18th June | Join one of women's health's most compelling voices, live in London, to reframe your approach to perimenopause.
Naturopath, clinician, and bestselling author Lara Briden is coming to the UK for an exclusive practitioner evening, and the conversation she's bringing is one the profession needs to have.
Perimenopause is increasingly framed through the lens of hormone deficiency—but what if that framing is obscuring the bigger picture?
In this thought-provoking session, Lara will reposition perimenopause not as a decline, but as an adaptive recalibration of the nervous system and metabolism. Drawing on evolutionary biology, clinical experience, and her characteristic evidence-first approach, she'll gently but firmly challenge dominant narratives around oestrogen, fatigue, metabolic change, and long-term risk.
Practitioners will leave with a clearer, more nuanced framework for assessment and support. An approach that moves beyond the oversimplified deficiency model and better reflects the physiological reality of midlife hormonal transition.
The evening closes with a dedicated Q&A, your chance to put your most pressing clinical questions directly to Lara.
Whether you're seeing perimenopausal clients daily or looking to deepen your clinical confidence in this space, this session will shift both how you think, and how you practice.
