Overview:
Are you or your clients noticing shifts in mood, motivation, or mental clarity as you transition through perimenopause or menopause? In this 1-hour webinar, you’ll discover how hormonal changes, especially declining estrogen, affect the brain and its neurotransmitters. These shifts can disrupt emotional balance and contribute to symptoms like depression, brain fog, irritability, anger, and rage.
Through evidence-based insights, you’ll learn practical strategies to support your/your client’s mood, regulate emotions, and regain clarity during this stage of life. Join us to understand the science behind the midlife brain and explore tools to reset, restore, and thrive with confidence and resilience.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the session, the participant will be able to:
- Explain how hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause, particularly low estrogen, affect brain chemistry and neurotransmitters linked to mood, memory, and emotional regulation.
- Identify common symptoms of midlife brain changes such as brain fog, depression, irritability, and emotional dysregulation and understand their biological basis.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to support mood, improve mental clarity, and build resilience during perimenopause and menopause.
