This course focuses on providing a comprehensive understanding of menopause, including its definitions, symptoms, and risk factors. It covers various testing and analysis methods, dietary and lifestyle strategies, and complementary approaches. The aim is to equip practitioners with the knowledge and tools to effectively support women in menopause.
