Jay Campbell—five-time international bestselling author, founder of BioLongevity Labs, and one of the original voices in the peptide world—is here to unpack what’s really going on behind the GLP-1 explosion. Are these drugs miracle tools or misunderstood villains? And why are so many smart people still getting them wrong? We go way beyond the hype and fear, diving into microdosing, metabolic repair, thyroid changes, and why dosing may be the make-or-break factor.

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
Welcome to the very first Hormone Hotline episode of The Hormone Solution! I’m getting straight into your real-life questions about estrogen—because why, in 2026, are we still being told we’re “estrogen dominant” with rock-bottom levels? If your doctor has warned you against HRT, this episode is for you. Have you been told you can’t start estrogen until you hit full menopause? Or that perimenopause is just too much of a “hormone rollercoaster” to treat?

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
What if your mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, or loss of motivation aren’t just “getting older?” What role does oxytocin really play in midlife, and why has it been overlooked for so long?

Why So Many Hormone Providers Get It Wrong (And How to Find One Who Doesn’t)
The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
This episode comes straight from my own lived experience of spiraling before doctor’s appointments and feeling dismissed when it comes to hormones. I dig into why so many hormone providers get it wrong and what’s actually happening behind those rushed, frustrating conversations. Why does advocating for ourselves feel so hard? I walk you through what most doctors are (and aren’t) trained to do when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. How much of this is about lack of education versus lack of time? And how do you stop blaming yourself when you’re told your labs are “normal,”...

Why You’re Not Healing: Stress, Insomnia, Weight Gain & the Vagus Nerve with Dr. Navaz Nabib
The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
Have you’ve tried everything from protocols, to supplements, to experts and the healing still hasn’t happened? Why do so many of us stay stuck despite doing “all the right things”? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," to explore what might be missing. What if the real issue isn’t another diagnosis, hormone imbalance, or gut protocol? What if it’s your nervous system itself? I share my own journey of chasing answers and why discovering the vagus nerve made me question everything I thought I knew about healing. Why does stress seem to override...

Why Waiting for Menopause Is a Mistake: The Case for Earlier HRT and Replacing Hormones the Right Way
The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
I’m diving into why waiting until menopause to address hormones can be an incredibly costly mistake for so many women. Why are we told to “wait it out” when symptoms often start years earlier? And what’s really happening inside our bodies long before our periods stop? I walk through the often-missed perimenopausal years and explain why this phase matters more than most of us realize. What if heavy periods, anxiety, weight gain, or insomnia aren’t things you just have to tolerate? Could early hormone shifts be driving them? We also explore timing, myths, and fears around hormone...

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
I’m sitting down with microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan to explore a question I see come up all the time: why do hormones sometimes stop responding the way they used to? But what if the real issue isn’t your hormones at all, rather what’s happening in your gut? In this episode, we dig into the powerful gut-hormone connection. How can gut bacteria influence estrogen metabolism, inflammation, weight gain, and even mood? Why do so many women struggle more during perimenopause and menopause despite “doing all the right things”? We also talk about why hormone therapy sometimes backfires,...

It’s time to say goodbye to 2025, so let’s get real about a year that looked successful for me on the outside, but sometimes felt like a reckoning on the inside. What happens when your body forces you to slow down? And what do you do when growth starts to cost you your peace? I open up about identity shifts, burnout, and the uncomfortable realization that I couldn’t keep working the way I was. How much of my worth was tied to helping others?
