Dr. Louise Greenspan on Puberty’s Dramatic Shift: Earlier but Not Faster

Over the past two decades, puberty has crept up earlier and earlier, redefining what it means to be “early” or “late.” But why? Is it the food we’re eating? The water we’re drinking? The cosmetics we use? The medications we take? Is it caused by stress? Or screens? If we just had a culprit, we could fix this. Pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Louise Greenspan, author of the lauded book The New Puberty, has the answers.            NOTE: This is one of our longer episodes, but it’s so packed with information and insights, we didn’t want to cut it down. So listen in one sitting or break it up into smaller bits – you won’t regret listening all the way through!   Visit OOMLA to shop thoughtfully designed (OOM)Bras!   Show Notes: http://thenewpuberty.com/    Produced by Dear Media Learn more about your ad choices.
