2024 Curricula
January Curriculum: Fitness in Menopause
In the January 10th session, Jill will cover muscles, metabolism and the chronic cardio problem. Polly will teach how to create new “sticky” habits and maintain motivation to achieve your goals.
February Curriculum: Toxins in Menopause
In the February 7 session, Jill will tackle the problem of plastics, PFAS, and pesticides that are disrupting our hormones and sabotaging our health. Polly will teach us how to quit the toxic thought patterns around aging that degrade our inner peace and accelerate aging/disease.
March Curriculum: Healing Fatigue & Finding Purpose
In the March 6 session, Jill will share a powerful roadmap for getting your natural energy back and keeping it steady and humming from now on.
Peri to post menopause leaves many women feeling flat, directionless and a little unmoored about their future. This notion of not feeling as needed and necessary as we once were, is at once exciting and terrifying too. Many are haunted by big questions like “How will I feel useful? How will I fill my time? What’s my purpose now that one needs a ride to the mall or a hot meal?” On March 6, Polly will lead us in re-imagining our roles and exploring our true purpose for the next stage of life.
April Curriculum: Your Mind on Menopause
The April 3 session will cover hot flashes, forgetfulness, and your foggy brain, as well as the impact of alcohol in menopause, how to take charge of your mind, and much more. Jill teaches us about what the menopausal transitions mean for our brain health and what we can do to build lasting clarity.
Nothing could be more precious to us as our own minds and memories. Polly will teach us how assess our brain function today, and lead us in doing several cognitive challenges designed to keep our brains GROWING (during a time when they are programmed to shrink). Participants will leave feeling empowered, knowing exactly how to protect that treasured grey matter for decades to come.
Polly will also guide us in taking another step around connecting to our purpose in the next stage of life.
