Summary
Today, we turned the mics around and I am being interviewed! Helen Fritsch, an accomplished author, host of the Age is Irrelevant podcast, flight attendant, and competitive athlete living her best life in her mid-sixties interviews ME. We dive into various topics including aging, diet, nutrition, injuries, and what it takes for women to be healthy, happy, and thriving in midlife and beyond. I share my personal journey, including my numerous surgeries, experiences with autoimmune diseases, the brutal truth about toxic load, why everything you've tried for weight loss has failed, the three inflammation triggers keeping you stuck, and insights on fitness and diet adjustments as we age. Join us for an engaging and informative discussion with the exact steps I use to help women become their own health detectives.
