    Our Hormone Health Educator Mom Turns 77 and Reflects on: Birth Control, Fertility & Perimenopause

    *Trigger warning: we share personal experiences about miscarriage in this episode* In this heartwarming (and off-the-cuff) episode, Jess and Rye sit down with their mom, Candace Burch — hormone health educator, founder of Your Hormone Balance, and living testament to aging with vibrance.  Candace shares pivotal life lessons from her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. From her first shaky steps with hormonal birth control in the 1960s, to getting pregnant in her late 30s, to navigating perimenopause and ultimately becoming a fierce advocate for hormone testing and natural balance. This candid conversation is packed with wisdom for women at every life stage. Key Talking Points: — The powerful (and unintended) impact of going on hormonal birth control in her 20s — acne scars, mood swings, and why she wishes she’d had cycle awareness tools. — How feeling “broody” in her mid-30s led to embracing motherhood after years of living footloose in Europe (and selling art out of a van in France!). — Her traumatic miscarriage experience in Paris, what she learned about progesterone, and how it actually sparked her desire to have children. — The reality of having kids in her late 30s and early 40s, then heading straight into perimenopause with unpredictable moods and hot flashes. — How hormone testing, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical progesterone cream changed everything — plus why personalized testing is essential. — What women in their 20s & 30s should start doing now to support future hormone balance, fertility, and graceful aging. — Why it’s never selfish to prioritize your health, and how Candace keeps thriving (and dancing past midnight) at 77. Resources Mentioned: 📚 Books that sparked Candace’s journey: – What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause by Dr. John Lee & Dr. Jesse Hanley – What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer by Dr. John Lee & Dr. David Zava ✨ Hormone Testing & Consulting → Your Hormone Balance 📱 Wearable devices for cycle tracking: Oura Ring, Daysy, various upcoming smart earrings ⚡ Join the SYC Membership Waitlist → launching early fall for next-level cycle syncing, nervous system tools, & a powerhouse community Follow The Hosts: 🎧 Podcast IG →⁠ @solo2.0podcast⁠ 💜 Jess’s IG →⁠ @bodyblissbyjess⁠ 💜 Rye’s IG →⁠ @ryeburch⁠ 📩 Email Us → ⁠solo2.0podcast@gmail.com⁠ 🧡 If this episode resonated, be sure to rate + review—it really helps us grow! ⏳ Episode Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro & meet Candace (77th birthday vibes!) 2:30 – Birth control in the 60s: acne, mood swings, regrets 6:45 – Modern fertility awareness, cycle tracking & reconnecting to your body 14:30 – Selling art out of a van across France & life abroad in her 30s 20:00 – Her miscarriage in Paris and how it changed her perspective on motherhood 30:00 – Late motherhood, perimenopause & the crash of stress + fluctuating hormones 39:00 – Discovering hormone testing & how progesterone changed her life 48:00 – Bioidentical hormone therapy truths & why testing first is crucial 55:00 – Self-care isn’t selfish: how Candace stays vibrant into her late 70s 58:30 – Wrapping up with gratitude and powerful final words of advice
