I have some exciting news to share. The audiobook version of real food for fertility is finally here.

And did you know that you can listen to Real Food for Fertility for free with your 30-day trial of

Audible? Head over to fertility friday.com slash real food for details. That's fertility friday.com slash real food. This is the Fertility Friday

podcast, episode number 533. In today's show, I'm sharing my recent interview with

Laura Bryden. She joined me to talk about some of the

concepts she covered in her new book, Metabolism, Repair, or Women. And so let me tell

you a little bit about Laura, if you're not familiar. Laura Bryden is a naturopath and the best

selling author of the book's period repair manual,

hormone repair manual, and her newest book, as I've mentioned, metabolism repair for women.

Practical guides to treating period problems with nutrition, supplements, and body identical hormones.

A graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and the University of Calgary,

Laura serves on several

scientific advisory committees, including the Center for Ovulation and Mestration Research,

Semcor at the University of British Columbia. Laura has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand,

where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone and period-related

health problems. And in today's episode, we are focusing on metabolism. I found it very

interesting that Laura described her book, not as a weight loss book, but yet it still has the

implication to improve and reset your metabolism,

which can therefore lead to weight loss. We're touching on that topic and so much more in today's

episode. So without further ado, let's go ahead and jump right in.

And I'm so excited to be here once again with Laura Brighton.

And as I think about it, you were one of my very first interviews.
