Listen Later

I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies. 

After struggling for most of her life with chronic illnesses that doctors were unable to find the root cause of, Kaya has finally discovered that her nutrition and her physiology had so much to do with her underlying issues and that listening to her body’s needs was the best solution to her problems. 


In this episode:
