Ep. 80 - In The Flo with Alisa Vitti, Female Hormone and Functional Nutrition Expert

“I know for a fact that nature has designed you in your female body to be feeling fantastic. And not just feeling good, but also have all the possible gifts that can allow you to be an agent of change and do good in the world.” - Alisa

“Your brain is wired in a particular way. You’re here to create things out of this fertile void. If you take this medication, that gets really shut down and I’ve seen that over and over again in my practice over the years.” - Alisa

“We should be given the correct information from the beginning so we understand how our bodies work, how to work with them, and how to support them, so that we’re not really so confused and not getting out of our lives what we would like.” - Alisa
