We covered  Myths and truths of menopause.  Menopause experiences and HRT use across the globe How aging and menopause are intertwined The different voices of menopause and what’s the best way to approach it Is hormone deficiency a thing and is it good or bad? Why menopause is such a mystery to so many women The truth about Bi-Est as a menopause treatment How to empower yourself through this journey 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. These two ladies are both friends and practitioners who are so passionate about women's health, especially women's health at midlife. And over the years they've refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both their clinical and personal experience.  So what they have discovered is 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.

Rowan Sanderson had a successful career working in the financial district of London for 15 years before experiencing a spectacular burn out, break down and then a renaissance. It was during this medieval dark age of life that he found Functional medicine and realized that not only would it hold the key to unlocking his own health issues, but there wasn't anyone who DID NOT need it in their lives.  Rowan has 7 years retraining in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, several other schools of nutrition and then health coaching before studying Functional Medicine with the one and only Chris Kresser at the CIFM (now Kresser Institute). Rowan was one of the first practitioners to embrace the DUTCH test in Europe over 10 years ago and has consistently used this, learnt and evolved from the lab findings and insights.  Up to 35% discount on a year’s subscription to the Renewal community.
