If you’re new here, welcome! 👋🏾
And if you’ve been here for a while, I’m glad you’re still on your journey with me.💕

Midlife and menopause can feel confusing, isolating, or even a little scary when your body starts changing and you don’t have language for any of it. That’s why this space exists.

I became a coach because I lived the confusion…
the symptoms…🥵
the silence…🤐
and the feeling of being completely unprepared.🤯

Now I teach women the science, the strategy, and the support I wish I had from the beginning.

If you’re ready to understand what’s happening with your hormones and create a plan that aligns with your midlife health goals, you’re in the right place.

Stick around.
Ask questions.
Engage.
You deserve to feel strong, clear, and supported in this chapter of your life.

Too many women have been told that midlife is the start of decline, but the truth is that it’s the perfect time to restore, rebuild, and rise stronger than ever.💪🏽

That’s exactly what I’ll be talking about with Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN, MJ, a hormone health educator and women’s health advocate with over 30 years of experience in healthcare.

Together, we’ll explore how the principles of Lifestyle Medicine: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, avoiding risky substances and social connection, They work hand in hand with hormone health to protect your heart, brain, and bones through every stage of menopause.

💡 You’ll learn:
🏋🏽‍♀️ How muscle, metabolism, and mindset work with your hormones (not against them).
🩸 What to know about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), so you can make confident, informed decisions for your body.
🌿 And why lifestyle choices are the MOST powerful form of hormone support you have.

Midlife is your next chapter. Why not make it restorative.

Join us Thursday at 6:30 PM ET for an empowering conversation that blends lifestyle medicine and hormone education, because when you understand your body, you can finally let it work for you.

❤️‍🔥Your heart deserves as much attention as your hormones.

As estrogen begins to decline in midlife, women silently lose a layer of natural cardiovascular protection and can have early changes in your heart, arteries, and blood vessels.

Let’s be honest… pelvic health isn’t a topic most women were raised to talk about openly. But when it comes to midlife, what we don’t talk about can quietly affect how we move, rest, laugh, and live.
