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: https://thebrainbodymethod.com/ Paula's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrspaularastrick/ HRV Tool: https://www.heartmath.com/
