Jackie Tewes will be teaching a class at Prior Lake/Savage Community Ed.

This course will provide education on the confusing world of perimenopause and menopause. To date, there is a lack of information available to women on these topics.

While both are natural phases in a woman’s life, perimenopause and menopause mark the transition from the reproductive years to the post-reproductive stage. These phases are often accompanied by a variety of symptoms and are surrounded by several myths and misconceptions. Understanding these changes can empower women to navigate this stage of life with confidence and grace.​ The topic of menopause is often misunderstood, overlooked, and not spoken of much in the traditional world of medicine. And yet it affects millions of women every year. We want to educate you.​

This class will aim to provide a clear understanding of the terminology used around menopause, review signs and symptoms of perimenopause/menopause that are frequently missed, dive into the updated literature findings on this topic, and provide tangible ways to thrive rather than merely survive menopause.
