Lisa Mosconi PhD, renowned neuroscientist with over 200 published papers, says: Menopause is having a moment. She\u2019s right, and she\u2019s written the book to meet that moment. The Menopause Brain, a book being celebrated around the world. Gen X has arrived mid-life, with all the state-of-flux symptoms that come with peri-menopause and menopause and said: Enough! Why are we not talking about this? Why are we being gaslit in Dr\u2019s offices for our symptoms and being offered multiple medications for anxiety, depression and pain, but not having a conversation about what might help us far more, due to outdated medical research claims of overblown HRT risks? We also have been robbed of the exciting potential for embracing the rite of passage into a new chapter, from a spiritual and personal growth perspective. We discuss: 

• Menopause is not a disease, and it\u2019s not just \u2018aging\u2019 - it is a neuro-endocrine transition: A biological event
• What\u2019s happening during this transition and why sex hormones aren\u2019t just sex hormones
• The risks that increase from midlife for women including a discussion around Alzheimer\u2019s Disease
• The benefits of \u2018getting to the other side\u2019 from a resilience and cognition perspective. 
• Was HRT risk \u2018fear\u2019 in the late 20th Century overblown? 
• Lifestyle considerations to support us during our transition
• Validation for your own experience: A critical piece in the transition
