Menopause is a condition usually defined by its acute symptoms—hot flushes, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, loss of libido to name just a few. While of course these symptoms are important what they really do is signify a major health transition for women.

Menopause is the permanent loss of ovarian oestrogen and progesterone. Menopause is not about hot flushes. In women oestrogen has a profound effect on every organ in our body. It influences our metabolism, immune function, digestion, cardiovascular performance, mood, and brain health. So as levels plummet around menopause there are profound effects on women’s health.

This course will take a more detailed look at the impact declining hormone levels have on all body systems including mitochondria, bone, brain, heart and metabolism and discuss nutritional intervention to support your clients.
