In this episode, host Emily Brewer, DCNP, welcomes a special guest, Laura Chastain, NP, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health: hormones. Together, they dive into the real-life challenges of PCOS, perimenopause, and hormonal imbalance, and why so many women feel like they're not being heard or helped.

From common symptoms like brain fog, mood swings, and irregular periods to deeper conversations around hormone replacement therapy, insulin resistance, and fertility, this episode clears the confusion and offers science-backed, compassionate insight. You’ll also hear about natural supplement options, the role of lifestyle, and why patient-led care and shared decision-making matter so much.

If you’ve ever said “I just don’t feel like myself,” this episode is for you.
