Course overview

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine into Menopause Care is an engaging and comprehensive course designed for medical and allied health professionals, as well as undergraduate students seeking an evidence-based approach to menopause management. The course aims to equip participants with practical, clinically relevant lifestyle strategies to support women through the menopausal transition, manage symptoms, and optimise long-term health outcomes. Drawing on current evidence, the course explores the common symptom presentations of menopause and the evolving understanding of chronic disease risks associated with the menopause transition.

Participants will examine the practical application of three core Lifestyle Medicine pillars - nutrition, physical activity and sleep- and their role as foundational interventions in menopause care. Emphasis is placed on translating evidence into practice and building confidence in applying these strategies in clinical settings. The course is delivered over three 20-minute lectures (1 hour total). Assessment consists of 15 multiple-choice questions completed at the end of the course to consolidate learning and support CPD requirements.
