Whether it was from her patients or her hundreds of thousands of social media followers, Dr. Jolene Brighten has heard this simple question more times than she can count.

In Is This Normal?, Dr. Brighten candidly shares what your sex-ed teacher should have said but didn't. TMI isn't a term in her world. She answers all those "lady parts" questions you've always wondered but might not have felt comfortable asking, including topics as wide-ranging as the menstrual cycle, postpartum health, libido, acne, the orgasm gap, and vaginal discharges. No topic is too gross, gooey, or OMG to be off-limits.

Featuring a twenty-eight-day plan to take back your cycle and dozens of charts, checklists, and diagrams that help keep it real while keeping you educated, Is This Normal? is the Our Bodies, Ourselves for the social media generation and women everywhere will benefit from this honest, easy-to-understand guide to their bodies.

As a functional medicine expert, I have heard it all. But sometimes it takes years of working with someone before they feel comfortable to ask the uncomfortable questions. Instead of spending endless hours searching the web or wading through awkward conversations, Brighten's new book answers everything you've ever wanted to know about your body - sex, hormones, periods, etc. Nothing is off the table as she provides real answers to the often unasked questions along with actionable steps on how to move forward with things that are less than optimal in your health. It's like having a conversation with your most trusted friend...one that happens to have a medical degree.

Is This Normal is the absolute guide to thriving as a woman and addressing any hormone concern that comes your way. Dr. Jolene Brighten has created a plan that blends her years of clinical experience with the scientific literature to provide readers with a clear roadmap of how to transform their health. I love the access and education or empowerment she gives to her followers and readers.

Dr. Jolene Brighten is a leading hormone expert who passionately advocates for women to have the knowledge and tools to feel their best. While many doctors dismiss women's concerns as normal, Dr. Brighten provides insight on the root cause of the most common (and sometimes least talked about) hormone issues women face. In this book she offers comprehensive guidance on how to restore a healthy cycle, optimize your hormones, and get the pleasure you deserve.

Is This Normal is a book that all women need on their bookshelves. It gives women the answers they're seeking to some of their most common reproductive and sexual health concerns. This book reads like a conversation with a knowledgeable best friend, without any judgment or pretense. No topic is off-limits, making this an excellent guide to even the most embarrassing (and incredibly common!) women's health concerns.

The words "You're normal" are hands-down the most powerful words any sexual health professional can say. Dr. Brighten says those words over and over in this marvelous, comprehensive book. I can't wait to share it with my patients, and all the women in my life.

In a world where so many women are told that their hormone struggles, period pain, and other concerns are "normal," Dr. Brighten breaks down the myths, provides step-by-step guidance in how to optimize your hormone health, and enables you to determine what is actually normal for your own specific body. "Is This Normal" should be required reading for any woman who is struggling with her health and unable to find answers from traditional medicine.

Dr. Brighten delivers a comprehensive guide to healing hormone dysfunction, resolving menstrual cycle issues, and closing the orgasm gap. It's a must read for anyone who wants to achieve robust hormone health!
