361: I sat down with Dr. Patrick Flynn to break down everything you thought you knew about hormones, and honestly, this one challenged a lot of common beliefs.

We get into why PMS might not be “normal,” what’s actually going on with estrogen (hint, it’s not just one hormone), and how stress could be the biggest disruptor of your health. We also talk about why so many women feel off, anxious, or out of sync, and what might really be behind it.

We go deep into hormone testing, lifestyle factors, and how your daily habits could be impacting everything from your mood to your cycle.

If you’ve ever felt like something is off but can’t quite explain it, this episode will definitely get you thinking.

Topics Discussed:

→ Is PMS actually normal or a hormone imbalance?

→ What does estrogen really do in the body?

→ How does stress affect women’s hormones?

→ What are signs your hormones are out of balance?

→ Should you get full hormone testing done?
