The Modern Midlife: A Guide to Hormones, Products, and Pleasure

The Conversation We’ve Been Waiting For

We talk about the hot flashes and the sleep, but we rarely talk about how hormone changes impact our intimacy, our stories, and our sense of self. In a traditional medical model, these topics are often sidelined, leaving women to navigate the "messy middle" of perimenopause alone.

Join Jocelyn Jarick, PA-C (Menopause Certified Provider) and Kara Haug (Certified Sex Educator) for a candid, evidence, based discussion designed to reframe your midlife experience.

What We’ll Cover:

Hormone Metabolism: Understanding how estrogen loss affects more than just your cycle.
Intimacy & Pleasure: Navigating sexual health changes with confidence and the right products.
Clinical Clarity: Moving past the "medication mill" to find what actually works for your body.

Theme: Empowerment, Evidence-Based Lifestyle Medicine, and Midlife

Community Partners: Kaia FIT Natomas, 2120 Training Club & Cordillera Wellness Collective

Description: We didn’t just talk about menopause; we started a revolution. Our "Hot Girl Era: Menopause Edition" event at Kaia FIT was nothing short of incredible, featuring raw, real conversations about navigating midlife in 2026. We spent the morning tearing down outdated "quick fix" or "suck it up" ways of thinking to rebuild a foundation based on today’s technology, specialized labs, and advanced medical information. The biggest takeaway? Community is everything. We are replacing the "old way" with empowerment and a supportive sisterhood that refuses to settle for "normal," proving that when you understand your biology, from hormone harmony to metabolic health, you realize how many factors are truly within your control to live your best, strongest life.
