Women's Bodies are Metabolically Expensive (Why Things Break So Easily) - Dr. Suuzi Hazen

Chinese Medicine holds that women's bodies are 10x harder to heal than men's, as our reproductive system is biologically much more precious and metabolically more intensive to maintain. In this conversation my good friend, third time guest, and Doctor of Chinese Medicine Suuzi and I catch up one year after we both underwent severe energy loss to share how we've rebuilt and healed.

We talk about shifting away from the mindset of achieving "optimum human health" (an illusion that contributed to our health crises), working and mothering in a state of total burnout, how our childrens' metabolic patterns can mirror our own & how we've helped our own kids heal, the link between high sensitivity and mineral depletion, why we've chosen a metabolically appropriate approach to weight loss even though it takes much longer, and so much more.
