0:09.2	today by the extremely informative, intelligent, hormone powerhouse Dr. Jolene Brighton.
0:14.6	This episode is loaded with so much information that you'd never know. It is actually the second time
0:19.8	that Dr. Bright is here on
0:21.2	the podcast. She's in episode 29 where we chat all about purse birth control syndrome,
0:26.5	getting your period back, and all things female hormones, if you can believe it. So definitely
0:31.4	listen back if you haven't downloaded that one yet. It's truly one of my favorites and

1:32.7	enough to share it with your friends, partners, etc., just probably not your family, so that they can
1:38.2	listen as well. I cannot wait to hear what you think of this episode. Let Dr. Brighton know and myself
1:43.4	when you're listening
