    2025/07/29
    You thought hormone therapy would fix everything. Instead, you're feeling moody, foggy, sleepless, or just kind of... off. Your bestie says it changed her life. Social media says it's the holy grail. So why isn’t it working for you? In this episode, I’m walking you through five reasons your hormone therapy might be falling flat, and what to do about it. Whether you’re on progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, DHEA, or some wild cocktail of all four, this is the troubleshooting guide I wish every woman got before starting. We’re talking starting order, dosing mistakes, delivery routes (patches, pills, gels, oh my), why skin location actually matters, and how to know if bioidentical or synthetic is right for your body. Because you deserve more than a “meh” experience. You deserve hormone therapy that actually works. Let’s fix it. I Also Discuss: Why starting with the wrong hormone (or too many at once) can cause side effects How to spot if your dose is too low or too high for your sensitivity What to know about different delivery routes—patches, gels, creams, and more The surprising impact of where you apply topical hormones on your body Bioidentical vs synthetic hormone therapy: what’s the difference and why it matters ✍️ FREE GUIDES: Hormones 101 Cheat Sheet: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/hormones101 The Perimenopause & Menopause Labs Test Checklist: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/labtestchecklist The Symptoms of The Perimenopausal Transition (WTF…) Ebook: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/perimenopausesymptom Which Stage of Perimenopause Am I In?

  • Esther Blum: The HRT Stack We Swear By, How Much You Should Be Eating, and How to Stop Being So Moody

    Esther Blum: The HRT Stack We Swear By, How Much You Should Be Eating, and How to Stop Being So Moody
    2025/07/22
    Your gut is a mess. Your sleep is trash. Your hormones? All over the place. But your doctor just tells you “it’s normal” and hands you a pat on the back (with maybe a side of birth control). Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m joined by my fabulous friend and fellow hormone nerd Esther Blum, and we’re getting real about what actually happens to your body in your 40s and 50s—and what you can do about it. We’re talking hormone therapy, gut health, vaginal health (yes, we go there), and why midlife is not the time to just “push through.” Esther is 55, in the thick of it, and doesn’t hold back. She shares exactly what she’s using, why protein matters more than ever, and how she helps women feel like themselves again… without pretending it’s easy or perfect. Here’s what we dive into: What to say (and not say) to support your partner through perimenopause—especially when you want to strangle them The HRT protocol Esther is using: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, vaginal estrogen (and yes, she puts it on her face) The gut-hormone connection no one told you about—and how to stop the bloating, constipation, and rage spiral Why most women are wildly under-eating—and how to actually hit your protein goals The real reason intermittent fasting isn’t working for you anymore Supplements that are actually worth your money—and the ones that are just fancy marketing What cortisol has to do with your mood, weight, energy, and “I’m going to lose it” moments What to do if you can’t or don’t want to use hormones If you’re wondering why you feel like a different human and nothing seems to work like it used to—this episode will help connect the dots. You are not crazy, your body is not broken, and there are real, tangible tools to help you feel better.

  • Perimenopause DEMYSTIFIED: 8 Answers to Your HOT Hormonal Questions

    Perimenopause DEMYSTIFIED: 8 Answers to Your HOT Hormonal Questions
    2025/07/15
    You’ve had questions—and I’ve seen them in the YouTube comments, DMs, and emails. In this episode, I’m answering the top eight questions I get asked all the time about perimenopause. Because let’s face it… no one really prepares us for this phase, and it can feel like your body is doing things you don’t recognize. From why symptoms like anxiety and nausea even show up, to what’s actually happening inside your body when your hormones shift—I break it all down in a way that makes sense. I’m also talking about real tools like Prometrium, how to navigate symptoms after a hysterectomy, and why comparing yourself to your best friend (or TikTok wellness influencers) is the fastest way to confusion. Here’s what I cover in today’s episode: The average age range for perimenopause (and why your timeline might look different) Whether symptoms are constant—or why they come and go in waves The science behind why menopause happens in the first place Why mood changes like anxiety and depression are common (and what hormones have to do with it) What Prometrium is, what it does, and who should consider it If you still need progesterone after a hysterectomy And how to know if you’re in perimenopause even after a full hysterectomy If you’re navigating this transition—or think you might be—I hope this episode gives you clarity, peace of mind, and some “oh THAT makes sense” moments.

  • Perimenopause Got You Feeling Crazy? Top 6 Crazy Symptoms Explained

    Perimenopause Got You Feeling Crazy? Top 6 Crazy Symptoms Explained
    2025/07/01
    Everyone talks about hot flashes and night sweats. But what about the symptoms that make you wonder if you’re just losing your mind? You go to the doctor. You get labs done. You’re told you’re “fine.” But you still don’t feel like yourself—and nobody’s giving you real answers. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the lesser-known (but incredibly common) symptoms of perimenopause that too often get brushed off or misdiagnosed. These are the symptoms that leave women feeling dismissed, confused, and alone in a body that suddenly feels foreign. I cover: Why hormone shifts can trigger heart palpitations (even when your labs are “normal”) The surprising reason your mouth, lips, or tongue might burn How changes in estrogen affect your gums, oral health, and dental visits Why you might start hearing ringing in your ears (and no, it’s not just stress) The deal with phantom smells like smoke, sewage, or burning wires What causes sudden changes in body odor (and why it’s like puberty in reverse) We also talk about how to rule out other causes—like low iron, B12, thyroid issues, or real dental problems—and why you always deserve a thorough work-up, even if your doctor shrugs it off. Your symptoms are real. You’re not overreacting. And you deserve real answers. Thank you to our sponsor: Timeline: If you want to stay strong and energized now and as you age, then you have to try Mitopure Gummies. Head to timeline.com/drcarrie to get 20% off.

  • Are Bioidentical Hormones Legit? What You Need to Know ASAP

    Are Bioidentical Hormones Legit? What You Need to Know ASAP
    2025/06/24
    You’ve probably heard the term “bioidentical hormones” tossed around like a wellness buzzword—but is it actually legit or just marketing fluff? Some people swear by them. Others say they don’t even exist. So what’s the real deal? In this episode, I’m clearing up all the confusion around bioidentical hormones, what they really are (and aren’t), and why so many women are getting the wrong info from well-meaning providers, influencers, and even doctors. If you’ve ever been told they don’t exist, they’re only available as pellets, or they come without side effects… this one’s for you. In this episode, I cover: What “bioidentical” actually means (hint: it’s not just marketing) The difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones Why Prometrium and estradiol patches are bioidentical—even if they’re FDA-approved What makes something synthetic (like progestins or Premarin) Why pellets aren’t the only form of bioidentical hormone therapy When compounded hormones are helpful—and when they’re not required Whether you need a prescription (and what to watch for in OTC creams) Why your doctor might say “bioidentical isn’t real” (and why that’s not true) The myth that bioidentical hormones have no side effects How to work with your provider to stay safe and symptom-free ✍️ FREE GUIDES: FREE GUIDES: Hormones 101 Cheat Sheet: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/hormones101 The Perimenopause & Menopause Labs Test Checklist: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/labtestchecklist The Symptoms of The Perimenopausal Transition (WTF…) Ebook: https://drcarriejones.kit.com/perimenopausesymptom Which Stage of Perimenopause Am I In?
