The Menopause Nutrition & Lifestyle Program at Mather Hospital utilizes simple, sound principles to help women achieve optimal health during their menopausal transition and beyond. Emphasis is placed on the nutritional quality of food, symptom management, and reducing chronic inflammation, with personalized support from an experienced medical team.
How does the Menopause Nutrition & Lifestyle Program work?
Our 12-week program is designed to support women navigating menopause by addressing both hormonal changes and chronic inflammation through diet and lifestyle. Each participant receives a comprehensive nutrition evaluation, weekly nutrition classes with ongoing support, follow-up sessions with our clinical team, and metabolic testing. A customized meal plan is developed to meet each participant’s unique health goals and lifestyle needs. All classes are conducted by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) with advanced degrees in nutrition, certified in health coaching and behavior change. Participants are guided to make sustainable changes that not only ease the transition through menopause but also promote long-term vitality and reduce the risk of chronic disease. FDA approved prescription weight loss medications may be used under medical supervision to help boost metabolism and assist in promoting weight loss, decrease hunger sensations, and increase satiety. Most weight loss medications are covered by commercial insurance plans.
How often do the classes meet?

What other aspects of a healthy lifestyle does the program teach?
