Ep. #41 Today’s guest is the highly-requested hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought leader in women’s medicine - Dr. Jolene Brighten. She is board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and a certified sex counselor. Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal, a non-judgemental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms, and building the sexual desire you crave.
