FREE LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT – WEDS, JULY 23 | 1 PM ET
During the transition to menopause, women tend to lose muscle and gain fat despite eating and exercising the same as always. This webinar will identify the reasons for a changing body composition in midlife and offer strategies to support women as they find a new metabolic balance that works for them, which may include weight loss medication. Learn what nutrients play a role in weight control as well as how hormones, timing of meals, muscle mass, and more affect a woman’s weight in midlife and beyond.
During this training you will:
- Learn about the connection between certain hormones and body weight in midlife women.
- Discover the effects of the shift in body composition during perimenopause, including increased belly fat, and how to help offset it with diet and exercise.
- Apply personalized strategies to a woman’s diet and exercise routine to support weight control and overall health.
- Explore the increased use of weight loss medications in midlife weight control and learn how to tailor an eating program for their use.
- Leverage the power of food to help women better control their weight and support overall wellness.
