Walks with Mom

What No One Told You About Hormones with Dr. Neely


Listen Later

Walks with Mom is back and in this episodes Kim & Karren sit down with Dr. Micol Neely of Phoenix Wellness and Rejuvenation for a insightful discussion on hormones, women’s health, and why so many people feel “off” even when doctors say everything looks normal.

From her fast-paced career in emergency medicine to building a practice centered around prevention and whole-body wellness, Dr. Neely shares the moment that changed everything. Burnout, motherhood, and the global shift during COVID pushed her to rethink how healthcare should actually work—not just saving lives in crisis, but helping people truly feel well every day.

What unfolds is a candid, multi-generational conversation about the gaps in women’s health education. From first cycles to perimenopause and beyond, the truth becomes clear: most women were never taught how their bodies actually work.

Dr. Neely breaks down what hormones really do, why “normal ranges” don’t always mean optimal health, and how modern medicine is finally starting to catch up—decades behind—on understanding women’s biology.

This episode is equal parts eye-opening and empowering, giving listeners permission to stop brushing off symptoms and start asking better questions about their health.
