Earn 24.5 CPEs while learning about challenges women face related to perimenopause and strategies that can help support symptom management with this case based self-study course!
The required reading for this course reviews the many challenges women encounter when seeking medical guidance for perimenopause, noting that perimenopause symptoms are frequently dismissed by doctors, leading to delayed recognition and treatment, which can impact nutrition and overall health. The course explains how clinicians assess perimenopausal symptoms and reviews the wide range of physical and metabolic changes that occur during this transition. It focuses on treatment strategies, including key nutrients and evidence-based recommendations that support symptom management while promoting long-term health. The text highlights laboratory and screening tests, as well as clinical markers that assist in evaluating metabolic health and risk, with the overall goal of providing individualized interventions for women in perimenopause.
While the majority of the book’s content aligns with current nutrition science, please note that some controversial topics are presented. In addition, certain recommendations reflect the author’s clinical experience, professional expertise, and personal practice rather than established scientific evidence and may not be supported by current research.
Who should take this course? Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered (NDTRs) interested in counseling or coaching women going through perimenopause.
A case-study-based CPE exam helps the reader apply the information to their specific work setting.
