🎤 Presented by Martha Eskridge from Baldwin Health OBGYN

Midlife is not a breakdown—it’s a biological transition. Women are not broken; their bodies and brains are changing, often in subtle ways that are frequently misunderstood or overlooked.

This informative and empowering discussion explores what’s really happening during perimenopause and beyond. We’ll talk about common hormonal shifts and why many women experience multiple “small” symptoms rather than one dramatic change. 🧠✨ Learn how hormones affect the brain, mood, and mental health—and why midlife symptoms are often hormonal and neurologic, not simply psychological.

We’ll also look at the bigger picture of women’s health in midlife, including:
❤️ Cardiovascular health, the leading cause of death in women
💪 Bone, muscle, and metabolic health, focusing on strength, protein, and hormones—not just the number on the scale
🌿 Personal wellness and comfort, and how midlife changes can affect everyday quality of life
🩺 Hormone therapy, separating myths from evidence-based facts

The session will wrap up with practical, actionable takeaways 📝—including how to track symptoms, prioritize your health concerns, advocate for yourself, and find a clinician who is properly trained in midlife and menopause care.
