You’ve probably heard about hydrogen water, electrolyte water, or structured water…

But none of them come close to what Rob Gourley discovered.

We're talking about a fifth phase of water that doesn’t just hydrate you—it energizes your cells, grounds your body, boosts oxygen at the cellular level, and helps flush out toxins with zero stress on your kidneys.

You’ll never look at water the same way again.

Most women don’t hear this from their doctors, but low hormones can quietly wreck your sleep, drain your energy, and seriously mess with your brain, bones, and mood.

This episode covers it all—from waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason to losing muscle no matter how hard you work out or feeling more irritable than usual and not knowing why.

Dr. Tami breaks down the research, the risks, and the real-life signs your hormones might be out of whack, even if your labs look “normal.”
