We’re coming in hot … again!

Join The Swell, Naomi Watts, leading experts and a vibrant, badass community of women for an all-new exploration of the latest science, advice, humor and wisdom on all things menopause.

You’re invited to join The Swell’s second annual New York Menopause Symposium, co-hosted by actor, entrepreneur, and activist Naomi Watts and her new company, Stripes.

Together we have assembled a collection of the most informed and relevant doctors, scientists and experts to discuss our most pressing questions about the unavoidable changes that happen to our bodies (not to mention, lives and relationships!) and what we can do about them.

Expect a full day of thought-provoking mini-talks, panel discussions, audience q&a’s, curated mini-marketplace, food and refreshments, community connection and a dose of comedy followed by cocktails.

Topics will range from The Menopause Brain, The Myths of Hormone Therapy, Notes to My Pre-Menopausal Self, The Culture of Menopause, The Science of Hormones, Menopause Management, Sexual Wellness & Keeping Our Pilot Light Lit, Optimizing Your Emotional & Physical Well-Being During Peri-Menopause and Beyond, Exploring Alternative Therapies, Sex & Relationships, Bone & Heart Health, Longevity, Nutrition and more.

This community of women is on fire! We can’t wait to see you!
