The Lifting Heavy Trap: Strong Muscles but Weak Tendons & Why You Get Injured

Menopause is a Hormone Deficiency (And You Deserve Better) with Dr. Felice Gersh
"Estrogen is not a hormone; it's a family of hormones,” says Dr. Felice Gersh. “You can't say fat does this or fat does that—you have to say which fat.

Think testosterone is just a male hormone? Think again. In this game-changing conversation, Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, debunks a major myth in women’s health.
