About the Workshop

Reframing the Menopause Conversation: Self-Care during Perimenopause & Beyond - What You Can Do NowThis workshop is taught by Dr. Ginger Garner PT, DPT, ATC/L and Lisa Johnson, RD. 

Note: The replay of this workshop course will be available to you for 3 months after purchase.

Says former TV personality, Stacy London on a recent Oprah interview, "Nothing and no one had prepared me for the physical and emotional changes I was experiencing (in menopause)."

She goes on to say, "I believe menopause is stigmatized because it’s associated with being the gateway to aging. And our culture continues to allow women to believe that age comes with a value judgment: young = good; old = bad." 

This workshop is here to bust myths and shake down the stigma surrounding menopause, so you can live your BEST life. 

Women experience major transitions during midlife. It begins with the physical changes of perimenopause, but it doesn't stop there. A cascade of changes take place as a result of menopause, which can include mental and emotional changes. The good news is you don't have to be a victim of midlife changes! There are things you can do right now to avoid and prevent the unwanted changes that many women experience, including weight gain (menopause belly), interuppted sleep, low energy, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and more. In this webinar we will explore pillars in Functional, Integrative, & Lifestyle Medicine that will help you maintain and/or improve your health and wellbeing in order to live life to fullest - at any age.

"Menopause is an ending, yes, but not the end. It’s a transition. It is Mother Nature’s biological fail-safe for you to stop, pause, and recenter your focus to take care of yourself. It is the opportunity to safeguard the long life in front of you. It is the opportunity to listen to your body and honor the changes taking place. But more than that, I believe it can and should be a time for reclamation of ourselves on our own terms, outside of cultural expectation, outside of the notion that our value is derived solely from fertility, or youth, or “beauty” as it is defined through the patriarchy. Perhaps puberty is the gateway to socialization and sexualization, even objectification. But what if menopause is the gateway to self-actualization? For me, it has been—and it was hard-won. Reveling in who I am and who I’m becoming isn’t selfishness. Age has taught me who I am." ~ Stacy London, former TV personality turned founder and CEO
