The Hormone Shift Show™ Podcast
If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s, wondering what fresh hell this is, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The Hormone Shift Show™ Podcast, a podcast about “the shift,” for women in the shift.
Hosted by Leslie Duffy, RN, Functional Wellness Practitioner, and Life Coach for women 40+, this show delivers a holistic (but not crunchy) take on what’s happening in your body, mind, and life during perimenopause and beyond.
It’s for smart, health-conscious women who are motivated to feel better but are tired of the noise, confused by vague advice from pseudo-experts, and frustrated that even their doctor doesn’t seem to know what to do. They’re not looking for a quick fix, another prescription, or one more appointment that ends with “you’re fine.”
Each week, Leslie brings clinical insights, lifestyle support, and honest conversation to help you feel physically and emotionally better, with real solutions designed for this season of life.
You’ll also hear monthly guest interviews on topics like metabolism, mood, stress, movement, longevity, parenting, relationships, money, and more.
If you’ve been looking for a podcast with midlife medicine you can actually understand (practical insights, science-ish explanations, and the occasional “okay, same” moment), you’re in the right place. This podcast brings clarity, honesty, and a functional medicine lens to a season of life most women are still left guessing about. You’ll walk away feeling informed, supported, and a little more sane.
