Menopause Mijas

This event wouldn't be possible without the incredible businesses, organizations, and professionals who have stepped up to support women in midlife. 💜

A special thank you to Herrera Law Firm, our venue sponsor, for opening their doors and helping us create a space where women can learn, connect, and advocate for their health.

We're also grateful to Bridgehead IT, our swag bag sponsor; Veronica Segovia, our cocktail sponsor; Live From the Southside, our digital media sponsor; Amanda's Photo Booth; Urban Legend Photography; Love Shack Boutique; Planned Parenthood; and San Antonio Living for helping us bring this vision to life.

And of course, thank you to our amazing speakers who are sharing their time and expertise with our attendees:

✨ Dr. Carolina Praderio
✨ Dr. Gil Villanueva
✨ Victoria Shipley

The first 40 registered attendees will receive a swag bag filled with goodies from our sponsors, and we still have limited vendor and swag bag sponsorship opportunities available.

June 20 is going to be something special. Thank you to everyone helping us make it happen. 🩷

Another perimenopause update... 💜

I officially switched from the estradiol patch to estradiol gel.

A few reasons why I decided to make the switch:

✔️ The patches have been difficult to find consistently

✔️ No more sticky residue

✔️ No adhesive-related skin irritation

✔️ No worrying about a patch peeling off

✔️ Some women report less breast tenderness

The biggest downside?

❌ Daily application instead of twice a week

For me, that's a trade-off I'm willing to make if it means I can consistently get my medication and avoid some of the patch frustrations.

As always, this is just my personal experience—not medical advice. Every woman's body is different.

Have you tried the patch, the gel, or both? I'd love to hear your experience. 💜

Okay apparently this has been living on my TikTok since April 1 and I really thought I posted it here too 🤦‍♀️😂

So here it is, because if you’re in your 40s, in perimenopause, menopause, or just feeling “off,” you are not alone. In this video I’m sharing the medications and things that have helped me, plus a few things I wish more women knew sooner.

We deserve real conversations, real information, and to know we are not crazy, baddies. 💖

Menopause Mijas presents Becoming Her: Mental Wellness in Midlife, because we educate, advocate, and empower women through midlife. Send me a message if you want the ticket link or more info. 💕

I’m making my daily protein drink with: 🥤 Plant-based protein
🍌 Banana
🥄 Yogurt
💥 Creatine monohydrate
✨ Collagen

Why? Because in perimenopause and menopause we naturally lose muscle, our metabolism slows down, recovery takes longer, and we can start noticing more fatigue, brain fog, weakness, joint pain, thinning hair, and even changes in our skin.

Protein helps support:
✔️ Muscle and strength
✔️ Energy and blood sugar
✔️ Feeling full longer
✔️ Hair, skin, and nails
✔️ A healthier metabolism

Creatine can help with muscle, strength, energy, and even brain fog. Collagen helps support skin, hair, joints, and aging muscles. Add a banana and yogurt for flavor, fiber, and a little extra protein.
Midlife is not the time to eat less, it's the time to nourish your body more. We deserve to feel strong, energized, and like ourselves again. 💖

Please excuse my Playlist 😆

Reasons why: helps build muscle, supports bone health, boosts metabolism, and can make everyday movement more effective in perimenopause and menopause

We came. We taught. We empowered. 💃🏽✨
