    Must-listen for all women in this stage of life!
    Thank you Claudia for sharing your heart, knowledge, and expertise on this incredible show! Especially loved episode "Releasing Trauma in Midlife" and the way she and guest Jennifer hit SO much on the nose and speak right to the heart of exactly what I am navigating at this stage of life. Looking forward to future episodes!

    So Insightful
    I have been following Claudia for years on Instagram and was thrilled when I found her podcast. She is so knowledgeable about hormones and as a woman in late perimenopause this is a MUST listen!!
  • BV teacher
    Excellent
    Easy to understand and practical advice!
  • Marién Sarriera
    A Must for Wombens
    I love how Claudia simplifies the topic of hormones and menopause, making it easy, fun and empowering. I was so empowered that I even joined her rescue program because education is the key to advocating for yourself and supporting your body, mind and spirit during the next phase of our cyclical life.
  • Sanitaj
    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.
  • shfnsh
    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.
  • Brimerc
    Wealth of knowledge
    You don’t know what you don’t know! Claudia is an expert and brings her own experience, expertise and heart to educate women on this critical and often scary part of women’s lives.
  • Romanojmr
    My favorite new podcast!!
    Claudia delivers much needed content in a fun and relatable way. Perimenopause is no joke and so many women will benefit from the education she provides. This is now on my weekly must-listen list!!
  • jcfc2019
    Great information for perimenopause!
    As someone who is going through perimenopause I’m excited to learn all about it! Love that the episodes are full of information and not long.
  • JMBR16
    Real, raw & knowledgeable
    Claudia is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve worked with her personally. Taken her course. Follow her on instagram and I’m soooooo excited that she launched this podcast because there are so many women that need her, including me. So excited she’s sharing her knowledge with the world!
  • LindaR6...
    Friendly chat with a smart lady!
    I absolutely love listening to Claudia share all her wisdom, research, and experience in a way that’s easy to process and makes sense of what I’m going through and what’s yet to come. It really is like being on a coffee date with one of my closest friends! She’s fun, supportive, encouraging, and such a great educator. We women are lucky to have such a fantastic resource in her!

    So Amazing!
    Claudia is truly an amazing young woman! Intelligent, knowledgeable, caring and an advocate for anyone who works with her! I’m 62 now and have every symptom she talks about. There are days when I feel like 92! Perimenopause was not kind to be at all! I think the worse symptom for me was losing the hair on top of my head, painful sex, and joint pain! Being a woman is definitely difficult. Wish there had been someone like Claudia advocating for me when I was in perimenopause. Unfortunately, my generation depended on doctors. And sadly doctors were not able to address any of my symptoms, and I suffered in silence! And now at 62 I have other health complications which are debilitating and therefore am not able to take advantage of what Claudia teaches about perimenopause. So, if you’re in perimenopause, listen to Claudia’s podcast and run don’t walk to get her to help you! It may be too late for me, but it’s NOT too late for you! Claudia I wish you nothing but good health, success, happiness and LOVE! Love you! Auntie M 😘♥️
  • Daniela1013
    Educational and Empowering!
    I'm 43 years old and for the past couple of years have been experiencing symptoms just like the ones Claudia mentioned, but had no idea that it could be perimenopause! I also never even considered hormone replacement therapy to address hormone decline and can't wait to hear more about that! I want to feel good as I age and am so glad I found this podcast and look forward to future episodes.
  • Joanna Aug
    Informative and fun
    I’m so excited to listen to this podcast and learn all about women’s hormones and how to get a handle on perimenopause! Claudia always delivers the best information in an easy to understand way so I can’t wait for all these episodes!
