Presence, focus and steady energy across back-to-back sessions are the basic tools of a therapist's trade, and perimenopause and menopause can quietly undermine all three. Sonya Devi explains what's happening in your body, and how to manage it nutritionally.
This masterclass is for fellow therapists who want to understand what's happening in their bodies during these hormonal transitions, and how to manage it nutritionally so it doesn't compromise how they show up for clients day to day.
Sonya starts with the physiology: what happens to hormone levels during perimenopause, and how this shifts again at menopause. From there she looks at why this matters clinically, including the effect on cardiovascular health and the rise in inflammation that can aggravate or trigger autoimmune conditions.
She then works through the symptoms most likely to affect your practice directly:
hot flushes
weight changes
brain fog
lethargy
low iron
joint pain
bone density loss
low libido
low mood
Each one is translated into practical, natural (non-HRT) dietary and lifestyle strategies, including a sample day and the role of meal timing and cortisol. Sonya also covers why this transition looks so different from one person to the next.
You leave with a clear understanding of your own hormonal changes and a toolkit you can put to use straight away.
Afterwards there's time for questions, over mocktails and snacks.
