Ever feel like your body started playing by completely different rules after 35?

Subtle shifts in energy, sleep, mood, or muscle recovery aren't "just in your head" - perimenopause often begins years before most women realize, yet very few of us are handed practical tools to navigate it.

Join us on October 22 for a 2nd edition (first was sold out!) of a down-to-earth evening designed to give you clarity, science-backed strategies, and actionable takeaways:

• The Science: Decode hormone shifts, metabolism, strength, and nutrition after 35

• Practicing Dutch GP Panel: Direct guidance on doctor self-advocacy, medical options, and how to get taken seriously

• Interactive Q&A: Open floor for your honest questions

• Casual Drinks: Connect in a relaxed, informal setting (drinks included)

🗓️ When: Thursday, October 22, 18:45 | 2-hour live session (with short break) + drinks

📍 Where: Upper East Cafe, Amstelveen

🚗 Getting there: Located right on the border of Amsterdam and Amstelveen. Lots of hassle-free parking available, or just a few minutes’ walk from tram 5 and 25.
