  • No nonsense!

    Thank you for the science backed, de-influencing! I really appreciated the episode on cortisol – there is so much nonsense targeting pre-menopausal and menopausal women and exercise.

Thanks for emphasizing the importance of the basics – sleep nutrition and stress moderation. Also givin... more

I came to the podcast and started with the cortisol one and it was so revealing and I just want to say how refreshing it is to see someone who genuinely wants to help. I cer... more
