Menopause Guide. Women’s Health Advocate. Nurse

Meet Jill, RN, BSN

I’m Jill Chmielewski, a Registered Nurse, Certified Health Coach, Menopause Educator, and Women’s Health Advocate with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. I’m also a bold voice in the midlife health movement, calling B.S. on the outdated belief that it’s all downhill after 40, and replacing it with something far more powerful: the truth that your next chapter can be your best chapter yet.

I hold a Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law (MJ) and am certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I’ve completed both Level 1 and Level 2 training at the School of Applied Functional Medicine and pursued advanced education in menopause, hormones, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Most recently, Jill was featured in the groundbreaking menopause docuseries Four Days, created by filmmaker Charles Mattocks and a passionate team of experts and women willing to share their stories. The series was born from a quiet question: What if we finally changed the conversation, and turned it into a movement? Because the silence around menopause has gone on too long. And because women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in this next chapter of life. The docuseries is expected to air in late fall 2025.

Continuing Education

Invite Jill to Speak

Jill makes her audiences feel at ease through her warm, approachable, and empathetic demeanor. She shares her vast knowledge in a simple and straightforward way, so audiences can get as much value as possible, without feeling overwhelmed.

Jill not only educates her audiences on the changes happening in their lives, but helps them feel validated in their concerns — something that is generally lacking in today’s women’s healthcare climate. It is her mission to equip women with the knowledge and tools they need to make empowered and confident decisions about their health and well-being.

Jill’s audiences often report that before learning from her, they didn’t know what to expect during perimenopause and menopause and assumed, “This is just the way it is.” They leave her talks feeling inspired to take action to not only alleviate their symptoms, but to live a more vibrant and healthy life and advocate for themselves.

Jill is a knowledgeable and powerful ally to women everywhere.

Jill’s Main Speaking Topics

Preparing for the Wild Ride from Perimenopause to Menopause & Beyond

This talk is ideal for learning what to expect during one’s “pausal years.”

Jill explores the outward symptoms and silent physiologic changes that occur during this time, as well as various treatment options.

She gives an overview of the elephant in the room — breast cancer and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

She also discusses how to find a menopause provider and gives multiple resources to learn more.

Getting Unconfused About Hormones: The Truth about HRT

This talk is a more in-depth discussion of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and how women in their pausal years can benefit from it.

Jill helps clear up confusion about HRT, discusses the difference between synthetic and bioidentical, risks and benefits, and safety and effectiveness.

She also shares valuable information on when a woman should consider starting HRT and how to find a knowledgeable provider.

Menopause: The Change that Changes Everything

We’ve been taught that menopause is simply the end of a period—but the truth is, it’s the beginning of one of the most profound biological shifts a woman will ever experience. Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes or hormones. It’s a full-body transformation that impacts a woman’s brain, bones, heart, metabolism, sleep, mood, muscles, and more.

In this eye-opening and empowering talk, Jill reframes menopause as a critical health turning point, one that most women are unprepared for, but don’t need to fear. You’ll learn why the strategies that worked in your 30s and 40s won’t serve you now, what silent changes are happening in your body, and most importantly, what you can do to protect your health, energy, and vitality for the decades ahead.

This is your midlife wake-up call. Not to panic, but to pivot. Because when you understand “the change,” you gain the power to rewrite how you age.

How It Works

Jill primarily gives her talks over Zoom or in person in the Scottsdale, AZ area to:

  • Groups of up to 5 women for a more personalized and intimate conversation that has a “dinner with friends” feel

  • Larger groups of up to 1,000, typically women participating in a health-related online coaching program
