Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr P says when women hit menopause and lose estrogen, their heart disease risk jumps to that of an 80‑year‑old man overnight, so smart, natural hormone support is crucial.

Dr P explains everyday toxins (microplastics, fabric softeners, candles, plastics) drive estrogen dominance, disrupting hormones and promoting insulin resistance and weight gain.

Manon explains correcting a hidden vitamin D deficiency (despite "normal" assumptions) dramatically improves your muscle function and ability to move/exercise, showing how one missed nutrient can block progress.
