85 - Dr. Jeffrey Brown: Painful Periods Are Not Normal: Rethinking Hormones, Endometriosis, and Women’s Health

Painful periods are often dismissed as “normal,” but many women live with debilitating symptoms that deserve deeper attention.

In this episode of Embracing Flow, Heather Allmendinger speaks with functional medicine physician Dr. Jeffrey Brown about hormone health, endometriosis, and why severe menstrual pain should never be ignored.

Together they explore how stress, gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance influence the menstrual cycle, and why women deserve more than symptom management when it comes to their health.

This conversation brings education, empowerment, and hope to women navigating painful cycles.
