<p>In today's Sassysode, the badass nutritionist Denice Bracken & I uncover the horrors of fad diets & the issues surrounding emergency contraception. </p><p>In Sassysodes we strive to keep this unstructured, fun, and lighthearted while also bringing the listener pertinent info on women's health topics that don't get enough time in the spotlight. </p><p>Take a listen, laugh along side us, and as always... Stay Sassy!</p><p></p><p>*Disclaimer... I am very aware with how late this episode is. The episode was recorded on time, it was me that was the issue... I currently do not have enough time to edit and produce all the episodes I promised... episodes will now be coming out as time allows! :P </p><p>Take me baby, or leave me.</p>
