Menopause is a natural process, but we are often not prepared to adapt our lifestyle habits to our changed bodies.

• Are you struggling with the menopause transition physically, mentally or both?
• Are you struggling with sore joints and aching muscles?
• How about sleep issues? Mood swings?
• Fatigue? Hot flashes? Weight gain?
• Is doing what you used to do to stay healthy and fit no longer working?

Learn the latest research and how you can Flourish Through the Menopause Transition. This 8-week series is led by Liz Schenk, BS, MBA. Liz is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist, and a Certified Brain Health Trainer.
