About this episode

“Each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms.” - Gloria Steinem

In this episode, Dr. Brighten shares her perspective and highlights:

  • How many women still struggle to identify what is "normal" and what is not within their own body  
  • The relationship between sex and emotions, and how the two interact 

  • How the messages we receive about the female body tend to promote shame and distort our understanding of what is normal and natural 

Dr. Jolene Brighten NMD, is a hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought leader in women’s medicine. She is board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and trained in clinical sexology. 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. A fierce patient advocate and completely dedicated to uncovering the root cause of hormonal imbalances, Dr. Brighten empowers women worldwide to take control of their health and their hormones through her website and social medical channels. Dr. Brighten is an international speaker, clinical educator, and medical advisor within the tech community. Find out more about Dr. Brighten and her work on Instagram @drjolenebrighten
