Busting Common Menopause Myths: Empowering Your Journey Through Midlife and Beyond with Ginger Garner

Women’s Health

Struggle with mood swings, sleep disturbances, low energy, irregular periods, poor sexual health, and/or weight gain?

These could be symptoms linked to menopause – even if you’re in your 30s. 

Most women don’t know that the journey through menopause often unfolds over decades. If you are 35-37, you are in the perimenopause window, long before your menstrual periods change. 

As women progress through perimenopause and into menopause, additional symptoms pile on: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, joint pain, and cognitive changes.

But did you know that there is much new knowledge available now on how we can navigate this transformative journey with confidence and vitality? 

Join us for an online course with women’s health specialist Dr. Ginger Garner, PT, DPT, ATC-Ret, and learn how to enrich your journey through menopause, no matter what stage of life you are in.

Historically, women have been misled into believing that menopausal symptoms are inevitable hardships,” notes Dr. Garner. “Fortunately, new advancements in hormone replacement therapy offer a wealth of options for thriving during perimenopause and post-menopause.”

Healthcare practices have often neglected to recommend pelvic physical therapy for common menopausal complications like urinary or bowel leakage, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse. 

This course aims to rectify this oversight by shedding light on prevalent menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, weight gain, digestive issues, low energy, decreased libido, joint pain, and mood fluctuations.

Dr. Garner emphasizes the importance of early identification of symptoms for proactive management.

By delving into evidence-based care utilizing Functional, Integrative, Lifestyle Medicine, and Pelvic Physiotherapy, this course equips participants with the knowledge to navigate perimenopause and menopause confidently. 

A key component of this crse is exploring the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Recent research has shed new light on the potential benefits of HRT, revealing that generations of women may have been unnecessarily deprived of estrogen due to the misinterpretation of the groundbreaking Women’s Health Initiative Study.

When used properly, HRT can not only improve vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes but also provide important long-term health benefits. 

However, many physicians, including gynecologists, are not well-trained in menopause or hormone therapy, making it challenging for mid-life women to access accurate information and make informed health decisions. This course bridges that gap, empowering women with the knowledge they need to advocate for their well-being.

In addition to HRT, the course highlights the role of yoga in managing and improving menopausal symptoms. By incorporating a sustainable yoga-based self-care routine, women can cultivate resilience and balance during this transformative period.

Throughout the course, learn to identify perimenopausal symptoms for proactive management and disease prevention, understand the importance of specific lab tests, and discover methods for nutritional support to help regulate hormones and sleep. The course also addresses the stages of stress (SOS) and provides strategies for effective stress management.

By the end of this transformative journey, you will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate menopause with grace and vitality. This course serves as a beacon of empowerment, guiding women through the challenges and opportunities of midlife and beyond.

In This Workshop, You’ll Learn to:

  • Identify perimenopausal symptoms for proactive management and disease prevention
  • What labs are important and why 
  • Make your genes work for you instead of against you 
  • Why blood glucose and adrenal support can’t be left out of menopause management 
  • Methods for nutritional support to help regulate hormones and sleep 
  • The stages of stress (SOS) and how to manage them  
  • Build a sustainable yoga-based self-care routine for perimenopause & beyond 
  • Advocate for yourself to know when you are getting good care

This Course Also Includes

  • Recorded Yoga Practice Video: Enjoy a yoga practice that Ginger has created for this course.
  • Recordings of Both Sessions: Yours to keep. It’s generally acknowledged that many people only retain 10-20 percent of what they learn in a workshop. You will get the recordings of both sessions (MP3 -downloadable & MP4–streaming online), enabling you to go back and listen to the workshop as many times as you like.
  • Transcripts of Both Sessions: Ever wanted to refer to a certain part of a course? Even the best note takers miss a point every so often. With the transcripts of the sessions, you can go back and refer to particularly important passages or clarify sections you were in doubt about.

This course qualifies for 5 CEs.

I wanted to expand on my thank you. Yoga U Online has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I moved from a yoga mecca to a yoga desert. Instead of having my choice of teachers and styles and special workshops, I now have to travel an hour to take a class. The excellent teachers and interesting topics at Yoga U Online have kept me moving ahead in my practice. I am grateful for all the wonderful yoga you bring to me. Thank you.
