✨ You asked… and we delivered! The Great Pause: Mid-Life Weight Gain is back for both in-person events AND virtual! In case you missed this one in March, this is your last opportunity to experience this science-informed session with Naturopathic Specialist - Dr. Annie Cannon. ✨

Menopause weight gain is driven by biology: hormones, muscle mass, metabolism, insulin resistance and long term metabolic health. And despite what the media tells you, it’s not as easy as just “diet and exercise”.

🌿 You deserve to understand exactly what is going on behind the curtains of your own body.

You’re tired of guessing, get your tickets to an informative, science based and practical talk with Dr. Annie Cannon and receive the clarity your due.

✨ Mark your calendars… the 5th talk in the Women’s Health Series is here! The Great Pause: Mood, Mind & Mental Health. ✨

Perimenopause and menopause can create a wave of unexpected changes, many of which can be overlooked, misunderstood and ultimately very frustrating.

With Provisional Psychologist, Alison Varga, you’ll receive a down-to-earth look at the mental and emotional side of this transition.

👀 Now this talk is not just for those directly experiencing the emotional rollercoaster that is perimenopause, but also for those supporting someone going through the transition. (Hubbies, we’re looking at you!)

Our goal is simple: To help you start feeling more like yourself again, the best version you can be!

A huge THANK YOU to our mayor Tanya Thorn for highlighting our event!!! So excited to see everyone this Thursday.

Half the population will experience perimenopause and menopause. Yet for decades it has remained one of the least talked about stages of women’s health. That’s why I’m grateful to see events like the upcoming screening of The M Factor 2: Before the Pause – Perimenopause and panel discussion happening here in Okotoks. Creating spaces where women can learn, ask questions, share experiences, and access reliable information is incredibly important.

Whether you’re personally experiencing this stage of life, supporting a partner, friend, colleague, or simply wanting to better understand women’s health, this event is an opportunity to expand knowledge and bring this conversation into the open.

📅 Event: Screening – The M Factor 2: Before the Pause – Perimenopause
📍 March 19: 7 - 9pm Okotoks Cinemas

Thank you to the organizers, Active Balance Health Centre, for helping bring this important topic to the forefront and creating opportunities for women to learn, connect, and support one another.

Knowledge is empowering and conversations like this help ensure women have the information they need to advocate for their health.

The second features our naturopathic doctor, Dr. Annie Cannon as she uncovers the stigma behind mid-life weight gain. If you’ve reached your 40s or 50s and everything feels off… you are not alone. She explains why this happens and what actually works for weight loss.
