Menopause, Weight and the ADHD Brain: Working With Your Changing Body

Join us for an After Dinner Chat designed to learn about lifestyle interventions for menopausal weight gain, which affects 60-70% of women.
About this Event

We're following up our September's Dinner and A Chat on with a series of After Dinner Chats, which are curated community chats designed to bring like-minded, curious learners together.

Join for an engaging community chat on Menopause, Weight and the ADHD Brain: Working With Your Changing Body , Evidence-Based Nutrition for Metabolism, Muscle, and Well-Being. Diana will teach us to:

• Recognize the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that commonly occur during perimenopause and menopause, including the impact of hormonal changes on brain health, executive functioning, and ADHD symptoms
• Differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and apply mindful, intuitive eating strategies that support energy, mood, and overall well-being throughout the menopausal transition
• Explain the essential roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, key micronutrients, and evidence-based supplements in supporting hormonal health, muscle preservation, cognitive function, bone health, and metabolic well-being during perimenopause and menopause
• Apply practical, evidence-based lifestyle strategies: including movement, strength training, nutrition, and critical evaluation of diet culture—to build sustainable habits, improve long-term health, and confidently navigate misleading health and weight-loss claims.
