Supporting menopause through nutrition

£65.00

Menopause is such a huge topic and something that can really impact on our well-being. Research is now showing that the age of perimenopause is much earlier than we realise and that the number of symptoms associated with all stages of menopause is extensive. How the menopause impacts us, and the length of time it does is completely individual to each person. When wanting to understand more about the hormone changes that occur and what we can do to help support ourselves, it can feel very overwhelming as there is so much conflicting information available.

Course description

We have designed this 6-week course to discuss the role of nutrition and lifestyle to support all stages of the menopause. All information shared in this course is based on scientific research and fact. This course is not about going on a diet, instead it is about helping to educate you in the topic of menopause and suggest simple changes you can make which can improve any physical or emotional changes experienced during the menopause. The course will be delivered through weekly 1 hour live online sessions, with an option to join an ongoing WhatsApp group which will run alongside the course. This course is designed to help you feel informed, positive and empowered in how to look after yourself whilst going through the menopause.
