The 40 & Unfiltered Podcast
by Jessie Faber, FDNp
Welcome to the 40 & Unfiltered Podcast, where we dive deep into the real, the raw, and the remarkable aspects of our fabulous and often infuriating 40s. From perimenopause and menopause to so-called "geriatric pregnancies," reproductive disorders, kids, child-rearing, living a life with no kids, hysterectomies, HRT, travel, preventative health, alcohol, and everything in between, we aren't holding anything back. Especially the laughter.
