18 men and women  came from around New Zealand to learn from Dr Stacy Sims PhD at her Inaugural Weekend Retreat and I was honoured to be asked to share my medical knowledge on hormone therapy

I had 90 minutes to share my knowledge of the menstrual cycle, how recognising hormone changes can improve your wellbeing and lead to berter recognition of your symptoms can improve your health now and in the future.
