Her research focuses on clinical psychology and psychotherapy, particularly in relation to hormonal aspects of menopausal symptoms in the perimenopause. In addition, Jessica has experience in psychotherapy and works as a psychotherapist i.A. in cognitive behavioural therapy and behavioural medicine on an outpatient basis with patients with various problems. In all these areas, Jessica is particularly committed to promoting women's mental health. Jessica Grub gave us the webinar: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Learning to cope with the menopause. This is what the webinar is about: What is it all about? Where does it come from? What does it mean for me? What do I do with it? Such questions can be constant companions of your own menopausal experience. In this interactive course we would like to support you in finding individual answers to these questions - through inputs from cognitive behavioural therapy. In these 60 minutes we will get to know the world of CBT together and explore proven techniques from it. Learn how to recognise and change negative thoughts and get practical tips that you can tailor to suit you. Our aim is to give you valuable input that is suitable for everyday life and that may accompany you on your individual path. You can still watch the recording of the webinar (cost: 22 euros). for recording

x Claudia Menopause und Health Promotion Coach (BSc)

Hello, my name is Claudia Brett. I am a consulting menopause and health promotion coach for NOBODYTOLDME and my business is called "menopause and more". I grew up near Cologne, Germany in a village, moved to London, UK when I was 25 and lived there for 25 years. Since about 2 years I live near Zurich, Switzerland. I worked in the reinsurance field for many years as a Medical Underwriter. After a career break until our children (now 21 and 23 years old) were older, I first completed a degree in Health and Social Care and then, in 2017, a degree as a Bachelor in Health Promotion BSc Hons. Although I had a lot to do with health issues in my professional and academic life for many years, I didn't know much about menopause. I didn't realize until I was 46, while studying health promotion, that I had been experiencing symptoms attributable to peri-menopause for years. Then, as I became more involved with the topic, I realized that counseling for menopausal women is not very good and often still a taboo topic. I decided in 2018 that this had to change!!! "menopause and more" was created to provide evidence-based information for women to feel informed and empowered to make the best decisions for their menopause management. I support and guide women in their decision-making and, most importantly, advise employers to work towards a more menopause-friendly workplace. I am a member of the British Menopause Society and the Swiss Society of Gynecological Endocrinology and Menopause and attend regular continuing education on menopause.

I am Susanne Liedtke, studied Oecotrophologist and founder of NOBODYTOLDME. The idea for this site came about when I myself went through menopause and was first surprised and then annoyed at how difficult it is to get sensible information on this important topic. It was clear to me that something had to change, and quickly. After a relatively short time, I decided: if I'm going to tackle this, I'm going to tackle it right. That's why today I'm 100% dedicated to building this platform. My personal menopause biography reads like many others: I still had my mother's menopause in just as vivid a memory as my children's puberty, without ever giving much thought to my hormones. I first heard the term "perimenopause" when I was 49. No one had told me that such a powerful and profound process begins even before my last period, and that menopause is virtually the reverse of puberty, none of which I gave much thought to. That something is changing - and in my case already in my early 40s - I already felt that. I just didn't associate it with the decline in my hormones ... the poor sleep, the dry, dull hair, the breaking fingernails, the aching shoulder ... What actually happens to our body and to our psyche when the hormones slowly dry up or even fluctuate and we exchange a piece of femininity for something else? Something we don't yet know exactly what it is... I wanted to know more. And I found everything I read about it online to be rather off-putting. The variety of opinions was confusing and the range of products didn't appeal to me at all. My friends felt the same way. And that's why NOBODYTOLDME exists today. I quit my job at Google to break the taboo of menopause, to educate, and to offer products and services that are proven to help. And to make sure that not every woman over 40 has to embark on the journey alone. Whether it's to go to the next doctor's appointment better prepared, to finally find something that helps you sleep, or to simply better understand what's going on in our bodies right now. NOBODYTOLDME about menopause. And that's about to change.

We are incredibly happy to have Christina as a consultant at our side. We found her via - you can hardly say it - Facebook. There, a mutual acquaintance connected us: Anja, who thought that this could somehow fit.

Christina is a licensed gynecologist who trained at the renowned University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf - the UKE - and also worked there. In her early years as a young doctor, she had the opportunity to train in gynecopathology and cytology. She was the liaison between the gynecology and pathology departments there and was part of the cervical dysplasia team - what deals with cervical cancer. It has always been her passion to look at things up close and even better under the microscope.

Her interest in surface cells and functions was further deepened by her PhD in Pediatric Dermatology. During this time, she learned a great deal about the disruptive effects of soaps and detergents on skin and mucous membranes.

For family reasons, she came to the United States in 2003 for her second residency in gynecology. As part of her research there, she studied the relationship between intrauterine antibiotic exposure in the newborn and the later development of allergies, asthma and eczema. This work once again demonstrated to her the importance of preserving the human microbiome.

She then began working in the gynecology faculty practice at the University of Maryland. There, she trained as an expert in vulvovaginal diseases and disorders of the vaginal microbiome. She was also a certified surgeon at the Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG certified).

Today, as a practicing gynecologist, she sees patients in a Baltimore practice.

"Dr. Enzmann has been very helpful to me. She is personable, intelligent and made me feel comfortable talking about such intimate personal issues. I highly recommend her to any woman experiencing menopausal symptoms."

Jessi Davidson, Google Review

Here she primarily accompanies women who suffer from particularly heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids or endometriosis. In addition, helping women with menopause-related symptoms is a matter close to her heart. As such, she is also a certified member of the North American Menopause Society.

Christina is the mother of two children and is fluent in English, Spanish, German and French. She also runs the blog Gyn and Tonic. All of this would be almost unbearable, but Christina is also incredibly likeable. And this spring, she was in Congo with HEAL Africa USA, working with local women doctors to introduce a simple cervical cancer screening program.

Christina, welcome to Team NOBODYTOLDME. We are very happy that you are part of it.
