90: Dr. Carrie Jones: Hormone Issues, Low Libido, Fatigue? Start Here
from Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women · host Tara LaFerrara
Ever been told your symptoms are “just stress” or “totally normal” while your body feels anything but normal? You’re not imagining it—and you deserve real answers. In this episode, I’m joined by hormone health expert Dr. Carrie Jones, and we’re diving into the truth behind why so many women feel anxious, exhausted, inflamed, and out of sync—especially in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. If your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal, this episode is for you. We’re breaking down what’s actually going on in perimenopause, how nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress impact your hormones, and why some of the popular fixes (like overtraining or fasting) might be doing more harm than good. Dr. Carrie Jones is a board-certified functional medicine doctor and hormone health expert with 20+ years of clinical and educational experience. She is board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology and holds a Master's in Public Health. We Also Discuss: 00:00 – Why “normal” labs don’t mean you feel normal 05:51 – The hormone lies women are still being told 18:44 – How to actually know if your hormones are off 23:24 – Are your healthy habits secretly stressing your body? 36:01 – The real impact of stress and overtraining on hormones 40:50 – What your bloodwork isn’t telling you 53:52 – The problem with getting hormone advice from social media Thank You to Our Sponsors: Broads: The app made for women who lift.
