Today’s podcast episode features not only one, but TWO powerhouse women – Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps.
Kristin and Maria are the co-founders of the women’s health and hormone education practice Wise + Well, and they’re co-authors of their recent book, The Great Menopause Myth. Together, Kristen and Maria have developed a deep specialty in perimenopause and menopause health through their clinical mentorships with multiple medical doctors and naturopaths specializing in hormone replacement therapy.
In addition, they’ve both completed advanced training in various functional testing modalities, which they actively use in their robust clinical practice, educating and helping midlife women. They believe that the second chapter in life doesn’t mean you have to feel less than ‘optimal’ – they’re passionate about working with women who want to THRIVE in mid-life!
In today’s episode, we’re discussing the many nuances that affect women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. We’re diving into topics like hormone testing and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the recent testosterone ‘craze’, the importance of finding a reliable provider/practitioner to support you, IUDS and birth control, and much more.
As women, we can no longer outsource our health to other people. We MUST become educated, empowered, and be our own advocate. Our hormones are an incredibly powerful piece of the puzzle; they affect everything happening within our bodies, so it’s vital that we pay attention to what’s working well (and what isn’t so much).
This conversation is packed with sooo much valuable insight to help you navigate your mid-life journey (and beyond), and really equip you with the necessary tools to support your long-term health and wellness!

Lots of Love,
I'm a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Holistic Health Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and owner of an integrative virtual wellness clinic that has helped hundreds of women on their journey to optimal health.
I know from my own personal health journey that it's possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn't take the time to understand the "why" behind my symptoms. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.
Now I'm here to help you do the same!
