She's a chunky one today! I go deep into the big wide world of nutritional medicine, covering why nutrients are crucial for health, how our body relies on nutrients for hormone balance (and overall wellbeing), and how the oral contraceptive pill can cause nutritional depletions or worsen existing deficiencies. There's a lot, but I hope I managed to clarify the complexity to this topic, AND that I've offered you something to think about. Maybe you're feeling the nudge to improve your relationship with food & have a new found appreciation for nutrition!
