Mitochondria, Hormones, & Cortisol w/ Dr. Carrie Jones


Listen Later

Are you familiar with adrenal fatigue and how that can ruin your energy and motivation along with screwing with your hormone levels? It turns out that is actually a myth and adrenal fatigue does not exist! Dr. Carrie Jones, today's guest on The Red Light Report, explains why adrenal fatigue is misunderstood and clarifies what is actually going on with the adrenals and what we can do about. She is also a bonafide hormone expert and is obsessed with mitochondrial health, both topics of which are thoroughly discussed in this episode!
 
Dr. Carrie Jones is a Naturopathic Physician who is board certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology (FABNE) with a Master's in Public Health (MPH) having over 15 years in the field of functional and integrative medicine. As former Adjunct Faculty for the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), she has taught courses in both Gynecology and Advanced Endocrinology.

Dr. Jones has been the Medical Director for two large integrative clinics in Portland, Oregon and is currently the Medical Director for Precision Analytical Inc, creators of the most cutting edge hormone test on the market, the DUTCH Test. As a result, she has been honored to lecture all over the world on the topic of hormones and has had the privilege to consult with the premier health care practitioners on the hormone status of their patients.

Understanding adrenal and sex hormones can be a complicated topic. So Dr. Jones has taken full advantage of her spunky and keen personality to create fun, educational content on her Instagram page - @dr.carriejones  - where she nurtures a nonjudgemental environment and aims to educate and empower anyone wanting to learn.

Enjoy listening and learning from one of the best!
