FREE ADVICE 

“Menopause and Man-o-pause are real. They cause fatigue, irritability, brain fog, night sweats, lower libido, joint pains, and sleep disturbances in our 50s and 60s. The good news is that optimizing your hormones often improves most or all of these symptoms.” -Dr. Bragg. AND don’t trust an online chatbot with your healthcare!
