Overwhelmed by viral wellness trends, influencer β€œstacks,” and a constant stream of mixed messages?

Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and clarity. Grounded in science, research, and clinical experience, expert speakers will offer guidance and wisdom as we tackle hot topics like


THE HORMONE PUZZLE:

Decoding the midlife transition of perimenopause and menopause: understanding how hormone shifts impact your body (and why it matters) and the science-backed essentials of HRT.


METABOLISM 2.0:

Weight gain, metabolic changes, and the use of GLP-1s and other peptides.


MUSCLE AS MEDICINE:

Why muscle maintenance is critical as we age.


FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

How to support our changing bodies and brains through nutrition.


THE QUEST FOR REST:

Why sleep becomes elusive and how to improve it.


STATE OF MIND:

Navigating the psychological shifts of midlife and how this life transition impacts mood, our sense of self, and our relationships.

As part of the Hot Takes experience, all ticket holders will be gifted a complementary red light therapy or cryotherapy session from our sponsor, Restore Hyperwellness Westport and Stamford. Lots of other little surprises and perks await attendees.....
