#109 How To Handle Anxiety in Perimenopause

On This Episode

 

Dr. Traci Potterf, a functional health anxiety detective and founder of Inner Genius Health, offers a fresh perspective on anxiety. Rather than attributing it solely to genetic chemical imbalances, she believes it is a natural response to our modern, unnatural environment. Dr. Traci highlights the impact of industrialization, explaining how it has led to dental decay, mental illness, and other health issues. She emphasizes the importance of working with nature's intelligence and tapping into the inner genius within individuals to promote healing and well-being.. With her unique approach, Dr. Potterf seeks to empower perimenopausal women to take charge of their health and well-being in a world where it is all too easy to lose touch with nature.
