In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, I tackle two powerful listener questions that affect so many women.
First, I discuss why some people don’t sweat in saunas—and what that says about your detox pathways, metabolic health, and nervous system. Then, I shift gears into the emotional and rarely-discussed link between C-section scar defects and secondary infertility.
If you’ve ever felt confused about your body’s ability to detox or frustrated with your postpartum recovery, this one’s for you.
