In this empowering episode of Health Confidential, Simone sits down with Dr. Leland Stillman, a visionary integrative physician and advocate for medical freedom, to explore the untold truths about midlife health, menopause, and reclaiming bodily autonomy in a profit-driven medical system.
With candor and clarity, Dr. Stillman challenges conventional narratives around women’s health, shedding light on how modern medicine often fails midlife women by overlooking root causes, emotional well-being, and lifestyle factors. He speaks to the power of holistic care, and reconnecting with nature and inner wisdom as essential tools in navigating menopause and beyond.
