Nutritional Considerations for the Menopause Transition

Menopause presents complex challenges that affect daily activity performance, including fluctuations in energy, sleep disruption, reduced bone density, and changes in mood and body composition. Healthcare practitioners often encounter clients navigating these transitions, yet may feel underprepared to address the nutritional aspects that influence health management and participation in daily life. This webinar addresses this gap by equipping practitioners with evidence-informed strategies to support women’s health through the menopause transition. Participants will explore the role of macro- and micronutrients in managing symptoms, preventing chronic conditions, and optimizing physiological function. The session also addresses the clinical reasoning behind supplementation and its integration into holistic wellness routines. Emphasis will be placed on how nutrition supports engagement in areas such as ADLs, IADLs, rest and sleep, and social participation. Applicable to occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, athletic trainers, and allied health professionals, this webinar is relevant across outpatient, inpatient, and private practice settings. Practitioners will leave with practical tools to enhance their client-driven care for individuals experiencing menopause.
