Are you paying $90 for "influencer-approved" collagen or magnesium blends (that cost just cents to make)?

In this explosive episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell expose the truth behind overpriced wellness supplements — including why some $90 “hot chocolates” and $5-per-serve hydration drinks are nothing more than marketing spin.

Then, they unpack new research that’s a game-changer for women’s health: a study just published in The Journal of Nutrition shows that PMS symptoms can be reduced by up to41% — simply by adding more nuts, seeds, and legumes into your diet. Meanwhile, giving in to PMS sugar cravings might make symptoms 33% worse.
