What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the term “menopause”? If it’s hot flashes, night sweats, and crazy emotions all over the place, you’re not alone.

Those are absolutely legitimate. But what if I told you that everything you thought you knew about menopause was completely wrong? For example… what if… estrogen isn’t the “bad guy” we’ve all been led to believe?

In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer this important question… what are the 5 biggest myths about menopause, and what’s the real truth?

To help us answer that question, we’ve got 2 of the world’s top menopause experts, Kristin Johnson, and Maria Claps, who are authors of the new book, “The Great Menopause Myth.”

Kristin and Maria share the truth about menopause that most doctors don’t tell you. This is no longer your mother’s menopause, my friend, so grab your bestie and compare notes. This episode is a doozy.


Together, we will unpack:

• How is estrogen protective over every aspect of our health and not just menstrual cycles and fertility?
• Why are we led to believe that estrogen is dangerous, and should we be afraid of it?
• What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and at what age should we begin thinking about it?
• Is HRT a one-size fits all or do I have options?
• What else can I do in conjunction with HRT, in order to live a healthier and more hormone balanced life?

Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps are the co-founders of the women’s health and hormone education practice, Wise and Well, as well as the Instagram account @wise_and_well_.

Kristin 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.
