In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Carrie Jones—functional hormone expert and lab testing educator—for a powerful conversation every woman needs to hear.

We dig into the real reason so many women are dismissed by their doctors despite feeling exhausted, foggy, bloated, or just “off.” Spoiler: it’s not you—it’s the outdated, surface-level lab work. Together, we expose why “your labs are normal” is often a dangerous misdiagnosis and what deeper testing can reveal about your hormones, metabolism, and risk for breast cancer.

Dr. Carrie Jones is a globally respected leader in functional hormone testing and education. A naturopathic physician and clinical expert in women’s health, Dr. Jones helps both doctors and patients decode complex hormone and metabolic patterns for real answers and lasting healing.
