Summer has officially started at Minimize the Pause! That means expanded appointment availability. If you’ve been struggling with perimenopause or menopause symptoms, now is the time to schedule! Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, decreased s*x drive and joint pain are all common during this life transition. If you’re struggling to decipher all the mixed messages you’re getting about treatment options, I can help you make sense of it all. As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I follow The Menopause Society’s evidence-based guidelines with a focus on patient education and individualized treatment.

We had a wild and crazy Galentines Menopause Party last night! I’m still laughing about some of the conversations! I love the community that women provide for each other. It’s inspiring!

Day 4: I started while it was still dark, but finished in the daylight! I’m totally exhausted and think I have reached max saturation so I decided to take 20 minutes to sit by the pool and respond to patient messages before dinner. Tidbits from today, you ask? I was totally psyched to see TWO presentations on group menopause care. UCLA School of Medicine collaborated with Centering Healthcare Institute to create a Centering Menopause curriculum that is being revised and hoped to (eventually) be publicly available! Lisa Taylor-Swanson at University of Utah College of NURSING presented her MENOGap group care model during a main plenary session. Love this!

Bonus! Look at this awesome group of midwives I met this morning, who provide menopause care all over the country!

Day 3 highlights: weight gain presentations, bone health presentations, and poster presentations which support (at least to me!) the value of menopause parties and being in community with others about the lived experiences of menopause. Also Dr. Garrison had a fascinating talk on extending healthspan and recommended that DIET & EXERCISE are STILL the best medications to combat aging. (I say as I sit and drink my milkshake and eat my breaded chicken sandwich…)

Day 2 of The Menopause Society conference…all about perimenopause in the morning. Tidbit from the morning session - combined oral contraceptive pills are effective in treating vasomotor symptoms and preserving bone health! Also, Jen Gunter was fantastic!

Day 1 of The Menopause Society conference in the books. A great special session on Female Sexual Health. Interesting tidbit from Dr. Susan Davis’ presentation - fluctuations in blood levels of testosterone are not related to natural menopausal stage but rather to age. Levels seem to decrease from age 18 to 62 but see a slight increase in the mid-60’s! Go Cougs!

We had another fun Menopause Party this week. We were too busy laughing to remember to take a picture, so you’ll have to take my word for it! The samples were gone and the body had estrogen “pinned” all over it!
