Many women struggle with menopause, a natural and normal condition that all women experience as they age. The term “menopause” can describe any of the changes a woman goes through either just before or after she stops menstruating, marking the end of her reproductive period.

WisePause is a pro-age online and offline wellness platform formed to educate and connect women with trusted information, supportive community, and actionable reliable resources focused on the health and wellness of women leading up to menopause at midlife. Whether online or at an event, women are introduced to culturally diverse practitioners and experts with the latest discoveries, best treatments and scientifically proven remedies.

WisePause makes the second stop of its lifestyle tour at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center Theatre Ballroom Saturday, October 12 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. More than 20 experts are scheduled to appear to offer women innovative information, resources and remedies for perimenopause and menopause. The event includes workshops, small-group discussions and exhibitors.

Menopause is defined as when a woman has not had a menstrual period for at least 12 months. Perimenopause represents the years leading up to menopause, when many women experience symptoms resulting from hormonal imbalances. The average age range for women to enter these phases are between 40 and 55. More than 6,000 women in the U.S. reach menopause daily—and nearly 80% of them will experience hot flashes or night sweats. Less than seven percent will receive treatment for these and other symptoms such as belly fat, low libido, mood swings and insomnia.* Symptoms are often sudden and surprising. WisePause is a full-day summit designed to demystify and ease the perimenopause and menopause experiences.

“Our grandmothers and mothers never talked about menopause,” says Denise Pines, president of the California Medical Board. “This has resulted in half-truths, all-out myths, unnecessary anxiety and generations of women who have been unprepared for this inevitable yet manageable transition. We’re removing the stigma, so women don’t have to suffer in silence.”

The WisePause Lifestyle Tour is an empowered community experience that connects women to the best midlife health information, trusted healthcare professionals, innovative hormonal healing therapies, products and services, and to other women on similar journeys. In workshops and small-group “Table Talks”, experts in the fields of medicine, alternative medicine and healing arts will discuss topics including hormonal fluctuations, incontinence, nutrition and age-defying skin and beauty treatments.

Exhibitors at the Wellness Experiential Tent will be on hand to provide information and samples of massage, cryotherapies, nutritional supplements, organic foods, yoga and non-invasive skin and beauty treatments.

“Thankfully, today’s working world has embraced the needs associated with pregnancy and motherhood,” said Pines. “However, very few employers recognize or understand that women going through perimenopause or menopause have equally important needs that may require accommodations. Hopefully, starting this transparent conversation will open the door to creating a platform for women to garner much-needed support.” Scheduled participants include:

Evie Delaney (Skin Specialist)
Dr. Natasha Dawkins, Physical Therapist specializing in pelvic health
Lauren Chiren, Menopause in the workplace expert
Beth Houser Coughlin, M.S.Ed, Owner/Director of The Living Foods Institute at Tula Health
Pamela Molinari – Personal fitness trainer
Rebecca Turk – Stress relief through Soundbaths
Tammy von Nordheim, MSW, CAMS, CTAS – Mental Health Therapist, Founder of Girl in the Glass Women’s Empowerment

Sponsored by AARP and Tea Botanics, The WisePause tour has hosted or will host events in Los Angeles (September 2019), Chicago and Washington, D.C. in 2020. For more information and to register for the WisePause Lifestyle Tour, please visit https://wisepausetour.com.

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
