Understanding Menopause: Support For the Transitional Years

Hey friend —

If you've ever sat across from a perimenopausal patient — hot flashes, insomnia, brain fog, the whole constellation — and felt a quiet pull of uncertainty about exactly where to start… you're not alone.

Not because you're not a great clinician. You are.

But menopause is one of those conditions where the conventional approach — skip straight to HRT, manage any symptoms, and move on — leaves a huge clinical gap. And your patients don't know the difference. They are falling right into it.

The gap isn't a knowledge problem.
It's a sequencing problem — which happens to be a very solvable problem.

The Way Most Practitioners Approach Menopause Isn't Working

The practitioners your patient has already visited did what they knew to do. They recommended wild yam for hot flashes. They used adaptogens and phosphatidylserine for elevated cortisol and sleep. And they had a perfect protocol for weight loss.

But that's the problem — menopause isn't a list of symptoms. It's bigger than that. It's a systems problem.

When you treat symptoms without addressing the underlying systems — in the right order — you get exactly what that patient experienced. Temporary relief, at best. A revolving door of complaints, at worst.

Most practitioners have never been taught a complete, sequenced clinical approach to supporting women through the menopausal transition. Not in school. Not in post-grad training. Not in the CE hours pieced together year after year.

But that approach exists. May 30th is where you'll learn it.

Introducing

Understanding Menopause:

Support For the Transitional Years

May 30, 2026 · 8am–3pm PT · Virtual on Zoom · 2-week replay included

Six hours of clinical instruction — plus Q&A sessions built into the day — designed around one outcome: you leave with a system you can use right away.

Not a survey. Not a theory lecture. A complete, sequenced, physiologically grounded approach to one of the most complex hormonal transitions your patients will ever face.

Your Instructor

Who Is Teaching This?

Ronda Nelson has spent more than 20 years in clinical practice and has taught clinical education to over 15,000 wellness practitioners across North America. She's the creator of Clinical Academy, is a well-respected educator for major supplement brands, and has been a guest educator at institutions in the U.S. and overseas. Female hormones, especially menopause, is one of the clinical areas she's spent the most time researching, refining, and teaching.

But here's what's most important: she's also a practitioner. She knows what it's like to sit in front of a patient whose hot flashes are not budging — wanting a solution instead of a guess.

That's what this seminar will solve.

The Curriculum

What We'll Cover

Six hours. Three clinical blocks. One cohesive system.

1 The Systems Behind the Symptoms

What's really happening physiologically when ovarian function declines — and why symptoms are downstream of something bigger
How to stage the menopausal transition clinically, so you always know where a patient is and what she needs next
The body systems that drive every major menopausal symptom — and why treating them out of order doesn't work

2 A Sequenced Clinical Approach

There is a specific order to supporting the menopausal transition that most practitioners have never been taught — and it changes outcomes
How to evaluate each system, identify where the breakdown is, and intervene at the right level
When hormones belong in the protocol, when they don't, and how to hold that conversation without losing your patient's trust

3 Symptom-Specific Protocols + Testing

Evidence-based, non-hormonal support for hot flashes, sleep, mood, cognition, urogenital health, bone density, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic changes
Salivary hormone testing — how to read a panel with clinical confidence, and the single biggest red flag most practitioners miss
Case studies that apply the approach and show real improvement quickly
Supplement protocols across multiple product lines — adaptable to whatever you carry

The Outcome

What You'll Walk Away With

You'll stop second-guessing where to start. Right now, menopause cases probably feel like a puzzle with too many pieces and no picture on the box. After May 30th, you'll have the picture. You'll know exactly which piece goes first.
Your appointments will feel different. Not longer — different. You'll ask better questions because you'll know what you're listening for. Your patients will notice the shift before you say a word about what changed.
The hormone conversation stops being awkward. When a patient comes in having already been told to go on hormones, you'll have a clear, confident answer — not a hedge. You'll know exactly when hormones are genuinely appropriate and when they're not, and you'll be able to say so with clinical authority.
Your most complicated patients become your most satisfying cases. The woman who has tried everything and gotten nowhere? You'll finally be able to explain why nothing worked — and what actually will. That kind of clinical clarity is what keeps patients in your practice for years.
You'll remember why you do this work. There's a specific kind of satisfaction that comes from seeing a patient's face when things finally start working. This seminar is designed to produce that moment — over and over, in your practice, starting the week after.

Social Proof

What Practitioners Are Saying

These results aren't unusual. They're what happens when practitioners finally have a system.

Finally — a framework that makes sense!

"I've been in functional medicine for 11 years and I have never had someone explain menopause like this before. The sequencing makes so much sense. Not sure how I didn't figure this out before now. I left this seminar and completely restructured how I approach menopausal patients. My patients are happier and I am not playing whack-a-mole anymore. Thank you Dr. Ronda!"

— Dr. S.M., Naturopathic Doctor

I used it the following Monday.

"I was skeptical that this seminar would be any different than the ones I've taken before. But I was so wrong. Ronda is a hidden treasure. The way she explains the physiology and then connects it to the symptoms and a practical solution is something I hadn't seen before. I have a new excitement about helping these women and feel confident that I know exactly what to do regardless of where they are in the process. Definitely recommend!"

— J.T., Functional Medicine Practitioner

This seminar changed how I think about every menopausal patient.

"I went in assuming the information would be too basic but it never did. Ronda covers the physiology with a perfect balance between basic review and advanced clinical information. And then she shows you how to apply it. The case studies were excellent and pulled it all together. Huge thank you!"

— Dr. A.R., DC, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner

Can't Make It Live? Register Anyway.

May 30 is a Saturday — so you won't lose a patient day. But if life gets in the way, no problem.

Register now and the replay is yours. We typically have it processed and ready within 3 days — expect access by Tuesday, June 2 at the latest. You'll have 14 days from that point to watch at your own pace.

A lot of practitioners register specifically for the replay. They want the content but need the flexibility. That's a completely valid way to attend.

A note on the 14-day window: I know 14 days feels shorter than what you're used to. It's intentional. I've run enough seminars to know that a 30-day window doesn't produce better outcomes — it produces more missed replays. 14 days works. You'll be glad you didn't wait. 😊

Questions

A Few Quick Answers

Will you cover hormone therapy?

Yes — but not as the default, and not BHRT. We'll cover the specific clinical scenarios where exogenous hormones are genuinely appropriate, and how to talk confidently with patients who come in asking for them. The core approach is non-hormonal-first by design.

I've attended a Ronda Nelson menopause training before. Is this different?

Significantly more comprehensive. If you've been through an earlier version, you'll find this one has more depth, a completely different clinical sequence, and solutions that weren't covered before.

Are CEUs available?

No CEUs are offered for this seminar.
