Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones

• Dr Nan Wise: Why Sex Feels Like a Chore and What to do About It

  You’re not in the mood. You’re not even in the mood for life. The spark is gone, your libido left the chat, and if one more person tells you to “just relax” or “get out of your head,” you might actually scream. In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Nan Wise, neuroscientist, sex therapist, and author of Why Good Sex Matters, to talk about something no one’s saying out loud: what happens when pleasure disappears. This isn’t just about sex. It’s about the loss of joy, connection, curiosity, and vitality that so many women feel in perimenopause and beyond. We talk about the real reasons your body shuts down, why pleasure is a biological need, and how stress, trauma, and social media are hijacking your brain chemistry. And, most importantly, we get into what you can actually do about it. Here’s what we dive into: What “rage at your partner’s touch” is really telling you Why pleasure plummets in midlife, and how to bring it back The difference between feeling blah and actual anhedonia What “healthy hedonism” means and how to reclaim it How dopamine, play, and connection shape your mood and sex drive The orgasm-a-day challenge (yes, it’s a thing) How your brain is your best pharmacy, and how to activate it What to do when you feel numb, depleted, and disconnected Why good sex has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with presence This episode is about reconnecting with yourself in a world that’s constantly pulling you away. Whether you’re partnered or not, sexual or not, hormonal or not, you deserve to feel alive. And Dr. Nan is here to help you find your way back.

• Not Loving Your Hormone Therapy? 5 Things to Change So It Actually Works

  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

  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.

• Q&A: 8 Answers to Your HOT Women's Hormones Questions

  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.
