<p><strong>Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women's hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.</strong></p> <p><strong>Watch this episode on YouTube this Sunday!!</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos"><strong> </strong>👉<span><strong>https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos</strong></span></a></p> <p>🎉 <strong>Camp Be More 2026!!

<p><strong>So many women have messaged Chalene privately about her facelift, and this episode dives into exactly why she decided to be open about it — and what's surprised her most about people's reactions. From there, she takes a sharp turn into a true crime documentary that's been haunting her ever since she watched it: the story of actress Eva LaRue and her long-time stalker. Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking.

<p><strong>A wild and eye-opening look into the hidden online worlds shaping a generation of young men, and why every parent needs to hear this. Chalene pulls back the curtain on incel forums, red pill and black pill culture, and how meme language like Pepe and Wojak became their secret code. You'll learn how algorithms quietly pull teens into darker corners of the internet and why loneliness, not politics, is usually at the heart of it. This isn't about blame. It's about understanding the digital reality our boys are growing up in and how to keep them grounded in real life connection.</strong></p> <p>🚨<strong>Trigger Warning: This deep dive contains references to violence, murder, and extremist online communities.
