My Menopause Playbook Group Coaching Program

When I started My Menopause Playbook, my most significant issues were low energy, sleep issues, and not feeling myself. I was changing my dosing and medication way too often, trying different things because nothing seemed to work. I posted on the Facebook group, and Cheri immediately gave me helpful suggestions. She jumped on a call with me to try to help with my situation and told me about her group coaching. I joined because I had so much to learn about menopause, and Cheri is very knowledgeable. Her suggestions from that first phone call helped me. I wasn't able to handle my thyroid medicine, and she gave me ideas to try that worked for me. During the group coaching, I set large goals that I have incorporated into my daily habits and life. My biggest goal was to be balanced, feel more myself, work on my stress, sleep 7 hours a night, and have the energy to do my workouts. I incorporated many of the suggestions Cheri recommended, like setting up a morning and night routine, doing mini movements throughout the day, and eating for my menopause type (which I had no idea about before this).

I've grown in the program, especially in my knowledge base, and I am confident that I have set healthy goals that allow me to feel my best. I understand where I should be in relation to my labs and symptoms, and I learned that many of my lifestyle choices are the cause of my symptoms. It's not just a lack of hormones like I thought. I still have a long way to go, but I'm doing my morning and night routines (mostly), eating more balanced food, which includes more carbs (yeah!), and I've even gotten some nights with 7 hours of sleep. I have all the knowledge and support to make my goals now, and I can't put a price on it. It's so important to me.

My Menopause Playbook has made a significant difference in my life and my future plans. I highly encourage every woman to do something for themselves. Menopause is not something we usually learn about from anyone, so we need to seek out knowledgeable people who can help us on our journey. I can't say enough good things about Cheri and the program she has developed. It is just what I needed specific to my health and needs. 

At the start of the program I had just gotten on injections BHRT and was still pretty miserable. Horrible insomnia, mood swings, low energy, no motivation, headaches daily, hardly any appetite, trouble focusing, nerve issues, depression, hopelessness.i was having a lot of pain in my back, hips, legs, muscle aches and had not been working since November 2023 due to sciatica and spinal degeneration and bone loss. I am in osteopenia. 

I joined the program because I wanted a better understanding of what was going on with my body, how I could do things other than just BHRT to improve my overall health and symptoms and hopefully help in understanding how to balance my hormones that I was taking. My vision that I set for myself as a goal by the end was to have more energy, to have better sleep and to feel like doing things again. To have joy in my life again and to be able to get out of bed in the morning.

Now that the program is complete, I’m down weight wise, in inches, I’m sleeping a little better most nights, I’m having better days where I’m getting up earlier, getting things done, better mood most of the time, doing more of the creative stuff that I enjoy and even working a little bit. Many of my symptoms have improved. Having days with a lot less pain and aches, less headaches. My clarity and memory is much better. I’m sleeping longer amounts of time in between waking up at night, my mood is much better, I have more energy and motivation to do things. My nerve pain is less, my depression is mostly gone and I have lost weight. I just feel better than I have in a long time. I still have a ways to go but I’m definitely improved and can see a light at the end of the tunnel now.

The amount of education and things I learned about what and why my body is doing what it’s doing, is invaluable. Many of my drs did not know any of this information and now I’m armed with what I need to get the treatment that I need to feel better. I now understand how hormones work, what your body needs to be balanced and what tests I need to have done to track my progress. Also the additional supplements, and non medical things I can do to help myself feel better is so important. I learned so many things that I will continue to work on to be the best version of myself. 

I am so grateful for meeting Cherri when I did, and for the opportunity to learn from her. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about hormones and how our bodies change as we go through peri and menopause but her generosity and passion to help others goes above and beyond. You will not regret anything if you do the program. Her invaluable feedback is the bonus to all the materials she provides with the coaching. I’m definitely in such a better place because of what I have learned in the program. Lastly having others who are going through the same thing really helps to make you feel seen and understood. I learned a lot from the other women in the group as well and I’m so thankful for their openness and vulnerability throughout the 12 weeks.

Before I started the Menopause Playbook, I was feeling conflicted about all of the mixed information out there on HRT. I was also feeling significant fatigue and had a poor exercises tolerance despite my best efforts to stay consistent.

Now that I have completed My Menopause Playbook, I am tolerating strength training 3 days per week (without significant fatigue or soreness like before). I feel a better connection with myself and know that there is always more to learn (which I look forward to!). I have a good foundation of knowledge which is important to establish before considering how hormones will affect our body. Some of this great info includes body systems, such as the thyroid; stress management, sleep, nutrition, exercise, detoxification, and creating habits and purpose.

In addition to this foundation that Cheri taught, she led a wonderful group discussion, while making each one of us in the group feeling heard and valued. She always followed up with additional information on our private Facebook group and encouraged everyone in the group to participate.

What sets Cheri apart is not just her deep knowledge of menopause, but also her compassionate, non-judgmental approach. I felt empowered, not overwhelmed, and learned how to navigate the emotional, physical, and mental changes that come with this phase of life. Whether through helpful strategies for managing stress or supplements to support specific issues, every session left me with valuable insights and a sense of having support from Cheri and the group.

I've been dealing with extreme irritability, brain fog and fatigue and unsure about where to start to work toward getting some relief and feeling somewhat normal again?

I'm still dealing with irritability and some brain fog, but I'm now aware that decisions that I make with diet, exercise, reducing and managing stress, etc. will impact my mood and health?

You'll receive an abundance of knowledge and support with this program and you'll come out of this knowing that you have the power to make changes to your diet and lifestyle that put you on your own path to balancing your hormones.

Before beginning My Menopause Playbook I was uneducated in how menopause affects more than just our hormones and how there is much more than just treating the symptoms with BHRT to achieving optimal health.

