But despite the fact that all women experience menopause...
And that 75% of health and fitness clients are women...
Menopausal women are mostly ignored by the health and fitness industry.
You and I both know - that's not right.
Women deserve better.
That's why GGS pulled together 14 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create our Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification.
After enrolling, you'll learn how to help yourself and other women struggling with issues like:
Unexplained weight gain
Insomnia & poor sleep
Fatigue & low energy
Gas, heartburn, or bloating
Stiff, achy, or painful joints
Unpredictable mood swings—or anxiety or depression
Brain fog
Hot flushes and night sweats
Higher blood pressure
Higher blood sugar levels
Higher cholesterol
And so much more (all within your scope of practice!)
In an industry where research-backed, menopause-specific health and fitness information is hard to come by...
...YOU can be a beacon of hope.
You can help women over 40 navigate difficult challenges throughout menopause and empower them to thrive.

"...and I am now excited to bring menopause awareness to others.
I really enjoyed studying this certification!"
"My goal was to become stronger myself and to help other women become strong and stay strong.
It is a fantastic course and I highly recommend you enroll."

Molly Galbraith,
"When I first started in the fitness industry 19 years ago...
There was very little menopause-specific coaching and training education available.
What was available was outdated, not evidence-based, or minimized the challenges that many women face throughout menopause.
Considering all women go through menopause — that’s not OK.
Women deserve better.
So GGS pulled together 14 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create this industry-changing Certification.
After enrolling, you'll learn exactly how to help women over 40 feel strong, confident, and empowered throughout menopause and beyond.

Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD
“As a developer of this Certification, I’m excited to be part of helping health and fitness professionals bring women’s coaching into the 21st century —
With this truly timely, progressive, and empowering approach.
The majority of people who hire a coach, trainer, or nutrition professional are women.
Yet to date, few coaching organizations have truly met women’s diverse needs — until now.”

Dr. Helen Kollias, PhD
“We created this Certification to help any professional — of any discipline — who works with women.
You're going to walk away with knowledge and skills that change lives.
But this is more than just learning — you're going to practice applying it all.
Get ready to start making a meaningful impact on the women you work with immediately."

Dr. Jessica Shepherd, OB-GYN
“This Certification has set a new standard.
Not only for our industry — but for the millions of menopausal women who will now have access to the care and support they deserve.
There’s no resource like it anywhere.
I encourage anyone who works with women over 40 to tap into the genius inside — and start changing the lives of your clients today.”

Our grads have used this Certification to get their first clients, grow their existing practices, launch online courses, create new services, and build coaching businesses focused on helping women thrive through menopause and beyond.
There are three main things that set our GGS Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification apart from every other Certification:
1. It's comprehensive. This is the only Certification that covers menopause-specific coaching, psychology, nutrition, exercise, anatomy & physiology, and programming all in one place — across every stage of the menopause transition.
2. It's interdisciplinary. The curriculum was developed by 14 trailblazing women’s health experts from 12 fields of study — including PhDs, physiotherapists, a board-certified OB-GYN, a Registered Dietitian, a licensed psychologist, and strength & conditioning coaches from the U.S., Canada, and Australia. And every chapter was written, reviewed, and edited by up to 5–7 of those experts.
3. It's evidence-based. With over 1,000 references in the 500-page textbook alone, the curriculum integrates the best available research with 400+ years of combined clinical and practical experience from our expert team.
No other Certification on the planet brings all three of these together — for menopausal women, at this level.
There are no prerequisites required other than a desire to help women over 40 thrive. This Certification is designed for professionals at every level — whether you're just getting started or you've been coaching women for years.
If you're new to the field, you'll get the comprehensive foundation you need to start with confidence.
If you're experienced, you'll deepen your knowledge, fill in the gaps, and walk away with tools and frameworks you can use with clients immediately.
Absolutely — and our most experienced students are often the ones most surprised by how much they gain.
Here's something most coaches don't realize: if you work with women, there's a good chance that over 50% of your clients are already in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause — whether you know it or not. And yet most coaching certifications dedicate little more than a paragraph to the topic.
This Certification dives deeper into menopause-specific physiology, psychology, and behavior change than any other program in the industry — covering topics like hormonal changes, bone & muscle loss, brain fog, pelvic health, sleep disruption, and menopausal hormone therapy in ways that most coaches have never been taught.
Many of our grads with years of experience tell us this Certification completely changed how they coach women over 40 — and how confident they feel doing it.

This Certification is entirely self-paced — so there's no deadline to start or finish.
Most students aim to complete 1–2 chapters per week, which works out to about 3–5 hours per week. At that pace, you'll be a GGS Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist in roughly 2–4 months.
And here's the best part: every chapter gives you tools you can start using with clients right away. So even before you graduate, your investment is already paying off.

Each of the 18 chapters ends with a 15-question exam consisting of multiple-choice and true/false questions. Exams are open-book, untimed, and available in your online learning platform whenever you're ready. Most students complete them in 15–20 minutes. There is no final exam.
You need a 73% or higher to pass — and our students average 90%.
You have three attempts for each exam. If you don't pass within three tries, a small fee unlocks additional attempts. You won't be left stuck — the GGS team is here to support you every step of the way.
