Over the past few weeks I've released my seven-part YouTube series 'How Do We Lose Fat?' (Ruston's Boneyard Podcast Episodes 1-7). It was always my intention to support the series with input from clinicians and researchers. In the first of these interviews I'm thrilled and privileged to welcome Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps from Wise And Well.

Kristin and Maria are experts on women's midlife health, a goldmine of information on the symptoms and effects of peri-menopause and menopause. Considering the significant role of sex hormones in fat loss, their contribution is essential, not only in the context of the series, but in general.

And this isn't just one for the girls. Declining hormones, both female and male, affect us as couples, and we need to tackle them as couples. The more we understand about what each other are dealing with, the better we can deal with things together.

If you want to contact Kristin and Maria directly, check out their website www.wiseandwell.me and find them on Instagram @wise_and_well.
