I had an interesting conversation with double board certified Dr Malaika Woods. The conversation started off with mental health and social media, and then transitioned into hormonal changes in women as we age. Different perspectives on estrogen and how it effects the body. How testosterone can be very beneficial in women and is also destroyed by stress. And much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation, let me know in the comments. :) Please note that Dr Woods opinions on estrogen do not necessarily reflect my own. And although we have different opinions on certain aspects of hormones, this was still an enjoyable conversation.

As a woman who has struggled with her weight, thyroid and hormones for most of her life, I knew I was looking for another tool to optimize my metabolism and keep my inflammation low as I move through my years. A few months ago I came across some research from Dr Ray Peat on the beneficial effects of Aspirin, which was further supported by Georgi Dinkov's research on his site "Haidut". So I decided to delve deeper and scour Pub med and some of the research journals, and what I found was mind blowing. 100% the opposite from what we have been told by the medical industry and big pharma. Aspirin is King! with health benefits beyond what I could have believed. Since taking Aspirin I have seen my metabolic rate soar amongst other things. Check out what I found in this solo episode, I think you will be very surprised.
