Can one podcast hour cover how eating carbs before bed likely puts you in progesterone deficiency and explain the many reasons that play into a female “turning out to be them/do what they do” in life? 


Yep. @drleahhectman and I start with ‘what happens from the moment you have the extra X chromosome and are defined as female, and go where the exploration took us: It’s quite a ride. 


You were never meant to be like ‘every other female’. What a relief. This week we unpack this science - there’s so much more that makes you, you and I hope, even for all humans, it makes you feel empowered to know how much plays into ‘you-ness’, whatever your sex or gender. 


This week with Dr Leah Hechtman, we learn the many things that make us our unique selves when we have the XX chromosome: 



You were never meant to be like every other female. There is a reason you’re you and, as you might have guessed, it’s due to many things. The rising awareness of the perimenopause/menopause experience adds the need to ensure we feel ‘true to ourselves’ on that journey into a new life chapter, however we choose to navigate that.


Enjoy the show. Tell your friends - it’s knowledge and understanding everyone should have.

Your Host.
