Description

The current demographic shift in Canada’s workforce reveals a noteworthy trend: the most rapidly expanding segment among employed women falls within the age range of 45 to 55. Coincidentally, this period marks the onset of the menopausal journey for many women1.

According to a recent study conducted by the Menopause Foundation of Canada (MFC), the unaddressed symptoms of menopause in working women contribute to a staggering $237 million loss in productivity for Canadian employers2.

In this session, participants will feel supported and prepared as they navigate the intricacies of the menopausal journey. Key areas of focus include understanding the distinct nutritional needs during menopause, gaining valuable insights into heart health, bone health, and effective weight management. Additionally, participants will explore the nuanced aspects of traditional versus medical approaches to hormonal therapy and receive practical lifestyle insights for overall well-being.
