It’s true that this country needs to fix its food and healthcare systems. The fact that these broken systems contribute greatly to rampant medical issues won’t be solved by deferring to pseudoscience like functional medicine. And vouchers for fresh produce won’t help either when so many wellness influencer demonize various produce and people don’t have the time to prepare meals if they’re not first turned off by influencer lies.

Other menopause books have better information without all the supplement nonsense. Also note the author says to avoid proprietary blend supplements, yet now sells her own.
