Best advice out there for women 35 plus

This podcast and the other resources Claudia has are game changing if you are feeling different than you did in your 20s-early 30s and a woman. Run and don not walk to listen to all the advice she provides and advocate for yourself with your Doctor.

Empowering and informative

As I’m getting older I’m realizing that nothing, including our medical system, is designed with women in mind. I know how frustrating it is to try to get doctors to listen and understand what’s going on in my body and still not get the answers I need. So thankful to have access to helpful information through other avenues like this podcast.

Linsey RG ,

Missing link in women’s healthcare

Claudia and her team do a great job of presenting relevant and helpful information. This is information I feel is significantly lacking from my conventional medical providers and has greatly enhanced my well-being. Thank you for your passion and dedication to women's healthcare.
