EVENT DETAIL

Online Health Seminar co-sponsored by The Nippon Club and Japanese Medical Society of America (JMSA) “From Women to Women – Optimize your health through peri- and postmenopause”

Two female physicians from cardiology and gynecology will discuss a midlife change in the female body. Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the two most common causes of death in women and are deeply affected by female hormones. A woman’s body will undergo a big change around the time of menopause, and the risk of cardiovascular disease starts increasing significantly. We will explain what you need to know and what you can do now because you can change your risk through prevention! Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink your health and modify your lifestyle. Let’s talk about being a woman, and let us help you shine more for many years to come!

The webinar will cover
● Midlife change on the female body
● Hormonal role and what to do when they decline
● Cardiovascular disease prevention, lifestyle modification
