    This is my first time listening to your podcast. I discovered your podcast from Dr . Li .
    I would like to learn more about how to regrow hair for menopause women. What foods or products to help grow hair.
    Thank you and I have really enjoyed this podcast.

      Hi Kathy and welcome to the Healthier Together fam! I’m so glad you’re here. For hair growth during menopause, I’d recommend checking out this post on the best hormone balancing recipes and especially check out the recipes that have healthy fats from avocado and nuts, protein from salmon, chicken, or legumes, and vitamins and antioxidants from cruciferous vegetables that support your natural collagen production.

      xo, Liz
