I’m back with another guest, my friend! This time Dr. Leigh Lewis is joining me and you’re going to get SO much out of our chat.

Leigh is a naturopathic physician in the state of Arizona. She has been in clinical practice for over 20 years and her focus is women's health, specifically hormonal health. She pursued extra training in menopause, so she is an expert in this area we ALL want to know more about.

In this episode, Leigh shares her story of how she ended up in this specialty, helps us understand the stages of menopause, and gives us reliable fact-based resources we can trust for accurate and current information.

Leigh busts some of the hormonal myths we hear about and gives us insight on how the ‘pink tax’ relates to prescriptions for women.

And, of course, Leigh shares her personal favorite about midlife and beyond!
