Ep 568: The Intersection of Trauma & Hormones: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Paula Rastrick
In this eye-opening episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with trauma therapist Paula Rastrick to unpack the complexities of hormonal health for women. They explore why hormone therapy isn’t always the silver bullet it’s marketed to be — and how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the HPA axis all play a major role in hormonal imbalance. Paula shares her deeply personal journey through hormonal struggles and burnout, and how she came to understand the nervous system as the foundation of hormone healing. Together, they challenge common myths and shed light on why so many women feel gaslighted by traditional medical approaches. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your hormones — this conversation is your permission slip to dig deeper and advocate for a more holistic approach to healing. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Hormone therapy is often oversimplified and overprescribed. Medical gaslighting is common when hormonal protocols don’t work. The nervous system is a key (and often missing) piece in hormone treatment. Trauma can rewire the HPA axis, disrupting hormonal balance. ADHD and hormone sensitivity are deeply connected. Every woman’s hormonal story is unique — individualized care is essential. Heart rate variability (HRV) training can support nervous system resilience. Empowerment through education helps women take control of their health. We need a more integrated, trauma-aware approach to women's healthcare. 🔗 Resources From The Show: Learn more about Paula Rastrick & get on her email list: Paula's Instagram: HRV Tool:

If you’re a woman over 40 wondering “What is happening to me?”—this episode is your permission slip to get curious, not quiet. Dr. Jannine Krause and Theresa Lear Levine dive deep into the hormonal maze of perimenopause and menopause—from brain fog and bloating to ADHD symptoms and anxiety—and explain how these changes ripple far beyond your period tracker. We talk hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—the myths, the magic, and the marketing of “bioidenticals.” We break down the often-missed links between gut health, detoxification, emotional regulation, and your hormone story. And yes, we talk about the things nobody wants to admit: the not so pretty results of various cleanses, the relationship between estrogen, binge eating and emotional outbursts, and why relational healing is hormonal healing. This is the conversation your doctor probably hasn’t had with you—but your body is begging for it. 🧠 Top Takeaways: Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal. Hormonal shifts can trigger or worsen ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and overwhelm. Estrogen detox is directly tied to gut health. How xenoestrogens from plastics, beauty products, and cleaning supplies are hormone saboteurs. Why detox pathways must be supported, especially in your 40s and 50s. Weight gain is not just calories—it’s chemistry and quantum physics. HRT is not one-size-fits-all and why saying Bioidentical-HRT is "natural" is misleading Mental clarity, mood, and libido are all influenced by estrogen and progesterone. Your emotional and nervou system health affect your hormones. Healing happens in safe, supportive relationships—this is nervous system work we're overlooking ✨ Notable Quotes: “All healing is relational healing.” “It’s not just about the uterus—your whole life changes.” “You can’t out-supplement a nervous system stuck in survival mode.” “It’s like cleaning out a sewer pipe—but for your hormones.” 📚 Chapters Breakdown: Time Topic 00:00 Why we need to stop whispering about perimenopause 02:58 What’s really happening with your hormones 05:48 ADHD or just perimenopause?
