Today’s episode is your ultimate guide to fixing your hormones at any age—and it’s a MUST listen for every woman in your life.  

If you’re tired, bloated, gaining weight in places you never used to, struggling with thinning hair, acne, brain fog, low sex drive, mood swings, PMS, painful periods — this is not how it has to be. 

Mel sits down with top OB-GYN and hormone expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD to unpack the science of women’s hormones in a way you’ve never heard before. 

Whether you’re in your 20s and dealing with irregular cycles and PMS, or in your 40s and 50s navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Shepherd breaks down exactly what’s going on in your body—and how to get it back in balance. 

You’ll learn: 

-The signs of hormone imbalance and how to fix it 

-The surprising ways hormone shifts mess up your skin, cause weight gain, disrupt your sleep, and more 

-The best foods to support your hormones (and the ones to cut back on) 

-How to stop hair thinning and hormonal acne 

-Why your skin starts to sag and what you can do to restore collagen 

-What happens when you stop birth control—and how long it takes your body to reset 

-Everything you need to know about PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, and more 

This is your science-backed step by step guide to balancing your hormones for health, happiness, and longevity. 

Whether you’re 25 or 65, you’ll finally learn how to work with your body, instead of against it, to feel your absolute best.
