From the Root Up: How What You Drink Is Talking to Your Blood
Host: Kayla Hall-Ransom

Info: Most women have been told their fibroids are a mystery — something to manage, monitor, or surgically remove. But what if the conversation started earlier? What if it started at the cellular level, in the blood, in the body's inflammatory environment — and what if what you put in your body every single day was either feeding the problem or starving it?

Fibroids affect 80% of Black women by age 50 — yet the root causes are rarely addressed. In this session, Kayla Hall-Ransom of City Juicery and The 7° Healing Collective shares how cold-pressed nutrition and holistic blood analysis work together to shift the body's internal environment from fibroid-feeding to healing. This is not a wellness trend. This is cellular truth.
