Colleen Norris
From Cycles to Cessation: The Ovaries are the Architect of Women's Health
Colleen's presentation explains how the ovaries and the hormone estrogen have shaped women’s health across their entire lives—not just during childbearing years. Estrogen plays an important role in protecting the heart, brain, bones, blood vessels, mood, and overall well being. As estrogen levels change with age and menopause, symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep problems, fatigue, memory changes, and shifts in heart and bone health are not simply “normal aging,” but signs of real biological change that deserve attention. The presentation encourages women to better understand their bodies, to recognize that many symptoms have medical meaning, and to feel empowered to seek informed, individualized care that supports healthy aging and quality of life.

into human potential and transformational training. For the past 15 years, she has blended

unapologetic FUN to help women break free from overwhelm, urgency, and chronic
overdrive so they are well-rested, relaxed, and wildly in love with their lives again.
