Why Creating Safe Spaces for Women’s Wellness Is Non-Negotiable
This past week, I opened my home to host a transformative wellness retreat for 80 extraordinary women of YPO leaders, visionaries, and changemakers who gathered to discuss what’s often left unsaid: menopause, perimenopause, and the rise of GLP-1 therapies.
From the first moment, there was a palpable energy connection, trust, and shared purpose. There’s truly nothing like bringing high-performing women into one space to support, learn from, and lift one another. When we speak openly about hormonal health, longevity, and the shifts happening in midlife, we unlock community-driven strength.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, one of today’s leading experts in women’s hormonal health. She offered powerful, science-backed strategies that helped us better understand our bodies and feel empowered in our wellness choices.
Her recent interview with Mel Robbins is a must-watch: https://lnkd.in/eY3Ng9Vb
A standout conversation during the retreat was around GLP-1 medications Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro which are being widely used for weight management and metabolic health in midlife women. These therapies can offer incredible benefits, but they also require discernment.
GLP-1 Pros:
• Effective in reducing weight and visceral fat
• Supports appetite control and metabolic reset
• May improve insulin sensitivity
• Emerging benefits for brain health and cognitive support
We’re not promoting shortcuts we’re creating space for education, inquiry, and intentional wellness choices. And now, we’re bringing that energy to the global stage.
Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming YPO Women’s Wellness Summit, January 15–17, 2026 in Los Angeles. She’ll go even deeper, sharing insights on hormonal optimization, longevity, and midlife vitality.
What you’ll gain:
• Access to world-class experts
• Connection with Global YPO women
• Real talk on hormones, GLP-1s, and midlife health
• A global network of high-performing women ready to thrive
Audience: YPO Women Members & Spouse/Partners (no men)
