Dr. Amy Shah On Hormones, Cortisol & Why You’re So Tired

Dr. Amy Shah On Hormones, Cortisol & Why You’re So Tired

Why do so many women feel exhausted, dismissed, or confused about their health?

Why are painful periods, chronic fatigue, and burnout so often labeled “normal”?

And how did women’s hormones go so long without being properly studied?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with integrative medicine doctor and hormone expert Dr. Amy Shah for an honest, grounding conversation about women’s hormones, stress, and the gaps in modern healthcare. Together, they explore why so many women struggle to get real answers, how stress and cortisol quietly shape our health, and what it actually means to support hormones in a sustainable way.

From period pain and hormone testing to gut health, nutrition, perimenopause, and burnout, this episode breaks down complex science into language that feels accessible, validating, and empowering. Dr. Shah shares why there is no single “magic fix” for hormone balance—and why listening to your body, supporting your nervous system, and nourishing your gut can make a meaningful difference over time.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why many hormone tests don’t reflect what women are actually experiencing
  • Which symptoms women are taught to ignore—but shouldn’t
  • How stress and cortisol affect women differently than men
  • Why gut health and nutrition play a major role in hormone balance
  • What actually helps support hormones without extreme diets or trends

This conversation isn’t about quick fixes or perfection—it’s about understanding your body, questioning what you’ve been taught to tolerate, and learning how to support your health with more awareness and compassion.
