The Focus Reset

Sleep, brain fog and cognitive change at midlife. For the people living it — everyone leaves with a written eight-week plan.

Evgenia Zassepskai PharmD · Univ. of Toronto

About the Educator

A pharmacist who's spent ten years answering the questions women weren't asking out loud.

"My patients kept telling me their doctors didn't have time. So I made it my job to have the time."

I'm Evgenia — a community pharmacist and University of Toronto clinical instructor focused on menopause, hormone therapy, women's health, and healthy aging. After more than a decade behind the community pharmacy counter, I've watched too many capable, accomplished women blindsided by perimenopause symptoms nobody warned them about.

This is the conversation I wish every woman could have before the brain fog, the 3 AM wake-ups, and the doctor's appointments that go nowhere — and the conversation every manager should have before an experienced employee quietly starts thinking about leaving.

What The Focus Reset Covers

Ninety minutes of evidence. An eight-week plan to take home.

— 01

Cognitive Change, Explained

What actually changes cognitively at midlife, the clear distinction from dementia, and why the research shows the dip is temporary.

— 02

Sleep in Perimenopause

Why sleep breaks down in perimenopause, and the intervention with the strongest evidence behind it.

— 03

The Sleep Disorder Missed in Women

The sleep disorder routinely missed in women, because it does not present the way the textbook says.

— 04

Practical Nutrition

Protein targets, a straight answer on creatine, and where caffeine and alcohol really sit.

— 05

The Medication Review

The medication review most people have never been offered — the quiet contributors to fatigue, sleep and cognitive fog.

— 06

The Eight-Week Plan

Every attendee leaves with a written eight-week plan that turns the evidence into action across sleep, nutrition and movement.

Companion Session · 30 min

The Manager Briefing.

For people managers, HR and leadership. Delivered on its own, or alongside The Focus Reset. Rarely offered elsewhere — and consistently the piece HR values most.

— 01

Recognizing the Signs

What to notice, what to say, and the four conclusions to avoid.

— 02

Handling a Request

How to handle a request when one lands — including why asking for medical evidence backfires.

— 03

Practical Adjustments

The adjustments that cost nothing, and four things to check with your benefits plan.

— 04

Where the Line Is

Where a manager's role stops — and how to hold the same standard while changing the conditions.

Also Available

Two further sessions.

— Workshop

The Midlife Reset

Hormones, HRT & healthy aging

What perimenopause and menopause do to hormones, sleep, weight and energy. Hormone therapy: what the evidence supports, and its limits. Practical strategies for energy, metabolism and long-term health.

FOR: all-staff sessions, women's ERGs, leadership teams

— Companion Workshop

Intimacy Reset

Sex, hormones & midlife

How hormonal shifts affect intimacy, desire and connection at midlife. Evidence-based options, medical and lifestyle, presented without stigma. Practical communication tools for partners and relationships.

FOR: wellness programs, women's networks, smaller-group settings

Don't see the right fit? Every session can be tailored to your organization: bone and brain health, weight and metabolism, manager training on supporting employees through menopause, or a topic specific to your team.

"Same evidence base. Different lens. Whatever your team actually needs to hear."

Who It's For

Designed for the women your organization can't afford to lose.

The conversation you've been waiting for

Direct, science-based answers from a clinician — no fearmongering, no wellness woo. Just what's happening, what works, and what to do next.

Build a culture that retains

Open to all genders. Understanding what midlife women are navigating helps managers lead better, communicate with more nuance, and keep their best people.
