then you could take it to the next level and learn about those inside my Patreon.

It's just patreon.com slash hormone healing RD that will get you access to this week's bonus episode where I go through different options for detox support depending on what you have

going on because that's the other thing is, you know, not everyone needs the same foods or supplements

specifically to support detoxification. Sometimes we can benefit from other, from certain ones more than others.
