Are your teen’s mood swings more than “just hormones”?Are your own symptoms—fatigue, anxiety, or low libido—being dismissed as “normal”?
In this powerful episode, Colleen O'Grady interviews Dr. Julie Taylor, functional medicine physician and author of The Hormone Manual, about the misunderstood role hormones play in both teens and moms. Dr. Taylor debunks the myth that hormones are simply a “female issue” to be silenced, minimized, or medicated. Instead, she explains how hormones—especially progesterone and testosterone—are central to our emotional and physical well-being. From gut health in childhood to PMS, PMDD, birth control, perimenopause, and menopause, Dr. Taylor outlines how hormone imbalances often go undiagnosed and untreated, leading to anxiety, depression, migraines, and more. She urges moms to listen to their bodies—and their daughters’—and seek out root-cause, functional medicine solutions.
Dr. Julie Taylor is a bioidentical hormone specialist and functional medicine doctor with a thriving practice in Pasadena, California. She aims to restore health and wellness to her patients by treating the whole person. She sees patients, men and women of all ages in her practice where she emphasizes preventive medicine reversing chronic disease and finding the root cause of all symptoms. She focuses especially on menopause management and helping women find quality of life as they age.
🗝️ Key Takeaways:
Hormones are everything. Progesterone is a natural antidepressant, and estrogen/testosterone imbalances can lead to anxiety, mood swings, migraines, and loss of motivation or libido.
Teen symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, acne, and even suicidal thoughts may stem from hormone imbalances, not mental illness—and can often be treated naturally.
Birth control may mask symptoms but cut off vital communication between brain and ovaries. Non-hormonal options like the copper IUD are safer, and hormone testing is essential before defaulting to antidepressants.
