You deserve a soft place to land...
Welcome to The Nest.
Marketers know that by the year 2025, 1 billion women will have reached menopause. That’s a lot of buying power! More and more we’re seeing the impact of this in the on- (& off!) line world with countless products, programs, and gimicks targeting women who simply just want to feel well.
Navigating all of the information can be daunting and too many women give up on finding the RIGHT information, the right health team, and miss the opportunity to INVEST in their current AND long-term health.
When I started Menopause Chicks 11 years ago, I was on a mission to curate quality, verified, evidence-based health menopause information so that I could share it with you…and offer clarity to this very confusing topic.
- over 77% of women have questions about their health,
- 62% lack the time to do the research on their own,
- 31% don’t trust online information
- 35% don’t trust their physician and
- OVER HALF of all women have left a health appointment feeling dismissed or disappointed (when the top TWO reasons for making the appointment in the first place was either menstruation or menopause)
of us deserve quality answers to our health questions
and
deserve to navigate perimenopause-to-menopause-to-postmenopause with confidence and ease.
Now, as we sit at the dawn of 2024, women’s midlife health conversations have exploded. Menopause is now on magazine covers, tv shows and social media–more than it ever has been before.
This is something we can celebrate!
But, we have to remember that more conversations about menopause won’t move our health forward if it only continues to perpetuate old, outdated myths and stereotypes.
With this flurry of new menopause conversations (including misinformation and misinterpretation) flying about, you need a soft place to land.
A place that equips you with the skills you need to feel confident talking to your doctor, become a proactive agent in your health care, and understand your body so that you can embrace aging and feel amazing.
A place where you can ask your questions and know that the answers you’ll get are evidence-based and grounded in REAL recommendations from Doctors & the scientific community.
A place where your name is at the top of the list, and the conversations & connections reach far beyond a basic hormones 101 class.
A Soft Place for Menopause Chicks to Land.
Hey there, I'm Shirley Weir.
I introduce myself as a “Menopause Chick,” which is anyone who wants to be informed & proactive with their midlife health.
Now 56, my perimenopause journey began in my 40s. Sleep deprivation, brain fog, anxiety & depression led me to me doctor’s office, the book store and “Dr. Google,” but I was left feeling confused, overwhelmed and alone.
Eleven years ago, I launched the Menopause Chicks community for women to learn about all-things hormone health, and how to invest in their future heart, brain, breast, bone and genitourinary health. With a growing audience of over 300K, I host the only private online community of its kind–trusted by 53K members for evidence-based information and quality answers.
I'm a two-time author, a podcast host, a TedX Speaker, a YWCA Woman of Distinction recipient, and I hold a Certificate in Peer Counselling from UBC.
However, the title I love the most is “women’s health advocate.” A perfect day is when someone tells me that my ability to translate confusing information positively changed their health outcome!
