Menopause Support Online Class

Big Picture Menopause Support 
with Maria Noël Groves, Clinical Herbalist & Author

Intermediate/advanced herb students and clinical herbalists.

I have semi-jokingly considered calling this class...
It's Not Your Fault
Menopause Sucks
Here's What We Can Do About It
(But that's not a very herbalist-of-me title!)

Seriously, though, perimenopause and post-menopause can be a rough time for many of us born with ovaries, whether naturally occurring or due to hysterectomy (and or oophorectomy) or other intervention. I come to this via personal experience as well as clinical experience - the bulk of my client load has always been peri-post menopausal folks.

Peri and post-menopause is a natural transition time in our lives that can be beautiful and herald important, life-affirming changes in our lives. But, unfortunately, with the hormonal fluctuations and drop offs associated with peri- and post-menopause, we can experience a wide range of obvious and less obvious issues:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Vaginal dryness and atrophy
• Increased susceptibility to stress, anxiety, and other mood issues
• Sleep disturbances (beyond just the night sweats), such as waking 4 hours after falling asleep, unable to return to sleep
• Increased risk of inflammation
• Reduced overall skin and connective tissue vitality
• Increased risk of bone loss
• Increased risk for autoimmune diseases, especially hypothyroid and other thyroid disorders
• Increased risk for sleep apnea
• Increased risk for blood sugar instability, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes
• Increased risk for weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, and more difficulty with weight loss
• Increased risk for cardiovascular disease as well as arrhythmia, racing heart, tachycardia, etc.
• Increased risk of menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, migraines, anemia, and other unpleasantries during perimenopause
• Low libido and sexual dysfunction
• Increased risk for hormone-dependent cancers
• Increased overall constitutional dryness 

In this class, we'll cover some core concepts around herbal and natural menopause support, including...

• The how and why hormonal fluctuations (particularly wobbling and reduced estrogen and progesterone) affect a wide range of diseases and body systems
• Why folks in the United States living more Western lifestyles seem to be more plagued with negative menopause systems
• Core overall support
• Specific favorite herbs and differentials 
• Considerations for how to encourage and celebrate the beauty and benefits of this natural transition time and next phase of our lives
