An eight-week women’s health education cohort
Introducing the Root-Cause Curriculum: eight weeks of whole-woman education, practical habits and sister-circle connection for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and life beyond.
Designed with Black women at the center. Start date, format and pricing to be announced.
The Women’s Health Innovation Institute brings culturally responsive education and community to women navigating hormonal transitions. With Black women at the center, our new cohort connects whole-person learning, everyday habits and self-advocacy—so you can ask better questions and make informed decisions.
Our new signature cohort · in development
A whole-woman learning experience connecting nutrition, stress, movement, gut health, environmental awareness and emotional wellbeing. Build understanding, track patterns and prepare better questions for your care team.
Keep me informedYour learning journey
“Root cause” means exploring possible contributors—not identifying a single diagnosis. This is education, not medical testing or treatment.
One week. One clear focus.
Understand the connections, turn learning into everyday action and leave with a plan you can keep using.
Explore the bigger picture of your symptoms, without assuming a single cause. Establish a personal baseline for sleep, energy, habits and cycle patterns when applicable. Learn which questions and existing lab results to discuss with a licensed clinician.
Build practical knowledge about balanced meals, fiber, protein and micronutrient-rich foods. Explore sustainable eating patterns that support overall health through hormonal transitions.
Understand the stress-response system and how stress, sleep and menopause symptoms can interact. Practice calming routines and learn when persistent symptoms need clinical evaluation.
Reflect on your first four weeks and explore adaptable strength, mobility and gentle movement. Choose an approach that respects your ability, energy and any clinician-advised limitations.
Explore digestion, the gut microbiome and emerging research on microbial estrogen metabolism. Learn everyday gut-health habits and separate established evidence from detox and hormone-balancing claims.
Learn what endocrine disruptors are, how exposure can occur and how to evaluate product claims. Consider practical, affordable ways to reduce avoidable exposures without fear or an expensive product overhaul.
Make room for the emotional shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Explore gentle breathwork, reflection, boundaries and supportive conversations about identity and aging.
Review what you have learned, celebrate the habits you have built and create your next-step plan. Explore the planned alumni continuity circle for ongoing learning and connection.
No lab testing, personalized treatment, supplement prescriptions or guaranteed symptom changes are included. Any testing, lab interpretation or treatment belongs with an appropriately licensed clinician. Alumni-circle details will be announced separately.
Our stress module does not present “adrenal fatigue” as a diagnosis or the cause of hot flashes. Read the Endocrine Society’s explanation ↗

Meet the founder
Founder & Women’s Health Education Advocate
I founded the Women’s Health Innovation Institute to help Black women navigate healthcare with clearer information, practical self-advocacy tools and greater confidence. This mission continues a family legacy of care begun by my mother, a nursing school graduate, and is shaped by losing my grandmother and most of my aunts to cancer.
This next chapter brings that mission into an eight-week curriculum and planned sister circles for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and beyond. My focus is clear: accessible education, practical action and a community where women feel heard and equipped to advocate for themselves.
“When women share knowledge across generations, preparation replaces fear—and no woman has to navigate her health alone.”
