25ME24 - Intensive: Menopause as a Neuroinflammatory and Hormonal Event

Speaker: Wendy Warner, MD, ABIHM, IFMCP

For a very long time, the focus around menopause has been hormone balancing.  This is important, but it misses so much!  Menopausal changes are instigated by hormone shifts, yes, but not confined to them.  Our brains re-wire themselves and our immune function goes into hyperdrive.  Both of these responses are driven by inflammation.  In our time together during this workshop, we'll review the current science of menopausal changes, from brain chemistry (including our understanding of the genesis of hot flashes) to shifts in immune drivers and how to modulate all of it.  We'll review the beauty of traditional forms of herbal therapies for the change and how they, without realizing it, often "covered" areas we now find as vital to women traversing this time.  We'll also focus on additional avenues of balancing that will help women feel more themselves and avoid long term health outcomes.
