Episode Synopsis

Hello, Hormone Genius friends!

In today’s episode, Jamie and I share some of our absolute favorite books from the last year, and we can’t wait to tell you why we love them! We all know that reading is a powerful way to learn and grow, so if it's been a while since you've picked up a book, consider this episode your sign to dive into something new and inspiring!

One book I totally forgot to mention, and I kicked myself for it, was Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means. I recently finished it, and it’s an amazing read for anyone looking to understand the root causes of disease and how to change your life through nutrition to create "good energy." Definitely check it out!
