PAVING® - Thriving through Menopause, Midlife and Beyond
Feel unprepared for menopause? You're not alone. The menopause transition can bring challenging symptoms—including fatigue, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating—but it is also a powerful opportunity for change.
In this 8-week program, Dr. Tollefson will guide you through essential lifestyle medicine approaches to help you effectively manage these physiological changes. Based on the book PAVING a woman's Path Through Menopause and Beyond, (which she co-authored), the program offers updated research and tools to help you reframe this transition. Topics include nutrition, exercise, community, and behavioral interventions for improving sleep and stress, encouraging a healthy body, peaceful mind, and joyful heart.
The book PAVING: A woman's Path Through Menopause and Beyond that Dr. Tollefson co-authored with Drs. Beth Frates and Amy Comander will be used.
A few highlights of what you will learn:
01
The impact of an estrogen decline on the entire body: composition, gut health, and cognition.
02
How to meet yourself exactly where you are in order to make progress.
03
Why is exercise so important? And what does that mean?
