Navigating Menopause w/ Dr. Carrie Jones


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Carrie Jones to break down everything you need to know about menopause — from early warning signs to hormone replacement therapy and the role of supplements.

We start by diving into Dr. Jones’ background and what led her to become a leading voice in women’s hormone health. From there, we unpack the three stages of menopause and what they actually mean for women in real life.

We cover:

  • What menopause really is (and why it’s more than just a moment in time)
  • Early signs of perimenopause and what women should be watching for
  • How hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shift during each stage
  • The role of labs vs symptoms – and whether age really matters
  • How long perimenopause typically lasts
  • The impact of stress and birth control on hormone health
  • We also dive into post-menopause, including:

    • Why the average age is around 51 — and why many women experience it earlier
    • What happens hormonally when menopause goes untreated
    • A major part of this episode focuses on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy):

      • When to seriously consider it
      • Common myths and misconceptions
      • The truth about breast cancer risk
      • How optimizing one or all three hormones can impact quality of life, energy, body composition, and longevity
      • We wrap with a supplement Q&A, covering:

        • DIM — where it fits and who it’s for
        • Chasteberry
        • Ashwagandha  
        • Other supportive options for hormone balance
        • If you’re navigating menopause yourself — or coaching clients who are — this episode is packed with actionable insights you can actually use.
