We’re coming in hot ... again!

Join us, Naomi Watts and leading experts for an exploration of the latest science, advice, humor and wisdom on all things menopause.

You’re invited to join The Swell’s Los Angeles 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 and what we can do about them.

Expect an exciting new lineup and a full afternoon of thought-provoking mini-talks, panel discussions, audience roundtables and a dose of comedy followed by cocktails.

Topics will range from The Biology of Menopause, Your Brain on Menopause, The Culture of Menopause Around the World, To Hormone Therapy or Not, Optimizing Your Physical & Mental Health for Peri-Menopause and Beyond, Sex & Relationships, Sleep, Nutrition, and more.
