Mood Mental Health & Menopause

When progesterone begins to fluctuate, and then decline, perimenopause, one of the first things we may notice is changes to our mood. But as many of us can relate, this overlaps MANY other things in our life: from career and caring for family to navigating changes such as relationships, grief and other health conditions. So how do begin to find and treat the root cause?

It can be paralyzing not to know where to begin, and confusing to know just where to start! This webinar will provide clarity of definitions, common experiences so you can recognize when it’s time to speak with your doctor—and you’ll even walk away with some new “script tips” for your next health appointment!

Menopause: It’s Different Now

One of the biggest gaps in women’s health is that we were never taught the roles & responsibilities of our hormones when cycles are regular—which makes it challenging for us to make a health plan for when they are not!

This gap has impacted our ability to access the health care we need and deserve. It is impacting the quality of women’s lives today—as well as their heart, brain, bone & genitourinary health for the next 3-5 decades.

The good news? We are closing that gap…

All info is evidence-based and up-to-date, and delivered in a way that is very easy to understand. You will walk away with exactly what you need to know in order to navigate perimenopause-to-menopause-to-postmenopause with more confidence & ease.

Best Breast Health: What you need to know on your perimenopause-to-postmenopause journey

Quality, evidence-based information, is so important in order for you to feel more confident when discussing your breast health, and overall health, with your doctor. Shirley will discuss:

  • Understanding Breast Tenderness: Explore the breast health experiences linked to hormone fluctuations & decline
  • Discussing Breast Cancer Risk: Incidence rates vs personal risk for breast cancer are two different things. Get clarity on which factors may contribute to a breast cancer risk conversation.
  • Hormone Therapy Insights: Understand hormone therapy's role in women’s health at menopause & beyond, and exactly what the evidence says about hormone therapy and breast cancer
  • Breast Density Awareness: Discover what breast density means, and how you and your doctor can collaborate for the best health outcomes!

+ You’ll even walk away with some “script tips” you can take to your next appointment!

Perimenopause Primer

All the “P” words: periods, progesterone, perimenopause, prepare and PLAN! Perimenopause means our body is preparing for the end of ovulation, reproduction and menstruation. Shirley reviews what you need to know about hormone fluctuation and decline, common experiences and what to prioritize.
