If you’re interested in a deep, evidence-based conversation about women’s health right now, I wanted to share an event I’ll be part of next month.

On April 25, 2026, I’ll be speaking at the Smart Human Health Summit 2026, a full-day integrative women’s health conference taking place in person in Princeton, New Jersey, and virtually for those joining from elsewhere.

The focus this year is women’s health across the lifespan — and the goal is simple: bring together physicians and experts who are doing meaningful work in this space and create room for the thoughtful, science-driven conversations women deserve to hear.

What I’ll be discussing

My session will focus on menopause and hormone therapy, a topic that continues to generate a lot of questions and confusion for many women. Specifically, I’ll be covering:

  • What the current evidence actually tells us about hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
  • Why the conversation around menopause treatment became so complicated over the past two decades
  • Who may benefit from hormone therapy, who may not, and how physicians think about risk versus benefit
  • The broader health implications of menopause — including bone health, cardiovascular health, and sleep

My goal is always the same: to help women understand the science well enough to make informed, confident decisions about their own health.

The summit is hosted by Dr. Aly Cohen, who wrote the book DETOXIFY, and the speaker lineup includes an exceptional group of experts, including:

  • Tieraona Low Dog on integrative and herbal medicine
  • Gayatri Devi on Alzheimer’s and dementia in women
  • Adi Benito-Herrero on thyroid disease and Hashimoto’s
  • Vivian Kominos on women’s heart health
  • Ashley Koff on weight management and GLP-1 medications

There will also be a panel discussion on the current state of women’s healthcare, featuring OB-GYNs Maria Sophocles and Christopher Naraine, moderated by health journalist Meghan Rabbitt and author Deborah Copaken.

The summit is designed for both healthcare professionals and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of women’s health, with expert presentations, panel discussions, and opportunities for questions and conversation.

If this is a topic that interests you, you can learn more about attending the event and register here. Whether you attend in person or virtually, it should be a thoughtful and informative day focused entirely on women’s health, and I’d love to fill the room with incredible ‘Ajenders’ like you!  

Space is limited, especially for in-person attendance. We encourage you to register soon to secure your spot. I would love to see you there!
