Description

Gray Matters is the podcast for women who are done being confused about their hormones and ready to actually get answers. Hosted by Hailee, women's hormone and fitness coach and founder of Gray Area Co., and Co-hosted by Dr. Emily Marshall.

this show covers everything from period recovery and cycle health to nervous system regulation, energy, and the relationship between how you train, eat, and live — and how your hormones respond to all of it.

If you're missing your period, stuck in a cycle of burnout and restriction, or just know something feels off — this is the show that meets you there. No fluff, no fear-mongering. Just real talk about what's actually going on in your body and what you can do about it.

New episodes weekly. Come for the hormones, stay for the clarity.
