Healthcare providers are on the front lines of supporting the 1.8 million women who enter menopause every year. It’s crucial for providers to understand the profound impact the loss of hormones, particularly progesterone, has on their daily lives.
A woman will spend roughly one-third of her life in this phase, making it essential for providers to recognize these women’s significant roles in our lives. They are corporate leaders, caretakers of families, pillars of communities, and bearers of institutional wisdom. Their ability to navigate this transition effectively will not only influence their own well-being, it will also impact the well-being of the society they support.
By understanding and addressing the hormonal changes they experience, especially the role of progesterone, we can empower these women to continue thriving and leading. This knowledge enables them to mentor the next generation of women, fostering a cycle of wisdom and resilience that benefits our entire community and humanity at large.
Dr McMillan invites you to embrace a forward-thinking approach as this webinar delves into the critical role of progesterone in supporting the health and vitality of perimenopausal and menopausal women.
In this webinar you will learn more about:
- The relationship between progesterone and weight gain during perimenopause and menopause
- The calming and anxiety-reducing effects of progesterone and its role in mental health
- Guidelines on the various forms and dosages of progesterone, including oral, topical, and suppository options
