Optimising Nutrition to Support Menopausal Health and Wellbeing
Menopause is a natural transition that affects every woman differently, yet its far-reaching impact on health and wellbeing often presents unique challenges for patients and the professionals supporting them. Nutrition plays a key role in managing menopause symptoms and improving quality of life. Additionally, dietary strategies can be instrumental in reducing stress, a key factor that can exacerbate symptoms and impact overall health during menopause.
This session offers practical, evidence-based insights into how nutrition can support stress management and symptom relief. Join me to explore the connections between nutrition, stress, and menopausal health, including the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and discover simple, actionable tools to enhance holistic care for your patients.
