The evening

Straight answers, finally

Most women get about seven minutes to ask about a decade of change. This is the opposite of that — a full evening, in plain language, with time for the questions you'd normally leave unasked.

Doors openLight bites and refreshments, a look around the practice, and time to settle in.

6:15 pm
Unfiltered Q&AOpen questions from the room. General education, no scripts, no dodging the awkward ones.

Wrap & mingleStay as long as you like. Our team will be around if you want to talk about next steps.

What perimenopause really is, and why it can start years before your periods change
Hormone therapy in 2026 — what the research supports now, where major guidelines still disagree, and who it isn't right for
Fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog, low libido — which are hormonal and which are something else
Labs: what's worth testing, what isn't, and why "your labs are normal" isn't the end of the conversation
Pellets, patches, pills, creams — how the delivery methods actually differ
Bone, heart and brain health — the part of the conversation that usually gets skipped
How to advocate for yourself when you've been told it's just stress

Your host

Dr. Christina Gomez, D.O.

Founder & Gynecologist, Altavida Gynecology

Dr. Gomez founded Altavida to practice medicine the way she always believed it should be — with time, attention, and a real relationship between a woman and her provider. Hormone health is where she sees that shortfall most often: women who were told their symptoms were normal, or stress, or just age.

Before you come

Questions, answered

Do I have to be an Altavida patient to attend?

No. The evening is open to anyone in the Tampa Bay area who wants a straight conversation about hormones. You don't need to be an Altavida patient, and you don't need a membership.

Is there a cost to attend?

No — admission is complimentary. Seating is limited, so an RSVP is required. Please reserve a seat for each person you're bringing so we can plan the room.

Can I bring a friend, my sister, or my partner?

Yes, and we hope you do. Just include them in your seat count when you RSVP so we plan the seating and the refreshments correctly.

Can I ask a question about my own symptoms?

The Q&A is general education, not individual medical advice — so please keep questions general rather than sharing personal medical details in a room full of people. If you'd like your own situation reviewed properly, book a visit. No membership is required for your first visit.

Is this a sales presentation?

No. The talk is education first — what hormone therapy can and can't do, where the major guidelines still disagree, and how to tell whether a symptom is hormonal. Our team will be around afterward if you want to talk about hormone therapy or membership, but nobody has to.

Where do I park?

Free surface parking is available directly outside the office at 25179 Sawyer Francis Lane, Lutz, FL 33559. Doors open at 5:00 pm — arriving a few minutes early gives you time to get settled before the talk starts at 5:30.

What if I RSVP and then can't make it?

Call or text 813-733-7300 and let us know. Seating is limited, so releasing your seat lets us offer it to someone else who wanted to come.
