Start Date: 16 November 2022 4:00 pm

End Date: 16 November 2022 5:17 pm

Location: Online

Tanja Harrison RNutr is a registered nutrionist and lecturer in public health nutrition at the University of Chester. One of her main interests is nutrition and menopause. The menopausal transition is a time of often unexpected changes for many women. In addition to not knowing how diet and nutrition can support with trying to navigate those changes, there is also a lack of awareness of potential additional health risks that women present with from this period in their lives.

However, there are a number of foods, nutrients and dietary strategies that can be used to mitigate both symptoms and risk factors and Tanja will use the talk to give attendees a good understanding of these. Click https://bit.ly/wbsession to access the link to join the session
