Join us for the second event of the 
Lexington Women's Health Speaker Series
, following January's sold-out 
Menopause Therapies Unlocked
, where we’ll dive deep into 
proactive strategies for disease prevention
 in midlife.
This event will explore chronic conditions affecting midlife women as hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause increase vulnerability to health imbalances.
Are you noticing changes in your health—rising blood sugar, inflammation, blood pressure, or cholesterol? Struggling 
with low energy, weight issues, brain fog
, decreasing fitness, or other midlife shifts? Have you been diagnosed with a chronic condition and want to address the root causes? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.
This engaging panel discussion will feature 
expert speakers
 sharing evidence-based insights on how to prevent and manage chronic diseases through lifestyle changes.
Learn from local health professionals:
Lifestyle medicine for cancer prevention
Optimizing blood sugar for metabolic health
Nutrition, movement and mental resilience for cardiovascular health
Hormones, Health & Longevity
This event is for midlife women who want 
actionable steps
 to take charge of their health, prevent chronic diseases, and feel empowered in their bodies.
