Episode 298: Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast.


Kristin Johnson is a functional nutritionist with advanced
training in holistic nutrition and a specialty in peri-menopause
and menopause health. She is Board Certified in Holistic
Nutrition, a certified DUTCH hormone test practitioner, and a
graduate of the Nutritional Therapy Association’s Functional
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program. She completed a
professional mentorship with naturopathic endocrinologist Dr.
Rebecca Provorse in 2020 and is half—along with her partner,
Maria—of the health coaching business, Wise and Well.


Maria Claps is a functional health coach with a specialty in
peri-menopause and menopause. She graduated from The Institute
for Integrative Nutrition in 2013 and then went on to study in a
hormone program for practitioners with Dr Sara Gottfried in 2014.
She completed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification
Program and, in 2017, completed the Menopause Method Program for
Physicians with Dr David Rosensweet. She has been personally
mentored by hormone scholar Dr Lindsey Berkson and naturopathic
endocrinologist Dr Rebecca Provorse. She now mentors other health
coaches and nutritionists to help them understand the unique and
profound hormone changes of midlife.


In this conversation, Tro, Brian, Kristin, and Maria talk about
how Kristin and Maria met and founded Wise and Well, why Kristin
transitioned from being an attorney to working in nutrition, how
Kristin and Maria approach treating menopausal and
peri-menopausal women, the place and purpose of various hormones
in women’s health, the effects of stress and spirituality on
hormonal and metabolic health, and the deficiencies of the
standard practice of medicine and coaching.
