  • Great content

    Doc knows his stuff. Content is great. I like the topics of lifestyle, nutrition, and hormones the best so far.

    Im not sure how exactly it was worded in podcast- but I do like the idea of “dumbing down the medical words” so that i understand better. ☺️

    I support that, haha
