Women’s health

About the Webinar:

Menopause is more than a clinical transition; it is a critical public health and policy opportunity to improve women’s long-term cardiometabolic health. Yet fragmented care, inconsistent risk assessment, limited awareness, and gaps in access and policy leave many women underserved during midlife. This webinar will examine menopause through clinical, population health, and policy lenses, highlighting opportunities to strengthen prevention, address health inequities, improve care pathways, and advance policies that recognize midlife as a pivotal window for reducing cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

What are the 3 key learning outcomes of your webinar?

1. Explain how menopause influences cardiovascular and metabolic risk across midlife and beyond.
2. Identify key gaps in risk recognition, prevention, care delivery, and health equity.
3. Evaluate clinical, population health, and policy strategies to strengthen prevention, improve care pathways, and advance women’s long-term cardiometabolic health.

About the Webinar:

Menopause affects every woman, yet its impact on body composition and metabolic health remains under-addressed in mainstream healthcare and fitness. With 1.2 billion women expected to be (post)menopausal by 2030, this is a major public health issue, not a niche concern.
Women are often given generic training advice that ignores the hormonal reality of (peri)menopause. They notice their body changing (more belly fat, less strength) but don’t understand why, or which type of training actually works. Coaches and healthcare providers often lack solid, practical knowledge on this too.
Attendees will leave understanding what physiologically changes during menopause, and why. They’ll get evidence-based, concrete training guidelines (strength, endurance, combined)

What are the 3 key learning outcomes of your webinar?

1. Understand how declining estrogen drives visceral fat gain, muscle loss, and worsening metabolic health (insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation) during (peri)menopause.
2. Know the distinct, complementary effects of strength vs. endurance training on body composition and metabolic markers in this population.
3. Apply evidence-based training parameters (intensity, volume, frequency) to design or recommend an effective combined training program for (peri)menopausal women.

About the Webinar:

Topic: Midlife is one of the most overlooked opportunities for women’s brain health. The menopause transition shifts sleep, stress, and vascular risk, shaping focus, mood, and resilience now and stroke and dementia risk later.
Problem: For women, this transition often coincides with peak professional demands, when poor sleep, brain fog, and chronic stress can accelerate burnout. Yet guidance treats burnout, menopause, and brain health separately, and conflicting advice fills the gap.
Purpose: This webinar brings these together through an evidence-based lifestyle medicine lens: how the pillars protect brain health and well-being, which markers to track, and how to sequence change.
Participants leave with three prioritized actions to sustain their brain health and careers.

What are the 3 key learning outcomes of your webinar?

1. Explain how the menopause transition affects brain health, from focus, mood, and sleep to long-term stroke and dementia risk, and its links to burnout.
2. Apply the lifestyle medicine pillars, with emphasis on sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition, to protect both brain health and well-being.
3. Build a sequenced plan of three prioritized actions, with measurable markers and an accurate understanding of hormone therapy’s role.

About the Webinar:

The updated USDA Dietary Guidelines hold substantial influence over national nutrition policy, clinical counseling, school meals, and public health programming. For women, whose nutritional needs shift significantly across the lifespan and are closely tied to reproductive health, bone integrity, cardiometabolic risk, and hormonal regulation, these recommendations play a central role in shaping long-term health outcomes. Despite being positioned as evidence-based, the current guidelines contain notable gaps, inconsistencies, and areas where emerging research on women’s physiology and chronic disease prevention is insufficiently reflected. The purpose of this webinar is to provide a critical evaluation of the latest USDA Dietary Guidelines and shed light on their impact on women’s health. Participants will examine where the guidelines align with current evidence and where they diverge. The session will highlight overlooked research, discuss potential consequences of existing recommendations, and offer alternative evidence-based strategies that better support women across life stages.

About this Webinar:

The answer to almost any issue is to be better skilled at creating and maintaining boundaries. The research shows that creating and maintaining healthy boundaries leads to better emotional regulation, more effective communication, feeling less anxious and depressed, more satisfying relationships, having more confidence and feeling less overwhelmed. This presentation will teach women health professionals what boundaries really are (most people have this wrong) and how to apply them to be more calm and energized in both your personal and professional life.

About this Webinar:

There is a need for health providers to be ‘trauma-literate’. Patients who present with stress- and trauma-related health patterns, especially those linked to conflict, displacement, and gender-based violence require a more thoughtful approach. This includes helping women health providers recognise triggers within themselves, especially if they too have a history of trauma.

Attendees will learn:

• What is Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care
• How Trauma is linked to Women’s Health
• How to Provide Trauma-Informed Care for Women in a Lifestyle Medicine Consultation

Webinar Purpose:

Maternal cardiovascular health strongly predicts both adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term cardiovascular risk. Sleep health is recognized as one of the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 and is a major, underused lever to protect pregnancy. Yet during pregnancy, sleep quality declines across gestation and can remain disrupted postpartum due to physiological and social changes. On top of this baseline disruption, upper airway obstruction and pregnancy-onset sleep-disordered breathing often present not as “classic” obstructive sleep apnea, but as a spectrum. Common snoring may still fragment sleep and amplify sympathetic activation, fatigue, and cardiometabolic strain. Current models emphasize lifestyle changes that can be difficult to implement during pregnancy. This webinar reframes sleep as a modifiable clinical target. 

What Attendees Will Learn:

• Why recognize the spectrum of airway-related sleep disruption in pregnancy,
• How to identify those at highest risk,
• Why consider practical, non-invasive management strategies to improve maternal sleep
