Description
Perimenopause can be a challenging time, but with the right approach, it doesn’t have to be. In this two-hour webinar, internationally recognized naturopathic doctor and bestselling author Lara Briden will guide you through the complexities of perimenopause as a neurological and metabolic transition, not just a hormonal one. Lara, author of the acclaimed Hormone Repair Manual and Metabolism Repair for Women, has over 25 years of experience helping women navigate this critical phase.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the hormonal changes of perimenopause impact the brain and metabolism, triggering symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and weight gain. Lara will break down the science behind the loss of GABAergic tone, choline deficiency, and insulin resistance and how these changes become a tipping point for the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.
This course will provide you with practical, actionable strategies – ranging from nutritional interventions to hormone therapy - allowing you to effectively manage symptoms and set the foundation for better lasting health in your patients. Join us to learn the latest approaches to supporting women through perimenopause and beyond, ensuring lasting wellness and vitality.
