About this episode
The episode discusses the physical and emotional challenges women face in their 40s, focusing on anxiety, weight gain, and hormonal changes.
If you're over 40 and suddenly feel anxious, exhausted, gaining weight, and not like yourself… this is not in your head and it's not just aging. In this conversation, I sit down with Kimberly Pacetti, a functional health practitioner who blends traditional medicine with a root-cause approach to help women actually feel better, not just manage symptoms.
