Sunday, November 9

"Menopause: We ALL Go Through It" Panel Discussion

Time: 11:15 am – 1:30 pm

Everything you've always wanted to know about menopause but were afraid to ask! Join three experts, Dr. Stephanie Meade, Dr. Melanie MacLaren, and Dr. Deb Ronco, as we unpack this underdiscussed, misunderstood, and very real stage of life from the perspective of traditional, naturopathic, and complementary medicine. Spiritual Growth and Spiritual Wholeness and Wellness sponsor this event.

It is important for people of ALL sexes, gender identities, and ages to have information about this topic, not just "women of a certain age." Everyone is encouraged to attend, even men and children! This frank conversation will cover many areas of women's health, including sexual health.  Please use your discretion when bringing children into the discussion. Free childcare is available.

Lunch will be provided by Cater Me Cafe, a local, woman-owned business in Nora. Reservations for lunch are required via the link below. Lunch is $15 for adults, $5 for kids, and gluten-free options are available. Childcare is provided. Please contact Krista Wright with questions.

The deadline to register for lunch has passed, but you may still register for the panel discussion!

Meet the Speakers

Dr. Stephanie Meade

After growing up in Louisville, KY, Dr. Meade moved to NYC, where she lived and worked as a professional dancer for over 15 years. A career-threatening foot injury led her to an osteopathic physician whose treatments not only healed her but also prevented invasive surgery, allowing her to resume dancing. Inspired by the care and compassion she received, Dr. Meade felt a profound calling to pursue a career in medicine. After completing her undergraduate studies in NYC, she moved to Indianapolis to attend Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

During her family medicine residency, Dr. Meade experienced firsthand the challenging symptoms of the menopause transition. Although surrounded by physicians from various specialties, she was unable to find anyone with the expertise to provide effective guidance. This experience led her to uncover a significant gap in menopause care—one that leaves many women struggling with symptoms that diminish their quality of life, hinder daily functioning, and contribute to long-term health concerns.

Determined to address this gap, she embarked on a journey of self-directed training and education in midlife women’s health by attending conferences, CME webinars, and extensively reviewing the literature. Now a certified specialist in menopause medicine, she is dedicated to providing this much-needed care.

She is an active member of the Menopause Society and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Meade is also an Assistant Professor at Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she helps train the physicians of tomorrow.

Dr. Meade enjoys dancing, singing, live theatre, history, anthropology, and taking her long-haired cat for walks.


Dr. Melanie MacLaren

Dr. Melanie MacLaren is a naturopathic doctor who is passionate about natural health and the individualized needs of each of her clients. She founded Dragonfly 360 Wellness to help educate others on the benefits of holistic, naturopathic practices. Her practice includes her supervising physician and an esthetician/massage therapist.

Dr. Melanie works with individuals on various chronic health issues such as anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, allergies & food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, weight gain and digestive issues. She utilizes nutrition, supplements, homeopathic remedies in her practice as well as bio-identical hormone replacement, thyroid glandulars, and peptides.

After experiencing her own healing crisis in 2005, Dr. Melanie knew she needed more than what mainstream medical treatment provided. Dr. Melanie worked with a naturopathic doctor to help her find balance with chronic stress, digestive issues, fatigue, allergies, asthma, and adrenal issues — using nutrition and natural remedies. This sparked her passion in the field and she wanted to educate others on natural health. With a previous degree from Purdue University in Civil Engineering, she went on to become a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor with the ANMCB and a Certified NAET Practitioner.


Dr. Deb Ronco

Dr. Deb Ronco is an Ob/Gyn in Indianapolis with Axia Women’s Health. Her education began with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Dartmouth College in 1997. Dr. Ronco then graduated with a medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine in 2002. She completed her residency at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis and became a Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist in 2008.

She has been in private practice for nearly 20 years. During this time, her greatest joy has been in caring for her wonderful patients and teaching through the residency program at St. Vincent.  Various leadership positions have included serving on the Board of Directors for OB/GYN of Indiana, heading the Women’s Service Line at St. Vincent Hospital, and being a Lead Physician within Axia Women’s Health.  She is a Fellow with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Dr. Ronco is active in her church, loves to garden, hike, and spend time with her husband Pete, a pediatrician, and her three children.

    Join the Dishwashing Crew!

    One of the best ways we can help our church lower its carbon footprint is to cut back on (or completely eliminate) single-use items like plastic water bottles, disposable dishes, and utensils. The good news is our church has a nice collection of ceramic dishes and reusable utensils we can use for events, including our Wednesday night dinners and Italian night.

    And here’s more good news - someone gets to wash those dirty dishes! If you’d like to be a member of the elite inaugural “Dishwashers For The Lord” crew, you can email or call Monica Brase by email or phone. Benefits of joining the crew include getting to eat the delicious Wednesday night meal (you can eat with the group or after everyone has left), wearing a cool apron and dishwashing gloves, and learning to operate the industrial dishwasher (a skill that looks great on a resume!). And, of course, you’ll be doing something great for our planet.

            Volunteer Greeters Needed!

            Greeters needed! Are you looking to have a hot meal and to greet and talk to Wednesday night members and friends? Well, this is the perfect volunteer opportunity for you. Please consider being a greeter on Wednesday. Please sign up using the link below or contact Melissa Hopkins or Liz Higgins!

            Sign Up to Be a Greeter


            Join the Dishwashing Crew!

            One of the best ways we can help our church lower its carbon footprint is to cut back on (or completely eliminate) single-use items like plastic water bottles, disposable dishes, and utensils. The good news is our church has a nice collection of ceramic dishes and reusable utensils we can use for events, including our Wednesday night dinners and Italian night.

            And here’s more good news - someone gets to wash those dirty dishes! If you’d like to be a member of the elite inaugural “Dishwashers For The Lord” crew, you can email or call Monica Brase by email or phone. Benefits of joining the crew include getting to eat the delicious Wednesday night meal (you can eat with the group or after everyone has left), wearing a cool apron and dishwashing gloves, and learning to operate the industrial dishwasher (a skill that looks great on a resume!). And, of course, you’ll be doing something great for our planet.
