That's exactly why Foundations First was built the way it was. Most online programs are a library — a collection of videos you can watch in any order, whenever you feel like it. Which means most people never finish them. That's not a willpower problem. It's a structure problem. Foundations First is 21 days of daily lessons that build on each other in a specific sequence. Every day you get a lesson guide with clear action steps — you always know exactly what to do, not just what to think about. And in the live cohort, you're moving through it alongside other women, with Stacey available on weekly calls. The structure and the community are designed to carry you through.

No. Foundations First is supplement-free by design. This isn't because supplements are bad — Stacey uses targeted supplementation regularly in her practice. But supplements are not where healing starts. They work best when the foundational systems underneath them are already supported. This course focuses entirely on those foundations — light, nutrition, hydration, cell membranes, gut health, and stress and sleep — without requiring you to purchase anything beyond what's already in your daily life.

All four weekly Q&A calls and the orientation call are recorded. Recordings are kept and accessible for the full duration of the course, so you can watch at your own pace if you miss a live session. That said, there's something about showing up live — submitting your questions in advance, hearing other women ask things you didn't even know you had — that makes a real difference. We encourage attendance when possible, but life happens and you'll never miss out permanently.

The course content — all 21 daily video lessons, lesson guides, action steps, and reference materials — is identical. What's different in the live cohort is everything around it: a live orientation call before Day 1, four weekly Zoom Q&A sessions with Stacey where you can ask your real questions and hear from other women, and a private community channel for real-time support and celebrations the entire way through. And for this cohort, you're getting all of that for the same price as the self-paced version — $200 less than the live cohort normally costs.

Yes. Foundations First works alongside whatever you're already doing — hormone therapy, other protocols, any existing care. In fact, one of the core ideas behind this course is that foundational support makes everything else work better. If you're on HRT and not seeing the results you hoped for, chances are your body's foundations need attention first. This course helps build the environment that allows your body to actually respond to what you're giving it.

Absolutely. The six foundations covered in this course are relevant at every stage — perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Stacey herself is postmenopausal, and this is the work that has made the most meaningful difference in her own health and the health of the women she works with across all stages of the transition.

You keep everything — lifetime access to all 21 lessons, all guides, and all call recordings. The foundations you build over 21 days are ones you layer into your life permanently, not a protocol you do and stop. Many women find that going back to specific lessons as their understanding deepens is part of what makes this work stick long-term. If you want continued support beyond the course, Stacey also offers ongoing membership and one-on-one coaching options at staceybeanwellness.com.
