Are your hormone patients still struggling with symptoms like PMS, fatigue, mood swings, or irregular cycles — even when labs look normal?
In this episode, hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones joins us for a high-level conversation on the often-overlooked connection between gut health and hormone symptoms. From estrogen metabolism and detox pathways to functional hormone testing and lifestyle interventions, we explore how these systems are more connected than most RNs and NPs are taught in conventional training.
We discuss the clinical patterns many nurses are seeing in practice — hormone symptoms that don’t resolve with standard protocols — and how a functional medicine lens can shift the approach.
Whether you're working with women in perimenopause, teens with irregular cycles, or men with hormone-related concerns, this episode offers practical insights and a new way to think about persistent hormone issues.
