6:00 – 6:45 PM
Join the Boston 10K for Women and Midi Health for a practical conversation about perimenopause and the active woman. We’ll explore how hormonal changes can begin as early as your 30s and show up in unexpected ways—from changes in sleep, mood, recovery, body composition, pelvic health, and performance. Midi clinician Amanda Rosales, DNP, APRN, FNP, will break down what’s happening in the body, treatment and lifestyle options, and what women should know to keep moving and feeling strong through midlife.
Where Is It?
The sessions will be held virtually on Zoom, and will take the format of an interactive panel discussion and live Q&A.
Why?
Navigating postpartum recovery is one of the most critical and challenging phases a female runner faces. Beyond post-birth recovery, women also experience significant physical changes during perimenopause and menopause that affect performance, injury risk, and mood. While general running advice exists, specialized guidance on postpartum body mechanics, pelvic floor safety and lifespan transition is hard to find. This series provides evidence-based, compassionate care strategies directly to runners from trusted health specialists.
Who?
The sessions will be led by two experts:
Dr. Hannah Mecaskey Conley, LICSW, LABA
Therapist specializing in women’s and postpartum mental health, running coach and Boston 10K for Women Race Ambassador.
Amanda Rosales, DNP, APRN, FNP
Clinical Manager with Midi Health, specializing in perimenopause and menopause, with a longstanding background in women’s health.
