On my one year anniversary of hosting Forever Fit with Carol Covino, I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate the occasion by having one of the leading authorities on women's health and fitness. Holly Perkins, Author of Lift to Get Lean and Contributor to Women's Health, SELF, Prevention, and Shape, joins me today to talk all things women's health, both from a physiological perspective and a psychological perspective.
