Trained to Deliver Babies, Not Balance Hormones:A Gynecologist Gets Honest
Sep 24, 2026
Most women are told their labs are normal — and still feel terrible. They're exhausted, their mood is off, their sex drive has disappeared, and no one has a real answer. What if the problem isn't that something is wrong with you, but that the right questions were never asked? Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Johnny J. Peet, MD, a gynecologist who spent 15 years on the hospital treadmill before walking away to build an integrative practice focused almost entirely on hormones and sexual medicine — none of which, he admits, he learned in residency. Together they break down what women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are actually dealing with, why the standard of care keeps missing it, and what a properly trained provider would do differently. From the testosterone drop that happens after your second baby (your brain is doing it on purpose) to the estrogen-and-breast-cancer fear that was never supported by science, this episode covers the conversations most OB-GYN appointments never make time for. If you're a woman who's been told everything looks fine — but nothing feels fine — this one is for you.
