Nicole Swiner joins Gerianne DiPiano to reveal how chronic stress and shifting estrogen levels—from early adulthood through menopause—directly impact your kidney function. Learn why shifting your focus from heart health to kidney vitality is a total game-changer for long-term health, and discover simple, proactive habits to protect your body’s internal balance through every season of life.
