You're Never Too Old & It's Never Too Late | #NYBBS Kick Off Episode with Dr. Mindy Pelz!

Today we embark on a revolutionary journey with the NYBBS Kick Off episode. Together with Dr. Mindy Pelz, we're tearing down the ways society views aging, especially for women, and building a movement dedicated to female empowerment and holistic health. We'll dive into the transformative world of self-care, discussing the healing power of rest, the rush of 'slow mornings,' and the art of truly nurturing our bad bitch souls – or what we fondly call NYBBS. In this episode, we peel back the curtain on our year-long health odyssey, aiming not for quick fixes but deep, sustainable wellness. From unraveling the complex web of our interconnected bodily systems to debunking the gaslighting in traditional medical settings, Dr. Mindy and I will bring you transparent insights into our very personal healing processes. As we tackle my blood work head-on, we confront the challenges of insulin resistance, liver health, and hormonal changes – bravely sharing our blunders and triumphs. We're not just talking stats and science; it's about real life, real struggles, and real conversations. Discover the power of fasting, the necessity of understanding your body, and how simple practices can promote balance and health. Join us, share your stories using #nybbs, and let's support each other in facing the shifts of perimenopause, mental and emotional wellbeing, and everything else the forties and beyond throw our way.
