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":"Weird Hormonal Symptoms After 40 And Simple At Home Fixes","slug":"weird-hormonal-symptoms-after-40-and-simple-at-home-fixes","published_at":"2026-01-27T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411/weird-hormonal-symptoms-after-40-and-simple-at-home-fixes","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411","url":"https://54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9.libsyn.com/weird-hormonal-symptoms-after-40-and-simple-at-home-fixes","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1008880/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9/HH_-_EP_39.mp3?dest-id=5022965","summary":"If you're over 40 and suddenly dealing with weird symptoms like itchy ears, new body odor, or constant puffiness, you're not imagining things. In this Hello Hormones episode, I explain why these things show up out of nowhere and how hormones are usually the quiet culprit. We dive deeper into odor changes that smell musky or oniony, itchy ears that make zero sense until you understand estrogen shifts, and that puffy, water-retaining feeling that has nothing to do with fat gain. Each of these has a physiological explanation and simple fixes you can often start at home. We also chat about hair loss and how to calm an inflamed scalp, rosacea that sneaks in during perimenopause, and sore or tender breasts that are not always an estrogen problem. The goal is clarity, relief, and giving you practical tools so these symptoms stop feeling mysterious and start feeling manageable. What's Discussed: (00:34) Why your armpits can suddenly smell oniony or musky after 40 (04:15) Feeling puffy everywhere and why it's often lymph and water retention, not fat gain (07:02) Itchy ears as an early perimenopause symptom linked to estrogen shifts (09:12) The commonly missed area when using vaginal estrogen and why it matters (11:17) Tender breasts and the surprising connection to coffee, chocolate, and caffeine (14:03) Castor oil for hair loss and how scalp inflammation blocks regrowth ✍️ 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?
