The state of modern health, specifically women’s health, is in a very unique place right now. So much information, disinformation, arguing, and camps forming within health, nutrition, and wellness that it’s very understandable to be confused. I wanted to bring on someone who I’ve been working with for years now to chat about some important topics around women’s health.
Melissa Parra is my nurse practitioner (I’ve mentioned her before on previous episodes) and is also a clinical herbalist and bio-identical hormone consultant. She is a member of the Navajo Tribe and serves on the board of directors for First Nations Clinic.
In today’s episode, we discuss HRT, women and weight gain, the rise of Alzheimer’s disease, and more!
