758. He Said It Was All In My Head: The Hormone Lie Women Are Still Being Told


Listen Later

If you've ever walked into an appointment desperate for answers and walked out with a pat on the head, a prescription you didn't ask for, or a suggestion that you're "just stressed"… this episode is for you.

I'm sharing the story of the first time I was brushed off — right after my first baby, when exhaustion hit me so hard I couldn't carry a car seat 30 feet without my arms shaking. The doctor wrote it off as "normal for new moms." It wasn't. It was postpartum thyroiditis — something that only got diagnosed because someone finally asked the right question.

But this episode isn't just about my story. I'm also unpacking one of the most heartbreaking cases I've ever seen: a woman so ignored and so misled that she was handed a divorce lawyer's business card instead of medical help. And all the while, her hormones were screaming for attention — something no one even tested.

This is what women are facing every single day. Not just dismissal. Not just neglect. But misinformation and mislabeling real hormone dysfunction as anxiety, stress, or exaggeration.

And this is exactly why I teach what I teach.

Because once you truly understand your hormone patterns — through comprehensive testing like the DUTCH test — everything changes. You finally have language for your symptoms. You finally have proof. And you finally have a plan forward.

Inside the 12-Week Female Hormone Solution, this is exactly what we do. We test. We interpret. We address the root cause. We build a plan around your biology — not generic advice, not symptom-silencing, not guesswork.

If you've ever been told "you're fine" when you know you're not… if you've been made to question your own symptoms… if you're tired of trying to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't listen…

This is your turning point.

Registration for the 12-Week Female Hormone Solution is now open.

If you're ready for someone to finally take you seriously, look at the right labs, and give you real answers — not dismissal — this is where you start.
