Dive into fresh ideas and real talk about taking women's health to the next level with prevention at the forefront.
The Prevention Window: A New Era of Women's Health
Menopause is not just a hormonal transition. It is a cardiovascular one.
During midlife, many women begin to notice symptoms like fatigue, palpitations, breathlessness, disrupted sleep, or anxiety. These are often dismissed as "just menopause."
But beneath the surface, important changes are also taking place in the cardiovascular system — changes that can shape long-term health if not properly understood.
This educational session is designed to bring clarity to what is happening in the body during this transition, and how women can take a more informed, prevention-focused approach to their health.

Why This Conversation Matters
For decades, women's cardiovascular health has been under-recognized and often misunderstood.
Menopause represents a unique opportunity — a "prevention window" — where early action can meaningfully influence future health outcomes.
This session will help you better understand your body, ask the right questions, and take control of your health with confidence.
