A podcast where we explore how to make friends with our hormones so we can survive—and thrive—through our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond! I'm Dr. Carrie Jones—a holistic functional medicine doctor, hormone nerd, and women's health advocate who's spent over 20 years helping women understand their bodies and navigate all the twists and turns of hormone changes. I've seen it all—from the frustrating weight gain and brain fog to the mood swings, low libido, crazy periods, and sleep that just won't cooperate. Whether you're pre-, peri-, or postmenopausal—or just a woman dealing with the chaos of hormonal imbalances—you're in the right place. Because understanding your hormones doesn't have to feel like herding cats—and your mood swings, fatigue, or weird symptoms? They're not just \"in your head.\" So let's decode the science, ditch the confusion, and help you feel like yourself again. You bring the symptoms, I'll bring the science—and let's get you the solutions together.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-09T18:18:43.736504+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411"},"episode":{"title":"5 Supplements That Actually Support Sleep, Brain Health and Energy During Midlife","slug":"5-supplements-that-actually-support-sleep-brain-health-and-energy-during-midlife","published_at":"2026-02-10T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411/5-supplements-that-actually-support-sleep-brain-health-and-energy-during-midlife","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411","url":"https://54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9.libsyn.com/5-supplements-that-actually-support-sleep-brain-health-and-energy-during-midlife","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1008880/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9/HH_-_EP_41.mp3?dest-id=5022965","summary":"If you've ever stared at your supplement cabinet wondering whether any of it is actually helping, you're not alone. The frustrating part is that a few supplements really can support your hormones and energy, while others just create noise and false expectations. In the latest Hello Hormones episode, we dive deeper into why magnesium is often the one supplement most women are probably missing, why creatine isn't just for the bros anymore, and why so many people are taking melatonin in ways that work against their sleep. We also talk about why black cohosh is not a phytoestrogen and what it really supports instead. This episode is about cutting through the noise and understanding what your body actually needs.
