Ashwagandha has become one of the most popular supplements for stress, sleep, cortisol, menopause, and overall wellness. For many people, it's incredibly effective.

In this episode of Midlife Mayhem, I explore a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention—ashwagandha sensitivity.

In This Episode
