Real talk: There is a long-standing issue with misinformation in women's health, particularly concerning hormonal health and the historical dismissal of women's medicine by male physicians. In this episode of Biohacking Bestie, my guest Dr. Jolene Brighten not only addresses this but also dives into how society has normalized severe period pain and premenstrual mood swings, and how these symptoms should actually be seen as warning signs rather than the norm.

Dr. Brighten will also explore the often-misunderstood signals our bodies send us about hormonal imbalances, the critical impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on fertility and scientific findings that will change the way you approach your wellness

Dr. Jolene Brighten 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. She also wrote Beyond The Pill, which was the first book that introduced me to her work. Dr. Brighten empowers women worldwide to take control of their health and their hormones.

As I live the typical chaotic life in LA, my thoughts often drift back to the serene landscapes of my Polish heritage, a stark contrast to the urban grind. That yearning for nature's calm and how impactful it is on our health is what I dive into today with my guest, Dr. Josh Axe, in this episode on Biohacking Bestie. 

Dr. Axe emphasizes how engaging in outdoor activities can help in biohacking practices and nurture the nervous system – as well as the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues, and advocating for an environment that supports our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. 

We also discuss the importance of strengthening the body internally rather than solely focusing on treating symptoms with external solutions. 

Dr. Josh Axe is a doctor of natural medicine and a clinical nutritionist with a passion for helping people get healthy by using food as medicine. He founded one of the largest functional medicine clinics in the United States and runs the popular health website www.draxe.com, where you can find recipes, natural remedies, videos, nutrition advice, and fitness tips. Dr. Axe is a board-certified doctor of natural medicine (DNM), earned his doctorate in chiropractic at Palmer College (DC), and is a certified nutrition specialist (CNS) from the American College of Nutrition.

This week of the Biohacking Bestie, I’m publishing my interview with Darin Olien on the Darin Olien Show. 

Together we explore how women have just been treated as slightly less hairy men when it comes to health and wellness. With multitudes of studies being done on everything from fat loss, fasting, and nutrition - without a single menstruating woman included in the study. 

Health and wellness isn’t one size fits all. Males are solar with 24 hour hormonal cycles, while females are lunar with a 28 day hormonal cycle that is deeply connected to the moon. So our approaches to health need to be completely different. 

That’s why we also discuss the damage being done to women as we live in a world that’s less and less attuned to their natural cycles and the true health impacts of suppressing emotions for the sake of keeping others happy.

Darin Olien is co-host of the Emmy™ Award Winning, #1 Netflix docu-series, Down to Earth with Zac Efron. Spending nearly 20 years exploring the planet discovering new and underutilized exotic foods and medicinal plants as a Superfood hunter Darin developed, Shakeology – grossing over $4 Billion in sales since 2008 for Beachbody. He also created a plant-based Ultimate Reset 21-day detoxification program for the company. From his years of experience within the health space, he wrote his New York Times best-selling book, “SuperLife: The five fixes that will keep you healthy, fit and eternally awesome”. He is also the founder of Barukas™, the most nutrient-dense nut in the world coming from the Savannah “Cerrado” of Brazil.

We also discuss:

(00:00) - Travel, Wellness, and Authenticity

(06:14) - Safety and Authenticity in Relationships

(15:25) - Navigating Truth, Emotions, and Relationships

(26:44) - Women's Health and Hormonal Insights

(41:45) - Cultivating Presence and Self-Care

(50:54) - Understanding Women's Monthly Nutritional Needs

(55:02) - Biohacking and Hormone Balance

Imagine taking the reins of your health, sidestepping the medical establishment, and forging a path toward true well-being.
