Today's episode is a new beginning for the podcast! I was not expecting or planning (at all) to make this shift and had plans to continue originally in a different direction in this new year. But instead, I felt a pull to open up about my personal journey to learning about my health, hormones, endo, mthfr mutation, and what I am doing about it all. There isn't any nutrition specific talk for today, but we are discussing my background and why I am ready now to start sharing what I am doing personally with all of you.
