But she decided to take control and launched a line of products to optimize health called, State of Menopause. She believes we can be too hard on ourselves as we see ourselves changing—like our bodies, our faces. Stacy shares how to take time out to really recognize and appreciate the other changes we’ve experienced—our personal growth, our wisdom, and our widened perspectives and truly love our age.

Got Meno Brain? Managing Brain Fog, Anxiety and Mood Swings
Speaker:
Dr. Anju Mathur, MD, Angel Medical Longevity Center

Maybe you’ve already had frustrating episodes with your memory and you’re wondering…Am I losing my mind? A particular type of memory known as “working memory” — your ability to assimilate and manipulate new information — does not perform as well as usual during menopause. If you're feeling sad, anxious, or stressed, research shows there’s a brain-hormone connection and the good news is there are fixes for improving mental sharpness.

Feel Better in Minutes! Simple Solutions for the Body, Brain and Gut
Speaker
Julie E, MPH, RD, Julie E Heath
- Digestive system problems such as heartburn, gas, bloating and constipation reflect what’s happening throughout your body. As we age, the natural cycles slow down and don’t work as well. The main drivers of gut health change are shifts in stomach acid, gut immunity and gastrointestinal flora—the complex ecosystem of bacteria in your digestive system. When gut health is good, you’re less likely to experience damaging inflammation and lapses in immunity. You discover protecting your digestive system is not just about diet.

Movement, the Weight Gain Changer
Speaker:
Erich Nall, International Fitness Guru
- It’s very simple; As we age, we lose muscle mass. As we lose muscle mass, our metabolism slows. As our resting metabolic rate slows, we gain weight. Your metabolism is the process your body uses to make and burn energy from food. You rely on your metabolism to breathe, think, digest, circulate blood, keep warm in the cold, and stay cool in the heat. By age 50, our metabolism slows down by as much as 25% and a lot of mid-life weight gain happens because we become less active so how do we increase calorie burn to last as long as your workout? And how to we need to eat a variety of healthy foods that fill you up without filling you out?
