Well, hey there. Welcome back. We've made it through the summer. Luckily, we're moving into fall,

0:04.9

and I'm really excited to cover some of the topics that I have laid out for upcoming podcasts.

0:11.3

Today's topic, I want to talk about hormones. I know that's a big one that people have asked about.

0:15.7

I actually did cover this topic a little bit in a post, but I really wanted to peel back even more layers and

0:22.4

explain what you could do about this because it is kind of a simple fix, but also a complex

1:18.0

Well, I guess the leaves are changing if you live in a different state. In Arizona, our leaves

1:21.2

actually don't change until December and January. But I am digressing. Anyway, it's still a great

1:26.5

time for you to have a solid pair of sunglasses.

1:29.2

I love Gooder because their sunglasses I can wear when I'm working out outside. I can wear

1:34.2

them to the pool or during activities, and I can also wear them in the evening. They don't bounce,

1:39.9

they don't slip. They have a 30-day free return policy. They are 100% polarized. They're
