Ep. #162 | Are your hormone concerns being dismissed?
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back for another bite of Simplicity. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
In this simplicity bite, we will be discussing your hormone concerns and whether they are being dismissed.
One of my biggest concerns as a healthcare practitioner who has chosen to focus on women’s health and hormones, is that when it comes to women’s hormonal health, Our concerns, our symptoms, our issues are far too often being dismissed.
And what’s important to understand is that our intuition, that guides us, is often a direct conduit for that inner balance in your body. The way we feel when things are not right, it is literally your body communicating with you on the deepest level. And you know when something is off and this should be taken seriously, you should be taken seriously and it should be addressed in a caring and a thoughtful way.
Even with the best practitioner, their job and role is to educate you, to help support you with the tools and the resources to empower you, to guide you. But you, you are the only one that can create the power pause that can either put things into action for your health. So I want you to start to peel back. I want you to begin to take note of what is truly going on in your body. Then find the team, create your village.
This is what my team thrives off of, is helping women just like you. Not by doing it for you, but by linking arms, cutting through the BS and doing it alongside you.
So please do not hesitate to book in a call with one of our team via https://jennpike.com/thehormoneproject

Quotes:
- “If she’s not trying to conceive, she will most likely be given the run of the mill basic hematology, basic blood work. And no one is going to look any deeper.”
- “We cannot just be handing the pill out like candy and like it’s a prescription for solving every single hormonal problem because it is compounding the issues that are really going on. And that type of prescribing, in my opinion, is part of the dismissal society that is happening right now”
- “This is why ladies, if you are a woman who has been dismissed, I’m going to strongly encourage you to stand back up on those strong legs and two feet that you have got and walk yourself into a different office. Walk yourself into a different virtual setting, which is how many practitioners are functioning now until you find the person where you’re like – Everything they say, the way they describe it, how they teach that is resonating with me.”
- “You also cannot hand over the responsibility of your health to anyone else, whether this is the best practitioner, someone that you super connect with, or somebody not so much. It is actually not their job for you to get better. Their job and role is to educate you, to help support you with the tools and the resources to empower you, to guide you. But you, you are the only one that can create the power pause that can either put things into action for your health.”
- “I want you to start to peel back. I want you to begin to take note of what is truly going on in your body. Find the team, create your village. They’re out there. They’re waiting for you as much as you are waiting for them.”
