Episode notes

Real talk: There is a long-standing issue with misinformation in women's health, particularly concerning hormonal health and the historical dismissal of women's medicine by male physicians. In this episode of Biohacking Bestie, my guest Dr. Jolene Brighten not only addresses this but also dives into how society has normalized severe period pain and premenstrual mood swings, and how these symptoms should actually be seen as warning signs rather than the norm.

Dr. Brighten will also explore the often-misunderstood signals our bodies send us about hormonal imbalances, the critical impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on fertility and scientific findings that will change the way you approach your wellness

Dr. Jolene Brighten is board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and a certified sex counselor. Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal, a non-judgemental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms, and building the sexual desire you crave. She also wrote Beyond The Pill, which was the first book that introduced me to her work. Dr. Brighten empowers women worldwide to take control of their health and their hormones.
