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":"The Truth About Estrogen Detox: Don't Make This Mistake","slug":"the-truth-about-estrogen-detox-don-t-make-this-mistake","published_at":"2026-03-10T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411/the-truth-about-estrogen-detox-don-t-make-this-mistake","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411","url":"https://54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9.libsyn.com/the-truth-about-estrogen-detox-dont-make-this-mistake","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1008880/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9/HH_-_EP_45.mp3?dest-id=5022965","summary":"Estrogen doesn't just float around your body forever. If it doesn't exit on time, though, things can get messy. Heavy periods, PMS, bloating, bad sleep after one glass of wine, or feeling worse on a \"hormone balancing\" supplement can all trace back to how efficiently you're clearing it. In this Hello Hormones episode, we break down how estrogen is cleared from the body, why constipation can clog up its exit ramp, and how jumping straight to DIM might backfire if your estrogen tank is already running low. If you're noticing stubborn symptoms that seem to cycle every month, reacting differently to alcohol than you used to, or experimenting with supplements without clear lab guidance, this episode will help you understand what your liver and gut are doing behind the scenes so you can support your hormones with clarity instead of guesswork.
