Just a quick reminder – this online event starts TODAY – Menopause is a Trip: Travel First Class, hosted by my colleague, Holistic Health Coach Katherine Miller.

I am happy to invite you to this online event that will bring together 16 experts in women’s health and balancing hormones that will help you find relief from menopausal symptoms and enjoy a healthy, vital future.

Here is an excerpt from a recent article Katherine wrote:

Every woman goes through menopause, yet very few prepare for it. This natural shift of our biology, from reproductive potential to what I call the “self-creative” stage, is a potent time for women. So much of our energy is freed up for new ventures, including our own self-development.

Yet rather than enjoy menopause as a time of positive potential, most women find themselves struggling to cope with the hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, exhaustion and host of other symptoms for which “the change” is known. The problem is that rather than practicing good self-care, most of us have been pushing ourselves past our limits for years. We begin the 10+ year transition into menopause when our resources are at their lowest, which causes natural hormonal shifts to be unnaturally dramatic or even hellish.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. “Lifestyle is so under-rated as a preventive measure in staying well–stress reduction, sleep, exercise, eating well,” says Dr. Mache Seibel, a professor at UMass Medical School, who focuses on perimenopause and menopause. “There has to be an awareness of ‘How can I take care of myself?’”

Even those whose symptoms of exaggerated hormonal imbalance have become impossible to ignore have more choices than they may realize. “It’s just quite incredible how food choices, lifestyle choices, good quality sleep, detoxifying our environment, taking care of the gut, and taking care of the liver can have some really profound impacts on our hormones,” says health coach Magdalena Wszelaki.

Dr. Mache Seibel and health coach Magdalena Wszelaki are speakers on the summit and I support everything they say!

My talk is today and the focus is anxiety …. “Your key nutrients to end anxiety and stress during menopause.” I talk about:

low GABA and low serotonin and the connection to low progesterone and estrogen
how important adrenal support is when you go into menopause
key nutrients like zinc and vitamin B6 – for anxiety, pyroluria and hormone balance
why grass-fed red meat is good (really!!) – zinc, iron, omega-3s and more
and why skipping the coffee is a good thing!

Also hear Dr. Tami Meraglia today. She is an integrative MD, and author of the soon-to-be-released book called The Hormone Secret (I have my advance review copy and it’s good!) and one of my favorite hormone docs (and a good friend who I adore)!

And do catch the rest of the excellent line-up through the week.

To entice you and give you a feel for what is to come, here are some tweets with quotes from many of the speakers.
