## Resource

Integrative dietitian, Esther Blum, unpacks the estrogen supply chain crisis, leaving women without basic hormone care, why 70% of women aren't detoxing hormones properly (and what that means for your HRT), and why eating more — not less — is the midlife prescription most women need. Plus testosterone, carbs, and the best-kept secret of the zero F's era. Watch the full episode at https://youtu.be/9_lS_8M4cs8
