The holidays look magical on the outside — but for midlife women? They’re often metabolic chaos wrapped in twinkle lights.
In this episode of The Founder Series, Dr. Rebbecca Hertel breaks down what actually happens inside your body during the busiest, most stressful season of the year — and why stress, sugar, alcohol, travel, and sleep disruption hit differently in perimenopause and menopause.
