Women's health can feel like a never-ending mystery, right? One symptom leads to another question, and the cycle keeps going. In this special New Year's Q&A, I'm sitting down with my daughter Amira again to answer the questions so many of you have been asking. From the effects of medications and hormone disruptors to lessons I learned from my mom's health journey, we're unpacking stories and strategies to help you feel more in control of your body and your choices.

Let's talk about the stuff that's been keeping you up at night—like hair loss and those annoying heart flutters that seem to come out of nowhere. We're getting into why these things happen, especially during menopause, and what you can actually do about them.

Oh, and if you're tired of hitting that midday slump or fighting off cravings, I've got a little secret for you: my Keto Green Shake. It's not just tasty—it's a game changer for energy, focus, and feeling good in your skin. Head over to dranna.com/tryketoshake and give it a try—I promise you'll love it!
