Today, I am delighted to have my friend and colleague, Dr. Mindy Peltz, on the show with me for the third time. She is a well-known women's health advocate, deeply dedicated to empowering women to trust and embrace the process of natural healing within their bodies.
In our discussion, we dive into her latest book, Eat Like a Girl, and she explains how her mom influenced the development of her nutritional and mindset philosophy and her approach to food. We explore the social media incubator, how societal norms shape our self-worth, and how to eat like a girl. We also discuss using food as hormonal medicine, the role of estrobolome, and how environmental toxins are in our personal care products and food.
I know you will love today's valuable, insightful, and thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz.
