You optimized: Hormone balance after 40
6-week series beginning Oct. 19, 2021 ($499)
Are you sick of being told that your symptoms are “normal for your age”?
Changing hormone levels throughout our 40s and 50s can feel unpredictable and chaotic. What seems to be working one day, doesn’t work the next. Things we’ve taken for granted—like good sleep, metabolism, energy, motivation, mood, exercise recovery and libido—are shifting and hard to track. The reality is that the hormone transition we go through in mid-life can be destabilizing and distressing. However, with the right tools, you can avoid the negative symptoms associated with changing hormone levels and move through this transition with ease and optimal health.
Join our BioLounge hormone and functional medicine experts for a 6-week, guided online program designed to empower and educate women about the biochemical changes experienced throughout the transition from childbearing years to perimenopause to menopause and beyond. By building a deep understanding about how the body adapts to shifting sex hormones, women can take control of their wellbeing and make informed decisions about how to optimize:
- Body weight and composition
- Sleep quality
- Mood
- Energy, stamina and motivation
- Libido
- Health and longevity
What’s included:
- 6 weekly, live and recorded 90-minute sessions on Tuesday evenings
- Program guidebook including educational material, resources, action items and tips
- 6-week hormone-balancing nutrition program
