    233. Low vs High Dose Menopause Hormone Therapy - Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps

    Maria Claps is an FDN practitioner (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition), and Kristin Johnson is an NTP (Nutritional Therapy Practitioner's Training) Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. They discovered that when they combine both individualized nutrition AND lifestyle changes tailored to a midlife woman's needs that includes mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education, it’s a magic recipe that helps women thrive so that they can stop, reverse or prevent their health from spinning out of control.  Together they wrote their first baby book "The Great Menopause Myth", which I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of before the interview. And it’s great. It will be one of my bibles to refer to over and over again.
