Women’s Health, Hormones & HRT With Schuyler Grant | The Commune Podcast

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with his wife and co-founder of Commune, Schuyler Grant. Schuyler is a yoga teacher, women's health advocate, and host of Commune's newest podcast, Luminescence. They explore the Women's Health Initiative study that shaped decades of medical practice, the recent removal of black box warnings from HRT, and why common symptoms aren't always normal.

The conversation touches on the grandmother hypothesis, the difference between what's culturally accepted versus physiologically natural, and why women deserve better information about their bodies. Schuyler also introduces her new podcast, Luminescence, where she and a panel of experts tackle topics around women's hormones and sexual health—from testosterone pellets to the clitoris as pure pleasure anatomy.
