Introduction to the Menopause Summit 0:00
Hi, I'm Laura Frontiero. I'm a nurse practitioner and functional medicine practitioner and co-host of the Menopause Summit. Now, I'm so glad that you're here.

Expert Topics and Summit Conversations 0:55
That's why Sharon and I brought together this extraordinary group of experts throughout the summit. We'll be sitting down with leading voices in thyroid health, nervous system regulation, bone and sexual health, healthy aging, environmental toxicants, and more.

Looking Ahead to Health Beyond Menopause 1:29
Now, over the next several days, Doctor Sharon and I will help you look at menopause through a much wider lens so you can better understand what's happening in your body and what you can do to support it. Because this chapter of your life isn't simply about getting through menopause. It's about building strength and health for the decades ahead. And I'm really glad you're here. So let's get started.
