Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND - Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PMDD, PMOS and Postpartum Hormones

Women are often told that painful periods, irregular cycles, bloating, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, postpartum symptoms, and hormonal shifts are “normal.”

But common does not mean something should be ignored.

In this episode, Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND joins me for a practical deep dive into female-specific conditions that are too often missed, minimized, or treated in isolation, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMDD, PCOS/PMOS, fibroids, postpartum thyroid changes, and the gut-hormone connection.

Dr. Brighten explains why endometriosis is not just a reproductive condition, how adenomyosis differs from endometriosis, why PMDD is not simply “bad PMS,” how histamine may play a role in cyclical symptoms, and why PCOS is now being reframed as a broader metabolic and endocrine condition.

Join the most comprehensive female-specific community for health and longevity optimization. After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan. Inside, you’ll get access to exclusive protocols, live Q&As, the latest female longevity science, and a private, supportive community of like-minded women.
