Interview with Dr. Carrie Jones, ND, DABNE, MPH the ”Queen of Hormones”

In this episode, functional medicine nurse practitioner and educator Brigitte Sager sits down with hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones, a naturopathic physician known for her extensive work in women's health, hormones, and endocrinology. Together, they dive into the critical role nurses can play in functional medicine, focusing on hormone balance and how foundational practices can significantly impact patient outcomes. Tune in for insights on how to help clients improve their health by addressing core issues like stress, sleep, diet, and hormone testing, without jumping straight to advanced diagnostics.

Dr. Jones shares her expertise on why starting with the basics can make a huge difference for patients, including when to consider advanced testing like the Dutch test. They also discuss the importance of understanding stress and cortisol, insulin resistance, and how hormone imbalances are often linked to lifestyle factors that can be addressed through functional nursing principles.
