Menopause Guide. Women’s Health Advocate. Nurse.
Meet Jill, RN, BSN
I’m Jill Chmielewski—a Registered Nurse, Certified Health Coach, Menopause Educator, and Women’s Health Advocate with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. I’m also a bold voice in the midlife health movement, calling B.S. on the outdated belief that it’s all downhill after 40—and replacing it with something far more powerful: the truth that your next chapter can be your best chapter yet.
I hold a Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law and am certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I’ve completed both Level 1 and Level 2 training at the School of Applied Functional Medicine and pursued advanced education in menopause, hormones, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As the Education Lead at Respin and a trusted clinician, I blend science-backed knowledge with deep respect for women’s lived experiences—always championing your right to understand your body, make informed decisions, and advocate fiercely for your health.
As a lifelong critical thinker, I believe that women live in their bodies, and they know them best. My work centers on helping you reconnect with your body, meet your changing needs, and support yourself through every stage of the menopause transition and beyond. I believe decline is not inevitable, but it is the default setting if we don’t adapt to what our bodies need in midlife and as we age.
I’ve co-created two personalized Menopause Health & Hormone Optimization programs designed to help women feel better, think clearer, and age on their own terms. These science-backed, deeply supportive programs offer one-on-one care for women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause.
I’m also the creator of The Beginner’s Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, a trusted resource that helps you approach HRT with clarity and confidence. At the heart of all my work is a single truth: education changes everything. With the right knowledge, tools, and support, you can thrive, not just survive, through midlife and beyond.
You can thrive, not just survive. And I’m here to help.
In my wildest dreams, I never envisioned myself specializing in the care of peri- and menopausal women. However, when I began working as a health coach in 2016, it became evident that the majority of my patients were grappling with symptoms rooted in hormonal imbalances. Back then, there was very little understanding of perimenopause and menopause, and despite my extensive 30+ years of experience as a nurse who had worked for many years in women's health, I realized I had never delved deeply into the realms of hormones, perimenopause, or menopause.
Like so many women, I believed hormones solely regulated reproductive functions and was unaware of their profound impact on a woman’s overall health. Determined to bridge this knowledge gap, I embarked on a journey to learn everything I could related to perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and hormone replacement therapy. I'm on a mission to help women understand how menopausal hormone changes affect their health and vitality and provide them with the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive through midlife, menopause, and into their older adult years.
Invite Jill to Speak
Jill makes her audiences feel at ease through her warm, approachable, and empathetic demeanor. She shares her vast knowledge in a simple and straightforward way, so audiences can get as much value as possible, without feeling overwhelmed.
Jill not only educates her audiences on the changes happening in their lives, but helps them feel validated in their concerns — something that is generally lacking in today’s women’s healthcare climate. It is her mission to equip women with the knowledge and tools they need to make empowered and confident decisions about their health and well-being.
Jill’s audiences often report that before learning from her, they didn’t know what to expect during perimenopause and menopause and assumed, “This is just the way it is.” They leave her talks feeling inspired to take action to not only alleviate their symptoms, but to live a more vibrant and healthy life and advocate for themselves.
Jill is a knowledgeable and powerful ally to women everywhere.
