Summary

What if I told you that the answer to some of your most challenging midlife symptoms could be steeping in your kitchen right now?! Yep! In a cup of tea. In a world of quick fixes and pharmaceutical solutions that might sound hard to believe, BUT for centuries, some women have turned to plants for healing. Before there were pills for every problem, there were plants for every purpose. Today's conversation with master herbalist Kita Centella reveals how ancient plant wisdom is meeting modern women's health needs – from inflammation, to cortisol, to brain fog, to sugar cravings. We dive into different herbs like Gymnema for sugar cravings and nervines and adaptogens for cortisol management and why tea is the best way to consume these herbs.
