From the onset of menses to menopause, the nutrient needs of women are guided by a physiologic demand that is unique to us. Unlike our male counterparts, female hormones change and fluctuate through menstrual cycle phases to drive fertility. Hormone levels affect our nutritional needs, as do specific pathologies that are unique to women, such as cancer of the reproductive organs and breasts, and osteoporosis.
In this engaging and informative webinar, Dr. Cheryl Burdette examines key pillars of nutritional support for improving outcomes in women’s health, focusing on fish oils, vitamin D, and magnesium. Controversies surrounding calcium and what women should do to protect themselves from osteoporosis while not increasing the risk of heart disease will be discussed, in addition to aspects of cognitive decline and cardiovascular disease that are unique to women and may impact their nutritional needs.
