This self-paced course is for women who want clear, trustworthy information about what’s happening in their bodies during the menopause transition. Drawing on both medical expertise and lived experience, Dr. Shana walks you through the basics of hormone physiology, the risks and benefits of hormone therapy, and the practical realities of working with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
You’ll also be invited into a more personal, sister-to-sister conversation as Dr. Shana shares her own journey with hormone therapy—what helped, what didn’t, and what she wishes she’d known sooner. This course is designed to help you make sense of the hormonal roller coaster with less fear and more self-trust, so you can make informed choices that feel right in your body.
As a bonus, we’ve also included Menopause: A Portal to Our Wisdom Years, where Dr. Shana invites you to zoom out and explore menopause as a powerful life threshold—an initiation into deeper self-trust, purpose, and homecoming.
