Hi, I'm Eliza Riley, and I am thrilled to introduce you to one of our distinguished speakers at the Holistic Menopause Solutions Summit, Dr. Gerilyn Pryor. Dr. Pryor is a pioneering professor of endocrinology at the University of British Columbia and an award-winning clinician scientist with over 45 years of expertise in women's reproductive health. She's known for her groundbreaking work on hormone balance, progesterone, and understanding how to support women through perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Prior, could you share a quick preview of what our audience can look forward to in your session?
Absolutely, Eliza. I'll be talking about why perimenopause is often so challenging. It has fluctuating high and swinging estrogen levels and dropping progesterone levels. And we'll talk about how these changes affect sleep, mood, and daily life. I'll also cover how progesterone can be a powerful option for relieving night sweats and sleep disruptions. Nothing else has been proven effective in perimenopause.
So exciting. Don't miss this insightful session with Dr. Jerilyn Pryor. Join us at the summit to gain a new understanding of perimenopause and explore strategies to manage its impact. We'll see you there.
