Organic Soup Kitchen continues its Return to Vitality educational series with a session featuring Dr. Julie Taguchi, who will lead an interactive discussion on women’s hormones and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Titled Women & Hormone Replacement — Have Questions? Need Answers?, the talk will be at 4 p.m. March 26 at the Organic Soup Kitchen Distribution Center, 126 E. Haley St., Santa Barbara.

The first 30 participants may attend in person, while additional attendees will have the option to join via Zoom.

Hormonal changes throughout life, including perimenopause and menopause, can significantly impact sleep, energy, mood, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. During the session, Dr. Taguchi will share evidence-based insights and answer questions to help women better understand hormone replacement therapy and the options available to support healthy aging.

The Return to Vitality series brings together local health professionals to explore practical, science-informed ways to support health, recovery, and resilience. Through an interactive roundtable format, participants are encouraged to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion while learning simple strategies to support long-term wellness.

Whether someone is recovering from illness, rebuilding strength, or simply seeking to better understand their health, the series offers accessible education, community connection, and tools to help individuals reconnect with vitality.
