  About this course

The Refresh Reproductive Wellness Program

The Refresh Reproductive Wellness Program is designed for women 40 and beyond who are navigating hormonal changes in midlife, including perimenopause or menopause, while also holding space for fertility.
It offers a calm, compassionate starting point for women who want to better understand this stage of reproductive health and begin making practical, sustainable changes in areas such as nutrition, stress management, sleep, and recovery. Whether fertility remains an active consideration or your focus has shifted more fully toward midlife wellness, Refresh provides structure and guidance for taking your next steps with greater clarity.

What's Inside the 4 Weeks

Each week of the Refresh Reproductive Wellness Program provides evidence-informed education, practical guidance, and manageable steps for women 40 and beyond navigating reproductive and hormonal changes in midlife, while also holding space for fertility.

You’ll build greater understanding of your body while exploring supportive approaches to nutrition, stress management, sleep, recovery, and everyday wellness without overwhelm, pressure, or unrealistic promises.

Week 1 | Understanding Your Body’s Transition

Gain a clearer understanding of the reproductive and hormonal changes that can occur during your 40s, from changing menstrual patterns to the transition through perimenopause and menopause, and how these changes may relate to fertility and overall wellness.

You’ll begin identifying changes you have noticed and consider which areas of your daily routines and reproductive wellness deserve greater attention.

Week 2 | Nourishing Your Body for Optimal Health

Explore the role nutrition plays in supporting overall health during midlife, including nutrients important for bone, cardiovascular, metabolic, and reproductive health.

You’ll consider practical ways to include nutrient-rich foods, adequate protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, vitamin D, and other important nutrients within realistic, sustainable eating patterns.

Week 3 | Understanding Stress & Building Calmer Routines

Explore how ongoing stress can affect sleep, energy, emotional well-being, and everyday health during midlife.

You’ll identify common sources of stress in your own routines and explore practical approaches such as calm breathing, reflective journaling, structured rest, walking, and other realistic strategies that can help you build more restorative moments into everyday life.

Week 4 | Sleep and Recovery for Hormonal Health

Explore why consistent, restorative sleep matters for physical health, emotional well-being, and recovery during midlife, including when sleep becomes more difficult during perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll identify factors that may be interfering with your sleep and begin developing realistic evening and recovery routines that support better rest. You’ll also consider practical ways to respond to common challenges such as night sweats, changing schedules, and stress-related sleep disruption.
By the end of four weeks, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the reproductive and hormonal changes that can occur after 40, greater awareness of your current wellness routines, and practical strategies for supporting nutrition, stress management, sleep, and recovery. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what you want to continue working on next.
