Today’s TLS episode is one of the most listened to episodes of all time — and this All Star guest has personally influenced my daily habits in more ways than any other guest thus far.
In this interview, hormone specialist, integrative nutritionist, and Flo Living founder, Alisa Vitti, shares some surprising facts and an entirely new way of approaching our lives. For example:
Did you know that today’s traditional nutrition, work schedule, and exercise recommendations are all centered around male hormone patterns?
Did you know things like PMS, cramps, unexplained infertility, low libido, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, and eczema are improved (or even fixable) by optimizing our hormones?
This episode is perfect for women looking to understand how we can optimize our hormones to improve every aspect of our lives.
