Dr. Jolene Brighten NMD (doctor of naturopathic medicine) is a hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought-leader in women’s medicine.

Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal (launching today); which is a non-judgmental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms and building the sexual desire you crave. 

We have both followed her for years on social media…she’s the sex-ed teacher we both wish we had the privilege to learn from at a younger age. Better late than never ;)
