Hormones and Menopause: The Basics - IN-PERSON CLASS

In this interactive class, you will learn a broad overview of how hormones directly impact menopause and its symptoms.

We discuss how hormones ebb and flow throughout life for people born with a uterus/ovaries. We review how the reproductive hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) interact with each other and how the hormones insulin, cortisol an oxytocin affect reproductive hormones. This is called the "hormone hierarchy".

If we aren't proactive in keeping our hormones in balance, their fluctuation and decline as we age bring on symptoms of peri-menopause and post-menopause. We talk through what potential symptoms are -- it is way more than hot flashes, moodiness and weight gain. Symptoms can also include tooth loss, vaginal atrophy, incontinence, candida and so much more. Awesome, right?! NOT!

We will wrap up with an overview of how to mitigate symptoms.

This class is intended for people born with a uterus/ovaries. There is a separate class for partners, siblings, and others born without a uterus/ovaries who would like to learn how to support those they know going through menopause.

For a deeper dive into hormones, peri-menopause, post-menopause and strategies to mitigate symptoms look for additional classes at The Chattery.
