Dietitians play a crucial role in supporting women through the menopause transition. This webinar will provide a deeper understanding of the hormonal shifts that occur during this stage of life, the physiological changes that impact metabolism, body composition, bone and cardiovascular health, and the common symptoms that many people experience.
Special attention will be paid to patterns of eating that support midlife and overall health, the role of protein in maintaining muscle and health, and other key nutrients including fiber, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids.
This webinar is split into 3 portions:
1: Understanding the hormone changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause.
2: Symptoms and physiological changes of midlife, including impact on cardiovascular health.
3: Nutrition priorities for women in perimenopause and menopause.
