24. Understanding Your Hormones

My guest on the show today is Dr. Carrie Jones.

Dr. Carrie Jones is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on the topic of women’s health and hormones. She graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), School of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon where she also completed her 2-year residency in women’s health, hormones and endocrinology. Later she graduated from Grand Canyon University’s Master of Public Health program with a goal of doing more international education. She was adjunct faculty for many years teaching gynecology and advanced endocrinology/fertility and has been the Medical Director for 2 large integrative clinics in Portland. She is the Medical Director for Precision Analytical, Inc, creators of the DUTCH hormone test.

In this episode Dr. Jones and I talk about being “hormonally challenged” and how women can better understand the complexity of their hormonal health in a more simplified way. We cover the DUTCH hormone test (and why you need to take it!) and the overall importance of uncovering the story of your hormones to treat the root cause vs. flooding your system with supplements and unwarranted treatment.
