transition women are in,
but it’s often not that
important. The main
thing to establish is what
her most troublesome
symptoms are and focus
on managing those.”
“I also really want
women to see
menopause not as
something to dread but
as a unique window of
opportunity to positively
impact their future
health and wellbeing,”
Dr Teagle says.
“With the right
information, we can start
small, well-targeted,
consistent habits now,
and the bene昀椀ts will
be ampli昀椀ed over the
coming decades to
reduce the development
of osteoporosis, heart
disease, dementia,
diabetes, and other
chronic diseases.”
Dr Teagle’s new mission
is to help women achieve
health, wellbeing,
and independence
as they age. She has
created a women’s
wellness program
called “Next Phase,”
which systematically
educates women
about the physical and
psychological changes
of midlife. It also aims
to connect and support
women through an online
community, small group
meetups, and coaching
elements to keep
participants motivated
and accountable.
