Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, and its effects vary for each person. While it typically happens between ages 45 and 55, it can occur earlier. Current estimates indicate that about 13 million women in the UK are peri- or menopausal, making up roughly one-third of the female population1. The Faculty of Occupational Medicine reports that almost eight out of 10 menopausal women are in the workforce2.

Key areas of focus include understanding the distinct nutritional needs during menopause, gaining valuable insights into heart health, bone health, and effective weight management. Additionally, participants will explore the nuanced aspects of traditional versus medical approaches to hormonal therapy and receive practical lifestyle insights for overall well-being.
