Claudia Vavasaur is a registered dietician who specialises in fertility and women's health. The topic of women's health can be so overwhelming with a ton of conflicting information, so I wanted to try and cover as many different topics in this episode. We chat about how much protein we actually need in our diet, why seed oils aren't as bad as people often say, how to reduce the toxic load in your body and so, so much more. I'd love to hear how you feel about this episode, and the podcast as a whole. You can find me on Instagram @PJDeeJaySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
