Nutrition plays a huge role across the lifespan. I studied medicine. I was really excited to learn

about nutrition and lifestyle, but you don't learn very much about nutrition in medical school.

I was diagnosed with PCS. It took me two years to get to that point, despite me being a medical

doctor myself.

So just to give everybody a quick rundown of what to expect over the next hour. So Dr. Wallace is a

member of the Woop Medical Advisory Board. We're so lucky to have her incredible expertise infused all over

the product. And I think you're really going to love hearing what she has to say. She specializes

in women's health. She's written an incredible book called The Female Factor, which we will link in the show

notes. And she's also the founder of a platform called The Food Medic. So why don't we start off there? What is the food medic?
