Hormones aren’t just about hot flashes and mood swings. They’re the keys and locks that control almost everything in our bodies. But how do they actually work, and what happens when things feel “off”? In this episode, Jenn asks the questions we’re all wondering (sometimes straight from her group chat), while Dr. Michelle breaks down hormones in plain English, with analogies that actually make sense.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• What hormones really are and how they function in your body
• The menstrual cycle explained step-by-step, without the jargon
• PMS, PMDD, and why some people struggle more than others
• The myth of “balancing” your hormones vs. optimizing them
• Why your period isn’t the only marker of perimenopause or menopause
• How to track your own data to feel more empowered in your care

This is your crash course in hormones, no thousand dollar influencer program needed.

What happens when a menopause expert meets an entrepreneur with serious health challenges? You get Coven Women’s Health and now, this podcast. In our first episode, Dr. Michelle and Jenn introduce each other (with raw honesty), share the story of their “meet-cute” that turned into a business partnership, and talk about why building a new model of women’s healthcare is so necessary.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• The hamster, the basement, and the original “Michelle + Jenn jingle”
• Michelle’s expertise as one of Canada’s top menopause specialists (and why she became passionate about this work)
• Jenn’s health journey, self-advocacy, and what it’s like to be dismissed in the system
• The failures of “universal” healthcare and why so many women feel unsupported
• Why Coven Women’s Health is built on community, multidisciplinary care, and accessibility for all women
• What “Coven” really means (hint: witches, power, and a love of Hocus Pocus)

If you’ve ever felt dismissed in your health journey or wished there was a place that actually listened – this is your invitation to the Coven.

Hysterical Women is the women’s health podcast that makes hormones make sense and creates a safe space where women can be as hysterical as they’d like. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Jacobson and Jenn Patterson, co-founders of Coven Women’s Health, this show is your dose of no nonsense education, empathy, and humour.

We’re here to dig into the questions you’ve been Googling at 2 a.m., the symptoms that freak you out and the things your doctor can’t explain – from PMS and perimenopause to insomnia, sex (or lack of), and everything in between.

No jargon, no judgment – just honest conversations about your body, your hormonal health, and your options.

Because being heard and supported in your health shouldn’t be rare. It should be the standard.

Welcome to the Coven. You belong here.
