Explore a New Way to Experience Menopause & Aging

What if I told you that you don’t have to accept decline as an inevitable part of aging?

What if everything you’ve been told about menopause and midlife—that it’s the beginning of the end, that it’s all downhill from here, that you just have to “tough it out” was wrong?

Because it is.

You are not destined to suffer through hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, mood swings, and sleepless nights. You don’t have to accept weight gain, muscle loss, joint pain, or the quiet loss of confidence as “just part of getting older.”

I’m on a mission to change the way women experience midlife, menopause, and aging.

Here’s the truth: Our current medical system is set up to manage disease, not to build real health. We need to move away from just treating symptoms and start focusing on restoring true health through self-advocacy.

I teach women how to understand their bodies, their hormones, and their options. When you know how your body works, you can make confident, informed choices about your health.

I help women take back control of their health by restoring hormonal balance, rebuilding strength, and protecting vitality at every stage of midlife and beyond. Too often, women are told to wait it out, take another prescription, or accept decline as normal. But midlife is our chance to rebuild. We can restore healthy hormone signals, get stronger, and prevent the frailty and chronic disease that are often seen as just part of aging.

Through my work, I encourage women to build their own Menopause Health & Vitality Toolkit—a personalized collection of strategies, therapies, nutrients, and daily habits that support health, strength, and longevity through midlife and beyond.

Your medical provider should be your partner, not the gatekeeper of your health, or the one who gives you permission to care for your body. When women understand their physiology, they stop asking for permission and start creating strength, confidence, and vitality that lasts a lifetime.

Education is power. Self-advocacy is freedom. Together, we’re redefining midlife health.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET

The Beginner’s Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy will provide you with everything you need to know to help you get started on your HRT journey.

Too many women are told by their OB/GYN or health care provider:

  • That hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is unsafe and unnecessary

  • That they are too young to start HRT

  • That they cannot use HRT because of a family history of breast cancer

  • That their symptoms aren’t bad enough to warrant HRT

  • That they don’t “qualify” for HRT because they are still getting their period

  • And then, they are given an anti-depressant for their mood, sleeping pills for their insomnia, the birth control pill to “regulate” their period, and told to get to the gym and eat less to address their weight gain.

  • None of these “treatments” addresses the root cause of “Pausal” symptoms, which result from hormone fluctuations, hormone imbalances, and hormone deficiencies.

You don’t have to suffer miserably through the perimenopausal years or wait until you’ve reached menopause to begin treatment for symptoms. Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical hormones will help reduce pausal symptoms and provide a whole host of other protective benefits as well.

In The Beginner’s Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, you will learn:

  • What your sex hormones have been doing in your body over the last two to three decades, and why do you feel miserable when they decline

  • The benefits and risks of HRT

  • The difference between synthetic and bioidentical HRT

  • The truth about compounded hormones

  • Which forms of HRT are safe and which are best to avoid

  • How to find an HRT practitioner

  • What to expect when starting HRT

  • And so much more!

RN, BSN

Hi, I’m Jill Chmielewski—a Registered Nurse, Certified Health Coach, Menopause Educator, and passionate women’s health advocate with over 30 years in healthcare. I’m here to challenge the outdated idea that it’s all downhill after 40 and replace it with a powerful truth: your next chapter can be your best yet.

I was trained in the standard, medication-focused approach to medicine, but I soon noticed its limits, especially for women going through midlife. Most conventional care focuses on diagnosing and prescribing, aiming to control disease by masking symptoms instead of helping the body return to its natural balance.

Over time, my approach changed. I realized that true healing means understanding how the body works, how different systems talk to each other, how hormones affect every tissue, and how we can support these natural processes instead of blocking them.

Traditional medicine often puts the most weight on randomized trials and set prescribing rules. I believe that real-world experience, what people actually go through, and the basic truths of biology matter just as much. The body is designed with its own intelligence. When we help restore its natural signals, we do more than just manage symptoms—we help rebuild true health.
