Dr. Estima shares practical, science-backed strategies to help women achieve sustainable fat loss, balance their hormones, and shift their mindset toward nourishment, rest, and self-compassion. They also dive into smart exercise tips, why creatine is a game-changer, and how gratitude can transform your health journey.
