Connect with Dr. Mindy:
info_outlineIn this episode of The Resetter Podcast, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with hormone expert Dr. Sonya Jensen for a deeply honest conversation about how hormones shape our emotions, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self across every stage of a woman’s life.
Together, they explore why emotional reactions intensify during hormonal transitions, how resentment and rage often have ancestral roots, and why symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and overwhelm are not character flaws, but signals from the body asking for support.
Dr. Sonya introduces her “HER Cycle” framework, showing how hormones, emotions, and relationships are always influencing one another and how healing often begins in the body, not the mind.
