Menopause (Perimenopause)
Productivity Workshops.

Understanding your body. Reclaiming your power. Performing at your best. For senior executives aged 40-60, Human Resources & line managers.

Quick answer

What are the Menopause (Perimenopause) Productivity Workshops?

The Menopause (Perimenopause) Productivity Workshops are a 3-week online workshop run by Christine Phillips of Health Yourself, Bryanston, for senior executives, HR and line managers aged 40–60 who want to understand what perimenopause and menopause are doing to their bodies and keep performing at their best.

  • Format: Wednesday-evening group sessions on Zoom, R 2,300 per person, recipes and notes included; corporate workshops are tailored for a company's executives, HR and managers on request.
  • Covers: hormones 101 and the changes from 40 to 60, bio-identical hormone therapy, hormone disruptors and blood sugar, nutrition, gut and detoxification, bone density, metabolic, brain and heart health, lifestyle, sleep and stress, and manager awareness and self-advocacy.
  • Led by Christine Phillips, Board Certified Integrative Nutrition & Functional Medicine Health Coach (FMCA-certified; member of FMHCA SA and UKIHCA), in practice since 2009.

The workshop works whether you are on HRT, considering it or avoiding it — the nutrition, sleep, strength and nervous-system layer is the same either way. It is built on the Perimenopause Reset protocol and runs alongside your GP or gynaecologist, not instead of them.

Menopause (Perimenopause) Productivity Workshops.

You're somewhere between 40 and 60. Your sleep started thinning two years ago. Your weight has crept up despite eating the way you always did. Your moods land without warning. Your sex drive has gone quiet. Your skin has thinned. Your hair feels different. Your GP says “it's just menopause” and offers you HRT or an antidepressant.

None of that is wrong. It's also nowhere near enough.

The workshop bridges conventional medical knowledge with evidence-based functional medicine, delivering practical, empowering information that women can act on immediately. It covers every major system affected by hormonal changes — from brain health and bone density to metabolic health and gut function. This workshop gives women the tools, language and confidence to thrive.

The honest line

This programme is not anti-medicine. It's pro-systems. Your gynaecologist, your endocrinologist, your psychiatrist — they each handle one piece. We hold the whole picture and connect it to your real life.

Frequently asked.

Do I need to do HRT to be in this programme?
No. Whether you're on HRT, considering it, or firmly against it, this programme adapts. The functional medicine layer (nutrition, sleep, strength, nervous system) runs the same regardless.
I'm only 41 and my periods are still regular. Am I too early?
Likely not. Perimenopause can begin 10 years before your last period. If your symptoms have started, the time to build the foundation is now.
Can I do this online if I'm not in Joburg?
Yes. All sessions are available on Zoom. Workshops and in-person check-ins are optional add-ons for clients in Gauteng.
How is this different from seeing a dietitian?
A dietitian focuses on food. We hold food + hormones + sleep + strength + nervous system as one connected system. The interventions amplify each other.

Common questions

Is there midlife nutrition coaching for women in South Africa?

Yes. Christine works mainly with women in their forties and fifties, coaching nutrition together with hormones, sleep, strength and the nervous system. Sessions run 1:1 or in small groups, in Bryanston or on Zoom for women anywhere in South Africa, and every client starts with a free 20-minute consult.

Are there natural menopause options in South Africa besides treatment with HRT?

Yes. This workshop works whether you are on HRT, considering it or avoiding it: the nutrition, sleep, strength and nervous-system layer is the same either way, and women who want a fully natural approach are welcome. Christine is a functional medicine health coach, not a doctor, so any decision about HRT or other medical treatment stays with your GP or gynaecologist.

Are there menopause support groups in Johannesburg?

This workshop runs as a group on Zoom on Wednesday evenings, so women in Johannesburg and further afield can join. Christine also runs 1:1 and small-group coaching from the Health Yourself rooms in Bryanston. The free 20-minute consult is the easiest way to find the right fit.

Is Health Yourself a menopause specialist clinic in Johannesburg?

No. Health Yourself is a functional medicine coaching practice in Bryanston, Johannesburg, not a medical clinic. Christine works alongside the GPs, gynaecologists and endocrinologists you already see, not in place of them, and refers back to your doctor for anything that needs medical care.
