30+ Menopause Experts Under One Roof: WisePause Gives Midlife Women Direct Access to Solutions

With many specialists booked for months, the summit tackles brain fog, sleep, sex, bladder, hair loss, and honors "We Do Not Care Club" founder Melani Sanders

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For women navigating brain fog, sleeplessness, hair changes, bladder issues, shifts in sexual health and low energy, finding a clinician with menopause expertise can mean months on a waiting list – and, often, still no clear path forward. On Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, WisePause Wellness will bring more than 30 leading physicians, functional medicine practitioners, nutrition specialists and fitness experts together at the Los Angeles Skirball Cultural Center for a one-day summit built around the important and life-changing questions women are asking now as they experience the challenges of the middle of their lives.

The 12th Annual WisePause Wellness (Peri)Menopause Live Summit will transform the Skirball Cultural Center's Ahmanson Ballroom into a one-day resource center for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and midlife health. Many of the featured experts have multi-month waitlists from women wanting to be treated by them. The program brings medical and functional medicine perspectives together so attendees can hear science-based guidance, compare approaches and leave with practical next steps.

"Women should not have to spend years searching for someone who understands what is happening to their bodies," said Denise Pines, founder of WisePause Wellness. "WisePause collapses years of searching and waiting into one day of access. Women can hear from experts across specialties, ask better questions and leave with a clearer plan for what to do next."

• What happens to the body during perimenopause and menopause - and how to treat it - Dr. Amy Day, Dr. Tracy Sylvester and Dr. Julie Taylor

Additionally- and new to the program this year- short movement, breathwork and meditation resets will be woven throughout the program to help attendees pause and recharge between conversations.
