Our focus this week: ovulation tests, 10 ways to protect from Lyme, supplements and aluminium risks
The JourneyShow Notes
Welcome to the weekly round up. This week we look at the rise in ovulation testing: from apps, to sticks to wearable tech. Does this do more harm than good? Next we get practical and take expert advice from one of the leading Lyme experts Mary Beth Pfeiffer. She talks us through the top ten things you can do to protect you/your family. Next is supplements: a highly unregulated market so you need to know what you’re doing and what to look for. We look at the top things to consider and some of our favourites. Finally the fuss around Aluminium. We look at the science around the risks and most important what you can do to put yourself in a better position.
