Mel you are the best
after hearing someone else had let them out there before Mel, makes her seem phoney.
I would like to thank you very much for the time you take to teach us ... Mel TNX . and I woul love to hear some strategies about how to deal with jealous people... with respect Mel...🧡
it's so cool mel! I'm listening this episode on my new year's holiday! 🌱
I find this podcast great but very confusing. How does fasting fit into this. Maybe a follow-up podcast combining this knowledge with the principle of fasting for women will be necessary.
i love Jefferson!! shaped our lives
Mel, this podcast has been life changing! Thank you for everything you do and all the questions you ask!✨
I'm strongly relate to that, I grown up in a good family, going to good school and college but I always felt a strong trama and fear in my love however I never could find the initiate source of that. by listing to this episode I feel I found my source of trama and hopefully how to overcome it.
I wish women in my country, Iran, had access to this information.
👏♥️
OMG so true Mel
You know what? After listening to the podcast for quite a while now, I just realised how impactful is when Mel says "I love you. I believe in you..." keep up the good work!
Whenever I need help or just want to hear the words of a true friend, your podcasts are my sanctuary.

why I Can't listen to mel's podcast?
Can't thank you enough for this most informative podcast! I have listened to it several times and finally decided to purchase Dr. Li's EAT TO BEAT DISEASE. WOW! So much information. There is no way you could get all this info in one podcast, but I feel you made a good dent. Please have him on again. He's such a brilliant man. Very relatable, too. I love you too, Mel. ♡

amazing thank you
بیماریهای خودایمنی در زنان شایعتر است، عمدتاً به دلیل عوامل بیولوژیک، هورمونی و ژنتیکی. استروژن (هورمون زنانه) با تقویت پاسخ ایمنی و تولید پادتن، خطر حمله به بافتهای خودی را افزایش میدهد. وجود دو کروموزوم X در زنان نیز نقش کلیدی دارد، زیرا ژنهای مرتبط با ایمنی روی این کروموزوم قرار دارند و گاه بیان بیشازحد آنها به دلیل نقص در غیرفعالسازی یک X رخ میدهد. بارداری و باقیماندن سلولهای جنینی در بدن مادر (میکروکایمریسم) نیز ممکن است سیستم ایمنی را تحریک کند. زنان پاسخ ایمنی قویتری نسبت به مردان دارند
I wish all my fellow Iranians could have listened to this and learned from your wise words, with it was also in farsi
Amazing
So incredibly powerful and just what I needed to hear today. Thank you
من هم همین مشکل رو دارم
