🌸Femme, Facts & Flourishing In Your 40s and Beyond: An Evening of Women, Science, and Debunking Myths

 Chères patientes,

There are seasons in life that ask us to pause, to listen, and to reconnect with ourselves—body, mind, and spirit. Perimenopause, Menopause and Postmenopause are among the most profound of these transitions. They are not an ending, but a new beginning: a chance to understand, to adapt, and to flourish.

This October, we invite you to join us at The Root in Scituate for Femme, Facts & Flourishing in your 40s and Beyond—an evening of Women, Science and Debunking Myths. We will dive into conversation, clarity, and community over wine, wisdom, and a shared table.

A Gathering with Intention

This is not a sales event, nor just a lecture. It is a soirée of discovery—an invitation to sit among women, gain profound medical insight, and walk away lighter, clearer, and more empowered to care for your body in this next season of life.

What Awaits You

✨ A warm welcome from Sandy Hunt AGACNP-C

A reflection on the French philosophy of aging, and how wellness is about more than appearance—it is about vitality, balance, and renewal.

🎤 A keynote presentation by Dr. Gina Zarella MD, MSCP

Dr. Zarella will guide us through the realities of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause with honesty, clarity, and compassion.

Together we will explore:

• What really happens in the 7–10 years leading up to menopause (perimenopause)

• What life looks like after menopause (postmenopause): long-term health considerations and what changes to expect

• How estrogen and progesterone influence everything from our skin and joints to our brain, heart, and mood

• Common symptoms—what’s typical, what’s not, and when to seek care

• The truth about hormone replacement therapy: myths vs. medical evidence

• The latest research on cardiovascular health, bone strength, and overall well-being

• Who may benefit from HRT, who should avoid it, and what treatment options exist today

• Open Q&A: bring your questions, curiosities, and reflections—Dr. Zarella will provide answers in a welcoming, judgment-free space 

Who This Event Is For

This evening is designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply curious about the changes your body experiences as you age. Whether you’re noticing new symptoms, seeking clarity about your health, or want to separate myths from facts, this event is for you.
