Thriving Through Change: Understanding Women’s Health and Hormones

Part of the Nourish Your Body Series

Hormones influence almost every aspect of a woman’s health — energy, mood, weight, sleep, skin, and long-term disease risk.

This workshop explores how nutrition directly supports hormonal balance across all life stages, from perimenopause and menopause through to post-menopause. We cover phytoestrogens and their role in managing symptoms, the importance of protein for muscle preservation, key nutrients for bone health, and the impact of blood sugar swings on hormonal symptoms.

Hands-On activity: Hormone Support Bliss Balls

Participants mix and roll their own hormone-supportive bliss balls — rolled oats, peanut butter, ground flaxseed (a natural phytoestrogen), honey, and cacao powder.
