Description

Kate Cook brings her considerable nutrition expertise, inspiration and practical know-how to the thorny topic, that dare not speak it’s name.

For many of us, who have been through this rite of passage and are on the other side, the menopause was a word that we were ashamed to speak of; thank goodness, in recent years, as the baby-boomers reach this milestone, the challenges of what used to be called “The Change” has been openly discussed, debated and brought to the fore.

However, there is still no handbook of how we can best navigate the choppy waters of fluctuating hormones, with all the distress that this can trigger. What if there was a better way?

In truth, the menopause is not something to dread, dismiss, ignore but something to celebrate as women, we pass into our wisdom and ultimately our power – but we need to feel in control, grounded and healthful to grab these golden promises of something better on the other side.

In this session, Kate looks at what exactly is happening when the hormones head South, and how, with some careful nutritional strategies, the uncomfortable fluctuations can be minimised and for the shortest amount of time.

What did our ancestors make of the M word?

Why do we “medicalise” the M word by calling it a menopause, like a diagnosis?

What happens in the M word?

Where do our hormones go?

What can we do about it?

What can we learn, take away, and celebrate in this period of life

What purpose are we willing to create, to look forward to decades of productive contribution, rather than looking at menopause as loss?
