This Is Not Normal: Dr. Deb Matthew on Hormone Health, Perimenopause & Feeling Like Yourself Again

In this empowering and educational episode, Kelly Springer welcomes Dr. Deb Matthew, known as America’s Happy Hormones Doctor, to explore what most women wish they had been told about perimenopause, hormone imbalances, and the reality of feeling not quite right in midlife. With a clear mission to help women reclaim their energy, mood, sleep, and joy, Dr. Deb shares tools and strategies that go beyond prescriptions—addressing root causes and providing actionable guidance to feel like yourself again.

Dr. Deb breaks down what perimenopause really looks like (hint: it’s not just hot flashes), why standard medical care often misses the mark, and how nutrition, gut health, stress, and lifestyle are just as important as lab results. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s—or supporting someone who is—this episode is packed with insight.

• What perimenopause really feels like (and why it’s often misdiagnosed)

• How hormone imbalance shows up as anxiety, fatigue, irritability, brain fog, and poor sleep

• Why conventional medicine often fails women during this phase of life

• The difference between being “normal” on paper and feeling great in your body

• What FSH, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone do—and when to test them

• How gut health, stress, toxins, and diet directly impact hormone levels

• Why women need more than prescriptions—they need partnership, education, and options

• The dangers of normalizing suffering and how women can become their own advocates

• What men need to know about supporting their partners through this transition

• The truth about testosterone in women and why it’s often overlooked

• If you're told your labs are “normal” but you feel off, you're not alone—and you're not crazy.

• Hormones are not scary or dangerous—imbalance is. Balance supports longevity, mood, metabolism, and quality of life.

• You deserve a care team that listens to you and partners with you, not one that dismisses your concerns.

• Lifestyle strategies like sleep, stress reduction, and personalized nutrition are powerful tools in balancing hormones.

• Midlife can be a time of vitality—not decline—when we have the right information and support.
