Most men were never taught what actually happens to a woman’s body during peri and post menopause.
About this Event

And yet, the women in your life are living it.

Mood shifts. Sleep disruption. Weight gain. Anxiety. Brain fog. Loss of libido. Hot flashes. Joint pain. Irritability. Fatigue. Depression. Night sweats. Sudden tears. Sudden anger. A body that no longer responds the way it used to.

This is not random. This is not weakness.And it’s not “just hormones.”

In this practical, science-backed and interactive class, you will learn:

  • What is actually happening to estrogen, progesterone, insulin, and cortisol during perimenopause and menopause
  • The massive scope of physical, mental, and emotional changes she may be experiencing
  • Why traditional dieting and exercise often stop working
  • What she can do to help stabilize hormones
  • The specific types of foods that support detoxification, progesterone, estrogen balance, and gut health

You’ll walk away recognizing:

  • Why she may not feel like herself
  • Why certain conversations suddenly feel harder
  • Why sleep disruption changes everything
  • How to offer support in ways that actually help
  • What she can do nutritionally and metabolically to feel better

This class is not about blaming men. It’s about equipping you.

Because when you understand what is happening inside her body, you’ll realize she hasn’t lost her mind. She’s lost her hormones.

About the teacher:

Barbara Geldert brings over 25 years of experience as both an adult education and K-12 teacher, as well as a corporate trainer. Since 2005, she has also been sharing her expertise as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer.

Barbara is a certified FLAG coach, collaborating closely with renowned expert Dr. Mindy Pelz. The FLAG coaching methodology is inspired by Dr. Pelz's insightful works, "Fast Like a Girl" and "The Menopause Reset." In her coaching role, Barbara helps individuals who have ovaries/uterus, from puberty through post-menopause, to reset and balance their hormones. She offers workshops, webinars, and small group sessions to educate people on how to tailor their eating and exercise habits to better suit their age and menstrual cycle, which can alleviate PMS and menopause symptoms.

In addition, Barbara serves as a licensed Menopause Champion with the Menopause Experts Group in the UK. Through seminars, webinars, workshops, and one-on-one consultations, she supports those navigating peri/post-menopause. Her classes extend to the friends and family of those experiencing menopause, offering insights into the experience and guidance on providing support. She also partners with corporations to inform employees about menopause, explaining the physiological and psychological changes involved and advising on how best to support affected colleagues.
