotionally flat, unmotivated, forgetful, or unlike themselves, testosterone may never enter the conversation. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I am talking with Dr. Terri DeNeui about why this hormone has a much bigger role in women's health than most of us were taught. We get into the relationship between testosterone and mood, what Dr. DeNeui found during her doctoral research

Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones ·

2026/08/07

Only a small percentage of women use hormone therapy during perimenopause and menopause. Some cannot take it, some do not want it, and others simply want additional support alongside it. But when someone says she wants to manage menopause "naturally," what does that actually mean, and which options are genuinely worth considering? For this episode of Hello Hormones, I searched through thousands of women's comments, messages, and conversations to find the strategies they repeatedly said made a

2026/08/04

Hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, irregular cycles, and lower stress tolerance can make women over 40 feel like their hormones changed overnight. That is often when the search for a "natural" solution begins, but herbs are not commonly used to replace the estrogen and progesterone declining during perimenopause and menopause. So what can they actually do? In this solo Q&A, I am answering the questions midlife women keep asking. Are there herbs that may help with low-estrogen symptoms and hot

Have you ever heard that women in other countries do not struggle with menopause the way women in North America do? Or that menopause is somehow easier in certain cultures because women do not talk about it as much? In this episode of Hello Hormones, I'm talking with Zora Benhamou about what women around the world are actually saying when someone finally asks them. We get into why menopause is global, but the way women experience it, talk about it, and get support can look very different depending

Have you been thinking about estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or cortisol, but still feel like something is missing? Maybe you feel anxious, disconnected, burned out, emotionally flat, in pain, stuck in food noise, struggling with libido, or like your body cannot fully shift out of fight-or-flight even when you are doing so many of the "right" things. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I'm breaking down why oxytocin is a hormone we may be completely sleeping on, especially for women over 40

If you have been eating well, moving your body, doing what you were told, and your belly fat still will not budge, this episode is going to explain why. So many women hit their 40s and suddenly feel like their body changed the rules. The same foods, workouts, and routines that used to work no longer feel like enough, and the advice to eat less or work harder only leaves them more frustrated.

If you have been doing "all the right things" for your hormones and still do not feel better, this episode is for you. Maybe you tried a detox, added supplements, cleaned up your diet, worked on your gut, or followed the protocol that helped your friend. Not knowing that if your body is depleted, inflamed, or not ready for that next step, doing more can actually keep you stuck.

Have you hit midlife and suddenly everything feels dry, itchy, or irritated in places that make no sense? Your inner ears itch. Your shins itch. Your scalp itches. Your eyes feel dry and scratchy. Your back has that one spot you cannot reach. Even your private areas may feel itchy when there is no obvious infection, rash, or clear reason why. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I'm breaking down why this may not be solved by more lotion, more water, or another steroid cream. As estradiol and

If you are in perimenopause wondering why you suddenly cannot handle the same life, stress, schedule, or people you used to manage, this episode will give you a completely different way to look at your symptoms. We are taught to blame every hot flash, rage spiral, night sweat, brain fog moment, and 2 a.m. wake-up on hormones alone, but Chinese medicine sees those symptoms as messages about the body's resilience, adaptability, and ability to move through change.
