About the Panelists

episode one

Introducing Episode 1: The Change Begins

Since its initial screening in January, the documentary has been significantly expanded and reimagined as The Change Begins, the feature-length first episode of The Change: Unleashing the Wild Woman documentary series.


The expanded film welcomes Dr. Kourtney Sims alongside Dr. Selena Lalji, adding greater depth to the discussion of the stages of menopause, symptoms, treatment options, and integrative approaches to women’s health. Dr. Sims brings a unique perspective as a board-certified OB-GYN and obesity medicine physician with national certifications in menopause and functional medicine.


The feature also explores how decades of women’s health initiatives have influenced the evolution of menopausal care—providing important historical context for where women’s healthcare stands today.


More than an update, The Change Begins marks the beginning of the series and the next chapter of the conversation.

Our First Premiere Screening was a GREAT success!

January 11th was a milestone for our women's wellness mission. McGovern Theater of the Health Museum was well attended and the Q&A Expert Panel was fantastic! Nutritionist Tammy Karni, Dr. Shelena Lalji, and Dr. Kourtney Sims (from left to right) had such strong, positive, and natural connections with each other. Every attendee left inspired and informed, and they made sure we knew it!


A special thanks to every person and organization who helped make this night happen, including The Health Museum, Whole Foods, and these wonderful ladies for their resources and belief in our mission. Truly...A dream COME TRUE and only the beginning!!!

"I really enjoyed participating"

"Thank you so much. This was so informative. There's so many things we don't know as physicians. I'm a physician and I learned so much that I wish I'd learned earlier 25 years ago when I was training. But as a woman, it's so wonderful to hear. This is so important, that men and women understand what happens during menopause."
