  • Episode question

    When I turned 45 I became the target for advertising about menopause and perimenopause supplements and treatments. Could you ladies dive into the weedy world of what supplements actually work? Are online doctors that prescribe patches and pills safe? Can I take estrogen or supplements even with mild symptoms? Love your work! Thank you!!

  • Nov 2020 episode aged like gas station sushi

    I love Leanne and Karen’s banter but the episode pushing the “vaccine” and telling people to go get the experimental injection just shows that Karen wasn’t doing much of her own research or critical thinking. I hope those who listened to their misguided advice are doing ok.

    I sure do miss you being my doctor! I started with you before you worked at Summit. Everyone else seems clueless. I have such a hard time getting my scrips renewed without constant appointments and bloodwork. I had been on the same hrt and thyroid for over a decade and haven’t had any problems. Where do you suggest going? I just wasn’t a fan of the lady who replaced you. I moved to Spring City, so Knoxville is now a hike!
