Keep it up ladie... more

  • Some audio issues

    Audio needs better editing - a compressor would be helpful and less aggressive editing of different segments together into sentences

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MCAS symptoms “down there” with Dr. Tania Dempsey
Q: Can you ever take progesterone purely for the mast cell stabilizing effects?
While it's rarely given purely for that reason, progression may be based on hormonal issues often found in mast cell patients.
