The Fit Farming Food Mom, Connie Nightingale

Today we have one of my absolute favorites on the show, Victoria Felkar. We dive down the hormone rabbit hole. Are you being sold a lie on social media? How many of the fitness influencer are enhanced? Is it a game of telephone where the information is lost along its journey through social media? We talk about performance enhancement, Females and PED's, Hormone replacement therapy, birth control and much more. This is one of my favorite guests to have on the show and she knocks it out of the park as usual.
