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 I’m also a bold voice in the midlife health movement, calling B.S. on the outdated belief that it’s all downhill after 40, and replacing it with something far more powerful: the truth that your next chapter can be your best chapter yet.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). I am currently on the Medical Advisory Board at the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine and Respin Health.

Most recently, I joined the Balance App team as the U.S. expert. Balance was founded by Dr. Louise Newson and is dedicated to educating and empowering women around the world with evidence-based information, helping them better understand their hormone health and make informed choices for their bodies.

I was also featured in the groundbreaking menopause docuseries Four Days, created by filmmaker Charles Mattocks alongside a passionate team of experts and women willing to share their stories. The series was born from a simple but powerful question: What if we finally changed the menopause conversation and turned it into a movement? Because the silence around menopause has gone on too long—and women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in this next chapter of life. The docuseries is expected to air in early 2026.
