The psychological construct called the naturalistic fallacy.

And what the naturalistic fallacy is, is the belief that if it comes from nature,

it's therefore more holy, it's more spiritual, it's more perfect, it's more better, it's more

and it's like this whole like living 40 years past your ovarian functions, actually not natural.

Like lifespan is at a record high right now.

Like, you know, average life expectancy in America is 76, but average health expectancy in America's, like, 64.

are going to spend any amount of time listening to this show, the reason why you should listen

to this particular episode is it is because it is going to

the things that hormones do for the body, who hormones may not be good for, where some of

the misinformation comes from, why we have this perseverating fear around hormone

And that's part of the reason why this podcast exists because I want you to be able to make better decisions.
