It's the interview many of you have been waiting for - let's talk perimenopause! Every menstruating woman will eventually get there, and some women are hitting it earlier in their mid-late 30s. So it's important to understand what's happening and what you can do about it. Luckily, we have an expert on tap today: Dr. Anna Garrett, who is not only a Certified Coach, but also a Doctor of Pharmacy, so her expertise straddles the two worlds of healthcare approaches. She wants you to feel empowered as you approach and find yourself in perimenopause, so listen closely to this one!

Dr. Anna Garrett has been a clinical pharmacist for over 20 years and has worked in a variety of practice settings. While traveling her career path, she discovered that working with women in midlife is her true passion. She offers a variety of services including hormone balancing, weight loss and health coaching designed to help women in perimenopause and menopause escape from hormone hell and feel amazing in their bodies so they can rock their mojo through midlife and beyond.

Dr. Anna received her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill and is a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist. She is also a Certified Intrinsic Coach®, and has studied through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Day 3 of the 2019 Hormone Summit brings us an interview with one of my favorite people, The Period Girl herself, Nicole Jardim. We chat all things PMS, and Nicole goes in-depth about what is happening in your body when PMS strikes. It's a multilayered process, but luckily Nicole tells you where to begin to help banish this bane of many women's existence. And she somehow makes the whole process seem fun and easy!

Nicole is a Certified Women’s Health Coach and the creator of Fix Your Period, a series of programs that empower women to reclaim their hormone health using a method that combines simplicity and sass.

Her incredible work has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of women around the world in effectively addressing a wide variety of period problems, including PMS, irregular periods, PCOS, painful periods, amenorrhea, and many more.

Nicole is also the co-host of The Period Party, a top-rated podcast on iTunes—be sure to tune into that if you want to learn more about how to fix your period—and she’s the creator of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s hormone health continuing education course.

The next interview of Day 2 of the 2019 Hormone Summit is all  about how your hormones and intuition are connected. And I called upon  the woman I knew would be perfect to talk about this area: Medical  Intuitive Katie Beecher. Katie combines her training as a Licensed  Professional Counselor with her innate gift for intuition to help people  figure out what is happening with their health. But even better, she  teaches YOU how to connect to your intuition to set you on the right  healing path. You might want to pull out a pen and some paper for this one!

Katie Beecher, MS, LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor and  Medical and Emotional Intuitive with over thirty years of experience.  She has a unique way of working with clients, creating a detailed,  extremely accurate, four page physical, emotional and spiritual report  and symbolic painting, before ever seeing them, talking with them or  seeing a photograph, using only their name and age.

Katie’s  practice is international. Her clients include CEOs and CFOs of national  and international companies, State Supreme Court Judges, celebrities,  physicians, attorneys, scientists and psychologists.

She has been featured in the Goop articles “A Road Map to Your Intuition”, “Using  Intuition to Find Self Acceptance” and “We All Have Medical Intuition,  Now Here’s How To Use It” and was featured in the Goop Guide to Energy  Healers, Intuitives and Mediums, being called “eerily accurate”. She is  also a contributor to Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh.

Welcome back to day 2 of the 2019 Hormone Summit! It’s time to “Bring  the Downstairs UpFront” with Amanda Hayes Fugate (her awesome  catchphrase!). Amanda is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, and today  we’re talking about how important this area is to our hormones, sexual  health, and emotional well-being. If you don’t know anything about your  pelvic floor, you’re about to fall in love with this rarely-talked about  body part. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some incredible pelvic floor  knowledge!  

Amanda went to Western Carolina University in 2007 with the unique goal  of being a pelvic health therapist – she even won a national scholarship  because of her passion in this area. Upon graduation she dove head  first into creating a pelvic health program from the ground up for an  outpatient physical therapy practice in the Asheville, NC area (please  note, I introduced her as creating the *first* pelvic health program in  Asheville, which was incorrect).   

Continuing to expand her expertise over the past 10 years has been an  amazing journey which led her to teach for the Herman & Wallace  Pelvic Rehab Institute and open her own pelvic health practice: Pelvic  Forward PT. Her goal is to provide comprehensive and patient directed  care in the changing medical climate.  Connect with Amanda via her website, https://www.pelvicforward.com/, on FB at https://www.facebook.com/pelvicforward/, and on IG at https://www.instagram.com/pelvicforward/
