This presentation identifies natural hormonal transitions and how to support women in staying in balance or returning to balance during hormone fluctuations. Prevention begins with communication, the celebration of menarche and teaching girls to honor and love their bodies. Pre-menopausal imbalance and treatment will evolve around PMS, menstrual migraines, dysmenorrhea and PCOS. There will be a review of the connection between PMS and post-partum depression including both the prevention of post-partum depression and its treatment. The peri-menopausal journey pearls will include a comprehensive look at lifestyle, the importance of taking time to re-evaluate our lives and health, nutritional and botanical interventions as well as an update on hormones, both its safety and prescriptions. Post menopause will include the power of the wise woman, osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and sexuality throughout our lives.
