Customer Reviews
So informative!!!
Helps women understand, optimize and use their cycle as necessary for whatever stage they are in their life!
Great show, but hosts a transphobic guest
I absolutely adore you LHJ! And maybe you will be as surprised as I was to know that Jennifer Mercier (your guest on three episodes) is openly transphobic, posts hate speech on her Instagram and then deletes the comments that are critical and blocks the people who commented. Listeners please be aware that Jennifer Mercier is not a safe provider for LGBTQI community. She may be talented at abdominal massage but she is a religious wingnut, possibly a climate change denier, and is also taking Ivermectin for long COVID, lol. Watch her reels on Instagram to get a look for yourself. Lisa, we love you, but please do not invite this hateful person back on the show. We have heard enough from her.
Wish she would try at all to help vegetarians and vegans
Mostly Great info but she treats vegetarianism and veganism like they are eating disorders….
