Too Much, Too Little: Menopause, exercise, disordered eating and weight control

Peri to post-menopause weight loss, weight gain, disordered eating and exercise habits

Hormonal changes during menopause are the nemesis for many women's fight for weight control, we talk to a Menopause Movement trained health coach who's specialism is supporting women to achieve a better sense of wellbeing, healthy ageing, and self-care.

This webinar will be raising awareness and starting a discussion around disordered eating recovery, exercise, self-care and menopause. There is no consensus and very little evidence or understanding about how this may impact women into the menopause and we hope this webinar will encourage health and fitness professionals to join the conversation in the Q&A.

Who's in the hot seat?

Cathy Houghton, a health and movement coach from Blossom Health Coaching, who’s niche area is disordered eating, from peri to post-menopause. And as a Menopause Movement graduate, she is now expanding that to include exercise and movement.

During this webinar we take a deeper dive into Cathy’s experience of coaching women with disordered eating and exercise habits and her take on weight control.

We will discuss what exactly does disordered eating mean? Raising awareness of the spectrum of healthy and less health eating and exercise habits.

We will talk about the relationships between disordered eating and exercise, recovery and self-care into the menopause. And look at distressed exercise, to consider at what point does it tip over from being a healthy habit, to taking it too far.

What will you take away from this webinar?

How to change women's mindset for disordered eating and exercise:

• Exercise for some is used only for a ‘diet’ – and is then abandoned when women come off their diet. Their movement is not for health reasons, for them it's all or nothing.
• Exercise can be addictive, over done, and compulsive. Whether for weight management, for stress release, or anxiety. Either way it can cause adverse problems on the body, especially during peri/menopause when it is already under stress due to hormonal shifts.
• For those women who don’t move at all. Usually wanting to lose weight, but they put all the emphasis on food, and ignore the importance of movement.
