Menopause 101 for Men: The Science, Symptoms & How to Support

Most men were never taught what actually happens to a woman’s body during peri and post menopause.
About this Event

And yet, the women in your life are living it.

Mood shifts. Sleep disruption. Weight gain. Anxiety. Brain fog. Loss of libido. Hot flashes. Joint pain. Irritability. Fatigue. Depression. Night sweats. Sudden tears. Sudden anger. A body that no longer responds the way it used to.

This is not random. This is not weakness.And it’s not “just hormones.”

In this practical, science-backed and interactive class, you will learn:

  • What is actually happening to estrogen, progesterone, insulin, and cortisol during perimenopause and menopause
  • The massive scope of physical, mental, and emotional changes she may be experiencing
  • Why traditional dieting and exercise often stop working
  • What she can do to help stabilize hormones
  • The specific types of foods that support detoxification, progesterone, estrogen balance, and gut health

You’ll walk away recognizing:

  • Why she may not feel like herself
  • Why certain conversations suddenly feel harder
  • Why sleep disruption changes everything
  • How to offer support in ways that actually help
  • What she can do nutritionally and metabolically to feel better

This class is not about blaming men. It’s about equipping you.

Because when you understand what is happening inside her body, you’ll realize she hasn’t lost her mind. She’s lost her hormones.
