If you are a woman over 40 years old, consider joining us as we learn about perimenopause with Carin Howard, P.A. and Functional Medicine Practitioner. What is perimenopause? In their early 40's, women's hormones start to shift and a "second puberty" starts. This class discusses ways to understand the changes and how to ride the transition's waves. Join us to learn more about what perimenopause means for your health, and your options on how to support your body while in transition. This stage of our lives is meant to be celebrated, not eschewed!
