Keynote series | Spotlight on menopause
Videos launching: Thursday 12th December 2024
Menopause is a natural part of aging, affecting half of the population. The hormonal changes associated with menopause can have a significant impact on the body, with wide-ranging effects extending beyond the endocrine and reproductive systems.
What are the neurological changes that come with the menopause and can they perhaps be mitigated? What about the effects on cardiovascular health and risk? Could the years leading up to the menopause serve as a window of opportunity for preventive efforts?
Learn about these and more in our expert-led video series. Sign up now to be notified when the collection goes live.
