Gender Juices is a podcast/vodcast about the chemical forces that shape who we are. From estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to cortisol and adrenaline, insulin and glucagon, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and melatonin—these hormones and hormone-adjacent messengers don’t just regulate our bodies. They shape our moods, our desires, our energy, our health, and our sense of self.
Across the lifespan, growth hormone, thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), leptin, ghrelin, aldosterone, vasopressin, and parathyroid hormone all take their turn at the wheel, combining and recombining, and driving our bodies in myriad ways.
Each episode of Gender Juices explores a different life stage, unpacking what’s happening inside us as hormones rise, fall, clash, and recalibrate. This show is about biology, chemistry, identity, and culture—messy, fascinating, and deeply human.
