Jump on in with us, water’s real warm and clammy...

By 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in the stage of menopause and by 2030, the market is projected to grow to more than $24 billion. The problem? This field has been largely ignored, research has solely been conducted on males, and women suffering for years have felt invisible, isolated and given no resources to aide them in the latter stages of life.

Join us for a timely conversation on all things Pre, Peri, Early and Late Menopause as we get clear on the symptoms we know and avoidantly look past, and the mechanisms in which we can navigate to the promiseland with nutrition, lifestyle, hormone replacement therapy and answers to questions like: "Is this stress, bad choices or am I in early menopause?"

We have come too far to accept things like: insomnia, dry vag, hostile sex drive, extra chin hairs...a couple friendly night sweats... as just a “thing that happens because are women.” Hell no. These are also major signals in our body that ultimately lead to the onset of life-altering diseases like dementia, osteoporosis, cancer, etc.

Dr. Kamilia Smith joins us for Part 1 of our Menopause Miniseries to guide us through the ages and stages, and how integrating these inevitable hormonal shifts through lifestyle, nutrition and a solid physical and mental foundation (along with breakthrough therapies like HRT) will lead toward a happy and healthier lifespan. Her practice Charleston House Gynecology in Dallas, Texas is dedicated to women in menopause and the knowledge she shares on this topic is profound and most importantly, actionable.

This is such an important moment in our history.

Watch and listen, so we can play the long game together.
