Supporting Your Body Through Change: Nutrition & Exercise in Menopause

This workshop is designed to demystify the metabolic and physical changes that occur during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause; and to provide women with clear, evidence-based strategies to adapt. As hormonal shifts reshape body composition, energy balance, and recovery, many women find that what once “worked” no longer does. This session bridges that gap with practical guidance rooted in physiology, not trends.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how their bodies are changing and how to support strength, energy, and long-term health through targeted nutrition, exercise, and, when appropriate, medical therapies.

Topics will include:
• The metabolic and hormonal shifts of perimenopause, menopause and beyond
• Body composition changes and muscle preservation
• Exercise strategies that actually work
• Nutrition for hormonal and metabolic health
• Lifestyle modifications that matter
• Pharmacologic and hormonal therapies and when to use them
