Feeling blessed to have Dr. Brighten and this podcast! Incredibly helpful being a women entering perimenopause and have ADHD kids. Also, bought her latest book and am having my husband read (portions of) with me.

Found this podcast to be the MOST helpful. Thank you!

Hi Jolene, would love for you to devote an episode on those of us who are close family membrts or work colleagues of RSD sufferers. There seem to be zero coping skills for us even if we are aware of RSD, and we end up walking on eggshells in order to not upset the one witb RDD. It is draining on those around them and I have had to pursue my own therapy just to survive the interactions

AMA’s are so good. Dr Brighten is THE top expert in perimenopause. So many many tidbits of knowledge. I know the space is inundated with all stuff peri but would love more peri content, especially leveraging lifestyle/nutrition.

I want my 21 minutes back. Save yourself the time she offers no real help and just tries to sell you a program..

I am so glad I found this podcast. You explain things so thoroughly and as an RN, I appreciate all the specific medical details. I would love to hear more on surgical menopause at a young age!

Best podcast for women that are struggling with weird symptoms that doctors dismiss as anxiety and mom life stress.

I wish I would have found this podcast sooner but I’m playing catch up now and I feel so validated! Dr Brighten provides great information and it’s easy to understand; plus she gives resources and recommendations! I recommend her podcast to all women and to men who want to understand and support women’s health changes and symptoms.

Thank you so much for evidence-based information on endometriosis that is so hard to find! It has empowered me by helping me with language to use with my specialist.

I’ve learned so much about ADHD and perimenopause from you. It’s been such a game changer for me in how I advocate for my health with mostly clueless practitioners.

Love Dr Brighten! Glad she has a podcast to learn from. Definitely recommend this podcast!

As an adhd human, I learn so much from this podcast and appreciate the authenticity that Dr. Jo brings. As an adhd coach, I recommend this podcast and your newsletter far and wide to my clients; as I cannot speak to them from a clinical/medication standpoint. Thank you for offering this to the community.

This podcast has been indispensable as I’ve navigated the highs and lows of pregnancy straight into perimenopause. Not only does it offer actionable resources but also informs and reassures about real symptoms of perimenopause that are so often overlooked by most physicians.

So thankful for honest non profit based help!! I love that Dr Brighten gives FREE actionable steps and focuses on SO MANY lifestyle changes, as well as education about HRT etc.

Everything she offers is so helpful. Her podcast is informative and I go to her first for all things women’s health and hormones. Thank you Dr Brighten!

Dr. Brighten is such a gift! She is wise, funny, and super smart pulling together the missing pieces from traditional healthcare and research (mostly done on men) and tailoring approaches for women - non-nonsense or fluff, just what every woman needs to know to take control of her health. Thank you for being a voice for women everywhere! ❤️🙏

No bs with this one

I LOVE this podcast. It has given me so much insight into my struggles with PMDD, cortisol blunting, and realizing that complex challenges CAN have simple solutions. Her guests are phenomenal and so are her solo episodes. So happy this exists.

I really wanted to like this podcast as I’m a retired nurse into wellness. Many of the products recommended are not cited in research or high quality studies. It is all obfuscated. As well, Dr Brighten sells her products for a good portion of the show. I wish the show treated us as equal partners in longevity and health

Dr. Brighten does such an amazing job bringing so much nuance to conversations on health and wellness — she absolutely knows her stuff, and is great at dispelling myths about women’s health and getting to the truth of what’s actually helpful. It’s clear that her mission is to simply help as many women as possible, and she’s doing it!

This podcast is so great. I’m 37 and struggling with hormone, adhd, and cortisol issues. I’ve tried and tried to get help through my doctor but I haven’t found one that can/will help. This information is empowering.

I’ve followed Dr. Brighten on IG for many years now after trying to balance my hormones postpartum and cycle tracking. She’s been a wealth of information for friends getting off of birth control and in general just such a well-balanced source for women’s health. I appreciate all the work that she’s doing to help advance and educate women’s priorities in the medical field.

I am a primary care practitioner dual trained in functional medicine and this information is so helpful to learn from not only a patient perspective, but a professional as well. As primary care, I have been told I “do too much”, but I want to be able to offer my patients more, before I send them out. Thank you for this!

Quick, to the point, not a lot of fluff, tons of helpful tips. Easy to listen to.

Just listened to the episode on period pain and after feeling dismissed by doctors and just told to get on birth control to get rid of the pain, this was extremely encouraging and gave me a renewed empowerment to advocate for myself and not give up on finding root causes and solutions for myself

I absolutely love listening to this show. So much great information.

If you are a Woman and you are not listening to this podcast, I do not know what are you are doing. This is more than information is empowerment through education. As a women you will struggle even to get some testing done. Education and getting the word out will be the only way to make real changes in our care. I am a health professional just discovering that I know nothing about perimenopause and female hormones other than the reproductive functions. Dr Brighten is an inspiration as woman and health professional calling things by their name.

I love listening to Dr. Brighten talk. She has such a comprehensive way of explaining things. I learn so much about women’s health and hormones from this podcast. I continue to repeat episodes, because the power of representation. She shares so much valuable knowledge that is never taught or talked about in most public educational systems. Definitely check this podcast out, it will be your new wellness go to.

Some episodes are phenomenal & some platform grifters like Alex Clark. I listen wisely & take what I need with a healthy dose of skepticism (as we all should).

I first found dr brighten when trying to get off hormonal birth control for the second time. All other doctors had failed me and told me that the only way to feel better was to get back on birth control. I found her book beyond the pill and it changed my life. I keep coming back to her supplements. They are extremely high quality. And now that she has a podcast?!! This information is priceless - I hope my review helps other women get help.

