It was a very informative podcast

I loved your recent episode about Dr. Kumkum Patel on Gut Health in Women. Hearing about her groundbreaking research and insights about bacteria in our gut, their fertility benefits, and their experience was not only enlightening but deeply resonated with me. It was a very informative podcast and will help many women out there.
