Welcome to the Wellness MD MenoHealth 101 online course!

Menopause is a natural part of life that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. During menopause, our bodies begin producing less estrogen and progesterone, which are key hormones associated with the menstrual cycle and fertility. This transition can take place over the course of several months or even years and doesn’t always indicate a sudden halt to all things menstruating.

Although menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and sleep disturbances can be difficult to manage, menopause can also have many benefits- including a reduced risk for some types of cancer. The menopausal stage is an important time in a woman's life, and it pays off to be informed on ways to prepare for and cope with its effects.

This course is designed to help you learn about menopause and its associated symptoms, as well as provide you with tools and resources for managing them. I know that menopause can be challenging, and I want to ensure that you have the support and guidance you need to make it through this life stage.

In this course, you'll learn about:

1. The fundamentals of menopause.

2. What your treatment options are.

3. Everything about Sleep, Stress and Sex in menopause.

4. Developing coping strategies for dealing with common issues associated with

menopause.

5. Strategies for living your healthiest life during and post menopause.

I just love this quote by Oprah Winfrey! I frequently see women who feel that menopause is the end of not just menstruation but a former self.

Oprah said “so many women I’ve talked to see menopause as an ending. I’ve discovered that this is your moment to reinvent yourself after years of focusing on the needs of everyone else.”

I hope that by the end of this course, you will feel better informed, more in control and empowered to make changes in your life that will improve your overall health during your menopausal journey. Let's get started!