Nobody talks about all the changes in women’s bodies during perimenopause. Dr. Brighten does such a great job explaining and teaching about. She has so many episodes of that will surely help, check out this show and you will learn so much about your body. She even offers a free peri-menopause action plan that is beyond helpful.

Dr. Brighten always gives the most useful and interesting information. I have learned a lot about my body and how to help it navigate menopause because of her! Fantastic show!

Life changing. I cried. Shared the episode with my sister. 100% of women will go through this making up half the population yet doctors are not knowledgeable, offer limited tests or help or dismiss this. After years of feeling horrible to finally discovering I’m in phase 4 and realizing these symptoms describe how I’ve felt for years yet had previously been dismissed because I was under 40 made me so emotional. Not sure how we can go through life not knowing about our own bodies and not being guided by doctors when we share our concerns and symptoms. Thank you for this life changing education. The beginning of healing for me as I seek knowledge to push for help going forward. Not just “going through perimenopause or menopause” but validating symptoms and seeking knowledgeable and research based methods to help. Feel so blessed to know that I can search a topic under Dr. Brighten and will get so much knowledge and expertise. Thank you!

Great topics well informed guests & host but the host talks more than the guests like she’s the one being interviewed. I’d love to hear more from the guests & less from the host

Totally loved the perimenopause episodes- so helpful to guide my care- both on my own & with my healthcare providers!

Dr.Jolene Brighten has been an inspiration to me! I struggle with Hashimotos and being a mother of 6, my energy and brain fog play huge factors in dips in my days. And I struggle with weight gain after my 6th. Thankful for Dr.Jolenes knowledge and wisdom and foresight in helping women who can’t seem to get the straight answers from anyone else.

I loved this episode….Dr Brighten gives the best advice. Im happy to try her supplements and have tried her supplements. I have taken her advice and implemented it and I have slept through the night 3 days in a row 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dr. Brighten is the expert, thought leader, and healthcare ally we all needed to improve our health and be confident making health decisions! Since discovering her in 2018, I’ve found support and guidance on thriving in life and helping my body feel good while living with endometriosis, ADHD, high histamine, and detoxing from a decade on birth control. I’m forever grateful for Dr. Brighten’s fierce and powerful presence in the health industry. She truly changed my life by teaching me how to change my lifestyle habits and mindset. More importantly, she inspired me to think critically and own my health by being intentional in what I eat, do, believe, and use to support my health. Your podcast is amazing. Your articles are detailed and full of impactful information on improving health. Your books are so encouraging and informative. You are empowering people to thrive in life! Thank you, Dr. Brighten!

I’ve followed Dr. Brighten for many years and her podcast is excellent - interesting, informative and easy to listen to! That last one is important cause so many health podcasts get booorrriinnngg. Thank you for sharing this valuable information for women’s health!!

I have followed your work for many years and my respect and love for you has only increased after this interview. I have always appreciated that I did not know your political views and I can say I still really don’t! This interview was so thoughtfully and beautifully done. Thank you for being willing to do this without bringing emotions into it. We need SO MUCH MORE of this dialogue.

I loved the interview with Alex Clark! Dr. Jolene and Alex were able to have a polite conversation even about things they disagreed on, and I really appreciated Alex’s view on IVF. Thanks for the discussion, Dr. Brighten.

I’ve been following Dr. Brighten for years now. I’m a pelvic physical therapist and I have referred so many patients to her book, IG, and now podcast. She has so much valuable knowledge and presents things in very tangible ways with humor and grace. The interviews she has had so far have been so informative for me as a clinician but also as a woman. 10/10 recommend this if you are a woman, work in healthcare, or just love good conversations with top notch experts.

Dr. Brighten is such a gift to women everywhere, I loved her beyond the pill book and this podcast is a wealth of free knowledge to educate women on their bodies and reproductive health! Thank you doc!

I’ve been following Dr. Brighten for five years, ever since I transitioned off birth control after a decade and began my journey toward conception. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I’ve relied on her supplements religiously throughout this process. I’m beyond excited that she’s launched The Dr. Brighten Show—there’s never enough time to discuss everything with my doctor, and this podcast fills that gap with in-depth, practical information. Thank you, Dr. Brighten, for your dedication to educating and empowering us in a healthcare system that often falls short!

I love the information Dr Brighten shares and trust her resources for hormone support. Such great guests and always a good listen!

I’m deeply enjoying the engaging conversations on the show. I listen to many different health podcasts, and finally a really in-depth show from a woman’s perspective. I’ve loved Dr. Brighten’s work over the years and it makes me excited to learn from her and such brilliant guests. Thank you for doing this!!!

I have been following the work of Dr. Brighten for many years and she’s always been a trustworthy source of getting to the truth and sharing her incredible knowledge. She’s not afraid to stand up for what she knows to be true even if it’s against the narrative. She is also great about collaborating with other practitioner out there who are breaking the mold and who won’t stand for women’s health not being equal to men’s. Everyone should care about this.

This podcast is amazing!! I love Dr Brighten and to have her available in this format is beyond wonderful. She’s smart, funny, down to earth and you feel like you’re listening to a friend. Please do a whole episode on HRT! Thank you for creating this podcast!

You have been an incredible source of information that I have followed for years, and I am very excited about your new podcast! I would love for you to create an episode that explores HRT in depth, covering the pros and cons of the various options available for women who have recently entered post-menopause and what balanced hormones look like. Additionally, your thoughts on how long women should consider taking HRT and whether there is a point at which they should stop. I look forward to your next episode. Thank you so much for all you do in supporting women’s health!

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Brighten! Her content has helped me to better manage my menstrual migraine, endo and perimenopause…since my doctor has been zero help. Love these episodes and cannot wait for more!!
