Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones 5 Holistic Hormone Questions for Perimenopause
I know… hormone talk can get really confusing sometimes. "Normal," "holistic," "bioidentical," "natural"... what do these even mean?
In this episode, I'm answering the top five hormone questions women ask me most, like how much estradiol you actually need, whether estrogen cream belongs on your face, what to know about Prometrium and pregnenolone, and how to navigate birth control in perimenopause.
If your feed is full of conflicting hormone advice, this episode cuts through the noise with myth-free hormone clarity so you can stop second-guessing.
Put your headphones on, we're making hormones make sense again.
