Who is this event for?

This Summit is designed for dietitians, healthcare professionals, and allied health practitioners who want to confidently support women through perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve ever felt unprepared to answer questions about nutrition, symptoms, or evidence-based strategies—or if you’re tired of sorting through conflicting information—this one-day, expert-led event will give you clear, practical guidance you can use immediately in your practice.

Understand how menopause affects metabolism, body composition, heart and bone health, and daily life — plus a practical look at hormone therapy.
Get the facts on which menopause supplements work, which don’t, and how to confidently guide your clients.
Learn strategies to manage weight, fat gain, and lean mass loss — including how diet and GLP-1 meds fit in.
Discover how nutrition and resistance training help women maintain strength, mobility, and confidence through midlife.
Explore evidence-based nutrition strategies to reduce risks for heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, sarcopenia, and nutrient gaps.
Translate menopause nutrition evidence into practical, real-life strategies your clients can use every day.

Good to know! Every session includes Q&A, and we’ll collect your questions in advance to ensure the content reflects your interests.
