A thinner ponytail. A very persistent chin hair.
More strands in the shower, less volume where you want it, and new hairs where you don’t. You’d like to understand what’s changed before buying another serum.
The Pause.
Your Best Era Yet.
Perimenopause. Menopause. Your next chapter.Your changing body.
Your changing body.
Real answers.
A little laughter.
Make sense of your symptoms, understand your labs, and explore your treatment options with Dr. Michele and Dr. Kristi.
We’re in this together. The questions, the changes, the unexpected laughs. Let’s get to know this next version of you.
You want to feel good.
And feel wanted.
To get dressed and love how you look. Walk into a room with confidence. Feel desire, and feel desired. When your skin, sleep, mood, and body start changing, you want someone who will listen closely and see the whole picture. That’s where we begin.
Breakouts and fine lines. At the same time.
Your moisturizer suddenly isn’t enough. Makeup sits differently. And somehow, there’s still a breakout. Let’s get to know the skin you have now, from the inside out.
Same habits. Different waistband.
You’re eating and moving much as you always have, but getting dressed feels different. You want to understand your changing body and feel good in your clothes again.
Exhausted at 3 p.m. Wide awake at 3 a.m.
You’re too tired for the evening you planned, then too awake to sleep. Between racing thoughts and night sweats, you miss waking up ready for the day.
You lost your train of thought. And your patience.
A word disappears mid sentence. The same email takes three reads. One small thing tips you over. You miss feeling clear, steady, and more like yourself.
Your period has become a guessing game.
An early arrival. A skipped month. A flow that catches you off guard. Let’s make sense of your changing pattern and know when to look more closely.
You want to want it again.
You miss the anticipation. You want to feel wanted and enjoy the wanting, too. Let’s talk honestly about desire, dryness, comfort, and what feels good now.
One more notification might be one too many.
Everyone needs something. Your phone keeps buzzing. Even when you finally sit down, you can’t switch off. A little room to exhale sounds very good.
The weights room feels like a boys’ club.
You want to build muscle, but the unfamiliar equipment and bro culture leave you hovering near the treadmills. Let’s talk strength, energy, and finding your way in.
Your skin, your sleep, your strength, your desire.
Let’s understand what connects them.

Why take the class if I can shop the protocol?
You can shop an Edit without buying a class. The class gives you the fuller explanation of your changing body, starting with food, sleep, movement, and daily habits. Learn where botanicals, supplements, and functional tests may fit, with recorded lessons and a companion guide to revisit. So you understand the why behind your choices. Supplements and tests are purchased separately.
What is it actually like to take a Rhea class?
Like hanging out with your best friend who also happens to be a doctor. You’re learning, laughing, connecting the dots, and getting excited that you have options. We start with food, sleep, movement, and daily habits, then explore where herbs, supplements, and lab testing may fit. You get the whole conversation, with recorded lessons, your companion guide, and detailed product notes at the end of the class. Come back to it all at your own pace.
How long is the course?
The main recorded lessons run about 16 to 33 minutes per class, or just under five hours across all twelve. Allow extra time for the companion guides and practices. Everything is self paced, with lifetime access. Take one lesson at a time, and come back whenever you need. The Gathering is a separate 12 week live experience.
What is the complete collection?
The Complete Collection is $1,061 and includes lifetime access to all 12 teachings, their companion guides, and Whole Body Reset. Individual courses are $108 each with lifetime access; the Nutrition course also includes Whole Body Reset as a complimentary gift. The refreshed purchase experience is being prepared.
How will The Gathering work?
The Gathering is an intimate virtual experience with live weekly meetings led by Dr. Michele and Dr. Kristi. We accept up to 20 women per session. Start with a short application so we can get to know you. Session access is reserved for your group of up to 20 members during the 12 weeks. You also receive lifetime access to the Complete Collection, all 12 teachings, companion guides, and Whole Body Reset. Dates and pricing are confirmed before enrollment. Apply to The Gathering
Are supplements and labs included?
The lab shop and Fullscript dispensary are separate purchases unless a specific offer explicitly includes them. Existing member benefits remain governed by the terms of your original purchase.
Is this individual medical care?
Rhea Teachings provides education. It does not establish a doctor and patient relationship or replace individualized medical care. Personal symptoms, testing, and treatment decisions should be discussed with your own clinician.
