  • How to Increase Testosterone Naturally in Women

    How to Increase Testosterone Naturally in Women
    Jan 29 2026
    Low energy. Vanishing libido. Brain fog that makes you feel like you’re pushing through mud. Muscle that refuses to build no matter how hard you train. If you’ve ever been told this is “just stress,” “just aging,” or worse—all in your head—this episode is for you. In this powerful, no-fluff conversation, Dr. Jolene Brighten breaks down how to boost testosterone naturally in women by unpacking the real, research-backed reasons testosterone drops—and exactly what to do about it. This episode goes far beyond surface-level hormone talk. You’ll learn why low testosterone is far more common in women than most clinicians acknowledge, how modern life quietly sabotages androgen production, and why symptoms like low motivation, poor resilience, loss of orgasms, and difficulty setting boundaries are biochemical—not psychological. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with specific, evidence-based strategies you can start implementing today to support testosterone production, signaling, and receptor function—whether or not hormone therapy is part of your future plan. This episode is brought to you by: Dr. Brighten Essentials Radiant Mind—a science-backed formula created to support women’s brain health through every stage of life.

  • Why Strength Training for Women Is Not Optional for Longevity | Gabrielle Lyon

    Why Strength Training for Women Is Not Optional for Longevity | Gabrielle Lyon
    Jan 27 2026
    For generations, women have been told that healthy aging comes down to eating less, doing more cardio, and staying “small.” But in this powerful conversation, Dr. Jolene Brighten and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon challenges that narrative with a biologically grounded truth: muscle is one of the most critical and most neglected determinants of women’s longevity. Strength training for women isn’t about aesthetics or athleticism. It’s about preserving metabolic health, protecting the brain, maintaining independence, supporting hormone transitions, and reducing the risk of nearly every chronic disease associated with aging. In this episode, muscle is reframed not as optional fitness tissue, but as a vital organ system that determines how well women live in midlife and beyond. If you’ve ever been told that weight gain, fatigue, insulin resistance, or physical decline are “just part of aging,” this episode explains why that belief is outdated—and what actually moves the needle.

  • ADHD in Women: How Your Periods, Progesterone, PMS, and PMDD Can Change Your Brain Every Month

    ADHD in Women: How Your Periods, Progesterone, PMS, and PMDD Can Change Your Brain Every Month
    Jan 22 2026
    If you’ve ever wondered why your ADHD feels manageable one week and completely unhinged the next—why your medication suddenly feels useless, your focus evaporates, your emotions feel impossible to regulate, and even simple tasks like making dinner feel overwhelming—this episode was made for you. In this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, Dr. Jolene Brighten breaks down what a major scientific review confirms: ADHD symptoms in women do not remain stable across the menstrual cycle. Instead, attention, executive function, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and even medication response shift predictably in response to cyclical hormone changes. And for women with ADHD—especially those with PMS or PMDD—these shifts are often dramatic, disabling, and consistently dismissed. Drawing from nearly a decade of research, this episode explains exactly how your periods affect your ADHD, why progesterone can feel like your brain’s kryptonite, and what women and clinicians need to understand to finally stop gaslighting ADHD symptoms in women. If your ADHD feels unpredictable from week to week, this episode will finally explain why.
