Description

Menopause is not easy but the good news is we have people like Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz on our side. Through her menopause bootcamps she is here to proclaim menopause is a time of celebration and her menopause bootcamps are a part of reclaiming that journey. 

In this episode we’re talking with Dr. Suzanne about why she wants women to know their options, feel empowered, feel the love of community and create opportunities to move into that next part of their life with tools that make sense for them.  Her tools are evidence based and also based on good common sense.  When it comes to her Menopause Boot Camp and certification program, she has no less than world domination in mind.

In this episode we’re talking about…

• How menopause does bring a grief around fertility, regardless if we wanted more (or any) children or not 
• The Gen X perspective of muscling through and why instead we need to ask for support 
• The medicine is actually in the community, this is why we need to get together 
• Why Agitation is hormonal for sure however, it’s also a developmental phase where we are seeing ourselves and seeing our place on the planet differently and we are recognizing our own power
• Why menopause is a DEI issue and companies need to create an environment to support us so we can leverage our wisdom, we can be more productive, be able to speak about what we need with safety. 
• We need to educate, support and create a solution and space for women to understand themselves 
• How a doctor’s empathy and humbleness can make all the difference in the way we’re treated regardless if they’re male or female 

“So my Menopause Boot Camp and certification program, I have no less than world domination in mind. I want people to feel what their options are, feel empowered, feel the love of community and create opportunities to move into that next part of their life with tools that make sense for them, that are evidence based, but are also based in common sense.”
