Allison Lewin and Dr Gabby Pavelko work inside the menopause space every day, and their Hotflash inc Summit session addresses many of the things that are structurally failing women without agenda. These include insurance gaps, hormone shortages and women leaving the workplace. They also offer quite a lot of practical advice: root cause before treatment, what to ask for in a blood panel, and why most supplements aren't needed – unless you are experiencing a true deficiency. Free to watch, online, 24 speakers, starts Monday, running Sept 28–Oct 2, videos dropping Monday, Wednesday + Friday. Check it out here → summit.hotflashinc.com/

Marcella Hill built a community of a million women on one question with extreme honesty and her quest to answer the underlying question: what do you actually want? In her Hotflash inc Summit session, she told me how answering it led to a permanent-pain diagnosis, a near-accidental discovery about testosterone, and a marriage she reshaped instead of ending. Oh, and why ordering the kind of pizza YOU like one night can change everything. Free to watch, online, 24 speakers, starts Monday, running Sept 28–Oct 2, videos dropping Monday, Wednesday + Friday.

"The brain is a very hormone-responsive organ." That's GP and menopause specialist Dr Helen Wall, author of Menopause and ADHD, on why so many women first recognize ADHD – or lose the ability to compensate for it – in perimenopause. Her Hotflash inc Summit session covers why girls were missed for decades and what we actually know about combining hormone therapy with ADHD medication.

"Midlife is our second primal wound." Janice Taylor knows a thing or two about primal wounds: as the founder of Wilson 4Q she developed the Emotional Fitness framework. Her theory: an emotional system wired before age 10 gets reactivated in our 40s like a second lightning bolt – and what looks like hormones may (also) be decades of something else entirely. She's also co-leading our VIP Live Day on Oct 3, too. Free to watch, online, 24 speakers, starts Monday, running Sept 28–Oct 2, videos dropping Monday, Wednesday + Friday.

Pippa Campbell, of Pippa Campbell Health, is a UK naturopath who sees something much different from the current menopause narrative in her clinic: about 80% of the time, a woman's symptoms aren't just about her ovarian hormones – cortisol, thyroid, insulin and gut are all in the picture. Her Hotflash inc Summit session walks through what her method of testing looks like, why she defends the term "estrogen dominance" and what else – because there is almost always something else – going on.

Why do two women with identical bloodwork have completely different experiences of menopause? Nurse practitioner @_CynthiaThurlow and I dug into that question for this year's Hotflash inc Summit And who better to discuss this with than the author of The Menopause Gut? Diving into the gut, the estrobolome, and the lifelong inputs that shape how this transition shows up in your body. Cynthia has also revised her thinking on intermittent fasting for women at this stage, and it's worth hearing why. Free to watch, videos drop online Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from Sept 28–Oct 2 → summit.hotflashinc.com

Dentist Neusha Najafi told me something I didn't expect during the Hotflash inc Summit: perimenopause often shows up in the mouth — dry mouth, a changed sense of taste, bleeding gums — before a woman recognizes it anywhere else. After her own pregnancy loss, she tested her own saliva and found seven of eleven aggressive periodontal pathogens despite near-perfect habits. Her session is part of this year's Hotflash inc Summit, with interviews dropping next Monday, Wednesday and Friday – all free and online –  Sept 28–Oct 2 → summit.hotflashinc.com
