  • The sound is hard to listen to

    Ruth needs to get a better microphone or else hold it further away from her face because it sounds very loud and distorted and it makes it impossible to listen to. Listen back to your podcasts the sound sounds like it's being blasted out of an old speaker.

  • Poor audio quality

    The quality of the audio is a challenge with this pod. It is crackly, volume is so up & down. I want to listen but it is rough.

  • Midlife wellness education at its best

    This podcast pulls back the curtain on so many aspects of our health that no one ever taught us in an easy to understand, relatable way. When it comes to health and weight loss, if you’ve tried everything and failed or the things you’ve tried over and over again don’t work anymore, or never really stuck, Ruth shares her knowledge of the things that actually do. A must listen if you’re midlife and finally ready to do what really works.

  • It all makes so much sense now!

    As a woman in her 40’s I so appreciate Ruth sharing her knowledge of her science based research geared specifically to women just like me. It’s motivational and inspiring. I’ve learned so much! My favorite episode is The Science of Sugar Addiction
