Welcome Ginny Noce, the Women's Health RN with a masters in nutrition science & functional medicine, to The Hormone Genius Podcast. In Ginny's own words from a blog she wrote below, here is why Ginny became passionate about helping women balance their hormones! If her story speaks to you then you will NOT want to miss this episode. Ginny is a genius, really. She has an incredible amount of practical wisdom to share and free information that you can start implementing in your health journey today. It all started with a desire to: – Lose a little weight – Clear up my skin – Have regular bowel movements Back in high school, I was breaking out regularly, trying to lose ten pounds, and relying on laxatives just to go to the bathroom. That's what led me down the rabbit hole of conventional medicine, where I experienced things like: -Appointments with a gastroenterologist who told me to eat more Cheerios and take Miralax daily – Being prescribed birth control by my PCP for acne – Eating 1,200 calories a day and running 1–2 miles daily to drop weight And honestly, those things kind of worked. Yes, I lost weight—but my digestive issues got worse. My skin was only clear as long as I stayed on the pill. And overall, I just felt awful. So I stopped birth control cold turkey. That's when everything fell apart. My face broke out into full-blown, inflamed cystic acne. My cycles never regulated themselves. And I was still dependent on Miralax just to go to the bathroom. After two more years of struggling, I was finally diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and given three options: – Go back on birth control – Start spironolactone – Try a keto diet I was overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn't want to go back on medication, and I certainly didn't want to keep treating symptoms without getting to the root. I thought to myself, There has to be a better way. And it turns out—there was. That's when I discovered food as medicine. I won't get into every diet or supplement I experimented with, but from the start, I focused on real, whole foods. Slowly but surely, my symptoms began to improve. That progress ignited my deep, burning passion for nutrition and women's health. Some major turning points from there: – Reading Dr. Jolene Brighten's Beyond the Pill Learning about cycle charting through FEMM—and eventually working for them as the lead nurse in their endocrinology and fertility telehealth clinic, where I also became a certified Fertility Awareness Instructor. Diving deeper into functional medicine and root cause approaches, which led me to earn my Master's Degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition from the University of Western States After years of struggling and researching endlessly, I can now say: – My skin is 99% clear, with only the occasional breakout – My digestion is solid—I haven't dealt with constipation or bloating in over two years – My cycles are regulated, my PCOS is in remission, and I was able to conceive naturally—twice (I now have 2 girls ages 4 & 1.5) Link to where you can find guides & applications to work with my team. https://www.instagram.com/thewomenshealthrn/ Get a ton of Ginny's Freebie Hormonal Health Guides here! https://thewomenshealthrn.myflodesk.com/freebie ✨MASTERING YOUR HORMONAL HEALTH

Do you feel like your PMS is “on steroids”? Maybe it shows up with intense mood swings or what feels like “period flu” every month. If so, you could be dealing with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)—a condition that affects 5–8% of women, yet is often brushed off by conventional doctors.PMDD symptoms can be incredibly disruptive, especially if you're also struggling with histamine intolerance. In fact, there's a growing connection between PMDD and histamine issues—something that can be even more dysregulating for neurodivergent women.To unpack this and explore natural PMDD treatments and relief strategies, I'm joined by Dr. Jolene Brighten—renowned hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal. With her background in naturopathic endocrinology and passion for root-cause healing, Dr. Brighten is here to help you better understand your hormones and take back control of your health.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Jolene Brighten - http://www.drbrighten.com/- Book: Is This Normal? by Dr. Jolene Brighten - https://amzn.to/3gNiHIB- Beat Histamine Intolerance Masterclass - https://bit.ly/hist-intol-MC - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer's method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Today, we're tackling a topic that impacts so many women: how to come off birth control without increasing anxiety. This episode is inspired by my own journey and the many questions I've been receiving. We'll cover questions like: Is the pill making my anxiety worse? Should you taper off birth control gradually like you would with SSRIs? Why do so many symptoms appear after stopping the pill? Is going on the pill a good idea for managing mood and anxiety, as some doctors suggest? And if you've recently stopped a progesterone-only pill to return to a natural cycle, how can you support your body while it adjusts? If you're considering transitioning off birth control or just want to understand how it can impact your mental health, this episode is for you! If you're interested in charting your cycle, check out Justisse: Chart Your Cycle.

Today, I interviewed Dr. Jolene Brighten, asking her all of your hormonal questions, including if you should take hormone replacement therapy, how to prepare for menopause, how to tell when you're in perimenopause, what blood sugar has to do with your hormones, and so much more. Listen to the podcast and check out Dr. Brighten's latest book, Is This Normal: Judgement-Free Straight Talk About Your Body. Hormone replacement therapy is becoming increasingly common. The conversations are so familiar it feels like if you're not on hormone replacement therapy, you might be doing something wrong. It's the same for all other hormones. Everywhere you look, someone else is telling you they're a problem, making you assume you have a problem, even if you don't.  I'd even argue that hormones are one of the most wrongfully villainized body processes today. But that's a story for another day. The reality is that we encounter a lot of chatter about hormones. Nearly all of it is negative, making you believe that you probably have some hormonal problem, even if you don't.  I know all too well it's easy to fall into this predicament. Not long ago, I found myself questioning if my hormones were the problem and perhaps I needed some form of external therapy to fix it.  Listen to today's episode to learn more: https://thelivingwell.com/331.   Listen To The Rest Of The Health School Episodes: https://thelivingwell.com/health-school   Don't forget to track where your energy level using: This FREE energy quiz to determine your metabolic output.

Everybody's normal is different, and just because something is common doesn't mean it's normal.As health practitioners, people often ask us whether what they're experiencing is normal. Without an understanding of your body and what is normal for you, it's easy to be misled by all the misinformation out there, especially when it comes to women's bodies. So, where do you go to find the tools to empower yourself?Most states in the United States do not teach medically accurate sex education. Outside of the school system, people turn to social media and the stories and experiences of family and friends. None of these routes tend to give you the insight you need into your specific body and health needs and leave most people in a place of uncertainty.That's why today's guest, Dr. Jolene Brighten, was inspired to write her book, “Is This Normal?” a non-judgmental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms, and building the sexual desire you crave.
