Menopause Master Class with Shirley Weir - Let's Crack Open the Conversation

Menopause? Estrogen? Progesterone? Who's in perimenopause? Me!

My guest today is Shirley Weir, the founder of Menopause Chicks. Although this podcast mainly features BIPOC folks, I invited Shirley as I have admired her work since we met in 2017. She has done so much to educate the world about menopause. Shirley is a fierce advocate for women’s health. 

In this (mini) master class, we talk about hormones, the healthcare system, how it affects folks who identify as BIPOC, and what we can do to be more proactive about our journey. 

Shirley launched Menopause Chicks 12 years ago onto the world stage to empower women to talk openly about perimenopause and menopause, navigate midlife health information, and connect to women’s health professionals.

Shirley always begins by reminding women they deserve to feel amazing. She teaches hormone health and supports women eager to invest in their health and learn to be their best advocate. 

Based in Vancouver, Menopause Chicks reaches over 300K women in 10 countries. She hosts a popular private community with over 54K members.
