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.
