Monarch Strength | October 2025
News & Updates
Empowering women in their Pause years to move, thrive and reclaim their vitality.
October is Menopause Awareness Month!
Pause Facts:
Over 1 billion women worldwide will be postmenopausal by 2026.
Symptoms can begin up to 10 years before menopause.
Strength training, nutrition, and community are key for thriving through this transition.
“My journey through perimenopause inspired me to create Monarch Strength. I realized there was a lack of support and resources for women like me, who wanted to feel their best during this time of life.
Monarch Strength is a space where women can feel empowered, supported, and educated.”
— Jennifer Sanchez, Founder & Certified Menopause & Strength Coach
Community Spotlight: 2025 Perinatal Well-Being Summit (Mind, Body & Baby)
Monarch Strength showed up strong at the Mind, Body & Baby Summit in Fort Collins! The event was a success — filled with connection, laughter, and meaningful conversations with women seeking real, holistic and evidence-based support during their Pause years.
About the Perinatal Well-Being Coalition
The Perinatal Well-Being Coalition is a collaborative network dedicated to supporting mental health and family wellness before and after birth. Established by the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, the Coalition brings together a wide range of perinatal care professionals, including mental health providers, nurses, doulas, midwives, OB-GYNs, pediatricians, researchers, and program administrators, to help improve outcomes for families in our community.
Fun Fact: One of Jennifer’s goals is to be a featured presenter at a Perinatal Well-being Summit!
If we connected at the Summit, I would love to hear from you. Please share your experience by completing our short “MBBB Survey” - your insights help Monarch Strength grow and better serve women through every stage of life.
For those interested in learning how to navigate perimenopause and/or rebuilding strength after childbirth, please reach out for your free consultation!
Menopause Workshop: October 23, 2025
In October, we explored, “Menopause Bootcamp,” by Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD, with myself and expert, Michelle Bramlett (NTP). This workshop was specific to sleep during perimenopause and beyond. Together, we discovered practical tools, science-based strategies, and community support to help women thrive in their Pause years.
Menopause Bookcamp workshops are focused on education, curiosity and empowerment around menopausal wellness and holistic health approaches.
