Now, over the last year, my interviews with Deepak Chopra, Dr. Mark Hyman,

Marianne Williamson, Paul Hawkin, and many others have consistently pushed the boundaries of my knowledge,

and I hope yours. Generally, I can hang quasi-respectively in conversations around consciousness,

microbiome, sustainability, and even a little

neuroscience. But today's topic, female hormones, is admittedly a little out of my comfort zone.

And it shouldn't be, only if because I live with all women, which I lovingly call my estrogen

footprint. All my three daughters are looming around puberty.

So this topic is something I need to know about. Today on the show, I interview Dr. Jolene Brighton,

a women's health naturopathic medical doctor and author of Beyond the Pill. She believes every woman

and man should get to know her hormones,

because only by understanding how her body works can a woman make informed, healthy choices

about interventions such as birth control. Hand in hand with education, Dr. Brighton also believes

we need to flip the script in women's medicine where

everything is diagnosed as a dysfunction and instead embrace that the cyclical nature of

female hormones is actually a superpower. Dr. Brighton's new course, Balance Your Hormones,

will be launching on Commune in early 2020. Go to OneCommune.com