After completing the program, I feel like I have a better understanding of not only the vast symptoms of menopause and how to treat them but also the other changes in habits that are required to feel our best.

The information your are going to receive in this course is worth every penny paid. You will learn so much about different methods of using HRT, how each one affects people differently, when and why you should take it, how not only hormones, but how our thyroid contributes to the symptoms of menopause, why there is so much conflicting information and who to speak to for help.

Cheri is the most compassionate person I have every met. She spends a great deal of her own time listening to everyone and never discrediting what others have to say. She is extremely knowledgeable in this field and is always willing to help. She is great at assessing each person individually and making suggestions on ways to approach our health care providers to ensure they fully understand what we are up against and in turn hopefully prescribe the solutions to our symptoms.

Before My Menopause Playbook, I was struggling with why my body was working against me on so many levels. Mentally and physically I was not doing well. I am now in a better place of understanding how many different factors are affecting my health. It’s not just my hormones (or lack of) working against me. It was my sleep habits , thyroid, stress , and eating habits and lack of movement.

There isn’t a word wasted in this course - everything is meaningful in working towards a healthier end. Learning how everything is connected and sometimes working against you helps to educate yourself to make better choices. I have always been of the mindset you have to be your own health advocate this course helps you learn about the whole process.

This is the kind of course that should be a part of routine health care. Some women will float through menopause without even knowing it happened, but even they would benefit by knowing what can happen to our heart, bones and mind as we age.

When I started My Menopause Playbook, I was 2 years post menopause. I was struggling to re-balance my life and feel like myself again. I was stuck trying to sift through information and make sense of all the changes. 

Since completing the program I have made many positive lifestyle changes. I have a much better understanding of the ways menopause affects my body and how to implement changes to continually better myself. 

Having a regular check in for accountability and being surrounded by support and encouragement made so much of a difference in my ability to make the changes I needed. My quality of life if much better after the program than when I started. You won’t regret it!

I had my hormone replacement therapy handled and figured out, but nothing else, so it wasn't a comprehensive wellness action plan. 

I now have a plan to address morning routines, evening routines, nutrition, stress, and sleep hygiene. 

Cheri fosters a supportive environment and is a gold mine of information. She's extremely accommodating and a skilled coach. I encourage you to dive right in!

I was waiting to get BHRT, struggling with perimenopause and everything that goes with it. I have started BHRT and am slowly starting to feel better. Cheri’s program was really helpful to learn how different foods can help in the phase of life. Cheri is full of knowledge and happy to help in any way she can.

Before Cheri’s Playbook, I was experiencing headaches and poor sleep plus unhappiness with not understanding my mid section weight gain and lethargic behaviour.

With my new knowledge and healthier routines from the course, I am 100% accountable for my symptoms and have a more positive outlook on life.

To self advocate, one needs to know what's going on in your own body. Through this program, I learned the causes of my symptoms and action steps required to live a happy and healthier life! I highly recommend getting all the blood tests completed before embarking on this course to make sense of the body systems, hormones, and numbers.

I have been taking BHRT for last almost 4 years (BioTe Pellets). it definitely improved all my symptoms and gave me back my life. But it also made a fibroid I already have grow, so I needed a hysterectomy which was done in June 2024. My Menopause Playbook was going to start after that, and so I joined to learn more from Cheri regarding the overall outlook on not just the hormones, but full self care so I could tackle my health especially with other natural products, or with exercise, movement, nutrition information. I needed tweaking of my hormones after the hysterectomy and also make sure my thyroid was keeping up. so joining the program would help understand how to and what else to do to get back to optimal doses and health.

I knew a well rounded program like The Menopause Playbook will not only give me the tools for overall health but also connect me with a group of others in the same boat. It has definitely help me understand the science behind hormones and hormonal health, how nutrition and food. exercise and movement play a role on overall health and symptom management, what it means to have optimal levels of hormones and thyroid, how insulin resistance plays a role, thyroid levels and its optimal levels help. It has also made me stay accountable with my daily activities including sleep and relaxation to gain control and also stay true to my nature. The information and tools presented are definitely to be taken as daily routine activities and not as a one time do and fix. Incorporating the tools has made it life changing. I can see that even though its time to get my next BHRT round, I am able to sustain my energy levels while on vacation. So definitely has helped. 

Cheri is an awesome health coach with a lot of information. She understands the science behind it, and is passionate, compassionate and take efforts to help you dissect the information and help you with your symptoms, read reports, and get you on your health track. T

he Menopause Playbook is full of information, building up week after week, to see how it can all come together with tools of management, with natural at home products, vitamin and minerals, sleep and relaxation, exercise and movement to get you feeling good and overcome mood swings, irritation and feel like new. I would highly recommend the program to anyone in Peri or already in menopause. Truly a great value program.

Cheri is the best! always there for you! and highly knowledgeable, passionate, and patient and truly is looking to make a difference in the lives of women suffering in the phase of peri and menopause.

Before starting My Menopause Playbook,I was taking hormone therapy; testosterone, progesterone and estrogen. I understood these levels were not optimal but I wasn't sure why and how they worked for my body.

Now I have a better understanding how HRT works and the many other factors that play a part in menopause. It's complex! I need and will continue to need assistance from experts like Cheri and functional doctors to help me navigate menopause. It's not a one time learn but a continuous journey. Forever grateful for those who are knowledgable in this subject.

Get help! Get knowledge! It's hard to figure out on your own. It's a journey and you need someone with the experience and knowledge to guide you. Cheri has been such a blessing and has such a big heart to help. Everyone needs her to help navigate menopause. If you sign up for this class you may think I might not attend all of them but once you start you look forward to the next class and the bond of other women going through the same struggles you face.
