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":"Struggling With Hair Loss: The 4 Causes You Need To Know!","slug":"struggling-with-hair-loss-the-4-causes-you-need-to-know","published_at":"2026-03-24T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411/struggling-with-hair-loss-the-4-causes-you-need-to-know","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411","url":"https://54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9.libsyn.com/struggling-with-hair-loss-the-4-causes-you-need-to-know","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1008880/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9/HH_-_EP_47.mp3?dest-id=5022965","summary":"Hair loss rarely starts at the scalp. Most of the time, the signal started months earlier somewhere else in the body. One day your hair looks normal, and the next you notice more strands in the shower, thinning at the temples, or shedding all over your clothes and bathroom floor. Suddenly your hairbrush looks a little more dramatic than usual. In this Hello Hormones episode, we break down the hidden hormone imbalance behind hair thinning, the 3-4 month stress delay most women don't realize can trigger shedding, and the iron deficiency hair loss many doctors miss. We also look at how chronic stress hormones push hair follicles out of growth mode and into shedding mode. When the body thinks it's in survival mode, it redirects resources to the brain, heart, and muscles, and hair unfortunately doesn't make the priority list. If your ponytail feels thinner or your hair just isn't growing the way it used to, this episode will help you connect the dots.
