In this episode, I'm excited to sit down with hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones as we dive into the journey through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause—the stages that so many women experience yet often feel unprepared for. We're shedding light on the symptoms that commonly get overlooked, why they're missed, and why understanding these changes is essential for both your current well-being and your future health. Whether you're just starting perimenopause, currently in menopause, or navigating post-menopause, this episode is packed with insights to help you take charge of your health at every stage. Dr. Jones and I are here to remind you that each phase is an opportunity to make choices that support your body and mind. So tune in, take notes, and get ready to embrace this journey with confidence. Let's make each stage of life as healthy and fulfilling as possible! Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is a transitional period marked by fluctuating hormone levels, potentially starting as early as a woman's 30s, which often leads to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors can significantly impact the onset and severity of menopausal symptoms, highlighting the importance of detoxification and lifestyle changes. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) emerges as a valuable option for many, with the potential to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, while also impacting heart health and bone density. The integrative approach, combining hormone therapy with lifestyle interventions—like diet, exercise, and stress management—offers a promising strategy for enhancing healthspan and longevity in women. Monitoring hormonal changes through tests like FSH levels and a focus on dietary diversity can aid in managing symptoms more effectively during menopause.   More of  Dr. Carrie Jones: Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH, MSCP, is a globally renowned expert in women's health and hormones, with over 20 years of experience as a speaker, consultant, author, and educator.

Night sweats, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, irregular cycles…these are all symptoms of perimenopause.As you probably know by now, perimenopause is the hormonal transition period leading to menopause. Typically, this starts in a woman's late 30s, continues through your 40s, and even into your early 50s – basically until you hit menopause. If you're in this transition and noticing some extremely frustrating perimenopause symptoms, you're not alone!Unlike different periods of a woman's hormonal journey, most women feel clueless about perimenopause and what changes to expect, especially around hormone replacement therapy.I'm hoping that today's episode will give you clarity about what's going on during perimenopause, so you don't feel so out of sorts AND share with you new options to help you get perimenopause symptom release.Joining me to talk about all things perimenopause (plus discussing whether hormone replacement therapy is safe) is Dr. Carrie Jones.Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on the topic of women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry.Dubbed the “Queen of Hormones,” Dr. Jones is a Naturopathic Physician who did her 2-year residency focused on women's health and endocrinology.

Hormone shifts and changes are inevitable for us as women. Aren't we lucky?! In all seriousness– I know you've felt these changes in your body.  Take your menstrual cycle, for example. One moment estrogen and testosterone rally together, and you feel on top of the world right before ovulation. Then, just a couple of weeks later, progesterone and estrogen plummet to the ground, and it can feel like everything in your body is working against you.  And then there's how your body feels when on hormonal birth control– which we'll discuss today. Or even during the long 10+ year perimenopause transition when everything is up in the air. Perimenopause is undoubtedly the most significant hormonal transition right after the ultramarathon that is pregnancy. And I would argue that perimenopause is the critical window that shapes our future health outcomes.  The truth is, how you take care of your body during the perimenopause transition can determine how you thrive for the rest of your life. So today, I invited Dr. Carrie Jones to share her insights on the new research concerning women after perimenopause, and what tools are at our disposal to set us up for success so we can extend our longevity.  We'll also discuss the new FDA-cleared, over-the-counter mini pill called the Opill– which is about to hit drugstores. We want you to understand all the options, concerns, and risks around an over-the-counter pill.  And lastly, we talk about how improving your metabolic health is the biggest lever you can pull if you want a healthy, thriving body and life– before, during, and after perimenopause. Although your body's changing a lot– even in menopause– there are adjustments you can easily make to reduce the symptoms you're dealing with. And that first step is assessing how well your metabolism is functioning– and then taking proactive steps to improve it.  Learn more about all of this today in my empowering discussion with Dr. Jones– so you can take charge of your hormones and metabolism to live the life you deserve.  Dr. Carrie Jones  Dr. Carrie Jones is a Naturopathic Physician, board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology with a Master's in Public Health.
