About this episode

Ok, it's one of those episodes where we do all the research, we say it out loud and we go...oh man...sounds like me. Lol.

Nothing like a bit of self education, right?

If you haven't discovered the powerhouse that is zinc, this is the episode for you.

Zinc helps us in SO many ways and you may be surprised by the symptoms that show up when you're deficient.

If you're on a fertility journey - pay special attention to this one!
