Ep. 158 Menopause Supplements: Why You're Throwing Money Away
If you're spending $150 to $300 a month on menopause supplements and you're still exhausted, still not sleeping, and still wondering why nothing is working, this episode is for you.Most of that money is going down the drain. Not because supplements can't help, but because of how they get bought. One symptom, one bottle, and nobody ever checked whether you needed it. Meanwhile the same symptom can come from a lot of different places, so buying off the symptom alone is guessing.In this episode I break down how a supplement list gets that long, what I take and why every single one is on there, and what has to be in place before any of it can work.

If you were born between 1960 and 1980, you grew up in the middle of one of the most damaging nutritional eras in modern history. Low fat everything. Eat less, move more.
