Amy and Whitney take a practical deep dive into pumpkin seeds (pepitas)—why they’re being recommended for midlife women, what the research actually says, and how a simple handful a day might support hormones, bones, cholesterol, sleep, and overall metabolic health. Along the way, there’s real talk about blood work, testosterone swings, seed cycling, and why sometimes the simplest food really is doing the most.
