Dear Dr. Tracy

Is This Normal? A Look at Your Hormones – with Dr. Jolene Brighten

Listen Later

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Jolene Brighten, a hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought leader in women’s medicine to address the common question we all have when addressing our hormones: Is This Normal? 

 

We take a deeper look at common misconceptions behind every day female symptoms such as our energy levels, period pains, appetites, and sex drive in order to gain a more holistic understanding of why we feel the way we feel.  

 

In this episode, we discuss: 

 

  • Common signs that our hormones may not be normal  
  • How societal pressures play a role in pushing us to function outside of our physical and mental capacity 
  • The barriers that women face when it comes to putting themselves first 
  • Implementing practices to help shift your stress and take control of your day 
  • A multifaceted approach to understanding and responding to lower sex drive 
  • Sleep and other lifestyle factors we can address in order to bring our hormones into balance 
  • The impacts of intermittent fasting on the female body  
  • Living in the “both, and” space when approaching our nutrition
