Episode 5: That's Crazy! (Does it Work???)

from Friends. Period. · host Colleen, Erin, Lisa, Meghan,Tara

How far would you go for a good night’s sleep, glowing skin, or a little relief?  In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on our recent "health and wellness" adventures,  covering the spectrum from the earthy and herbal to the downright fishy.  We also touch on the “BS Meter” and how we have to use our discernment to decide which trends are worth the hype and which belong in the "not so much" pile.Whether it's a "root" awakening for our hormones or a beauty tip that sounds like it belongs in an aquarium rather than a clinic, we’re sharing what happened when we actually said "yes" to the weird stuff… or still haven’t ruled it out! We hope you join our circle of friends.  Welcome to the group chat!Keep in touch – follow us on Instagram @friendsperiod5We’d love to hear from you, email us at [email protected] "Friends.
