Ep. # 112 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, Calley Means joins me for a very in depth conversation about corruption in the American healthcare system. We dig into everything from the negative effects of ultra processed food on our hormone health, to understanding why women are experiencing puberty earlier and earlier. Our diet and nutrition are so closely tied to our overall health, and this conversation emphasizes how to navigate symptoms and treat underlying issues.
