Many of our health indicators are influenced by genetics but most of them aren’t! Genetic factors account for between 5% and 10% of our health outcomes. This means that we have some control over the other factors and this is a powerful thing! Going into perimenopause changes our body and our metabolism and has an influence on symptoms and disease processes.
Fiona will speak about perimenopause symptoms and long term health outcomes relevant to hormonal changes. She will talk about what you can expect to happen and how you can best prepare yourself beforehand. This doesn’t mean that you can’t put these tools into action in the perimenopause and menopause also. She will also cover symptoms, weight management, sleep and anxiety, osteoporosis and cardiovascular health among other topics. There will be plenty of time for questions and if other topics are identified which you would like to delve deeper into, these can also be addressed during the session.

Who is it for?
IP Inclusive webinars are for everyone who works in the UK’s IP sector. All genders and all ages are welcome, as are people from all roles and career levels. You might be going through (peri)menopause yourself, or already have done so, or just want to know more for the future. You might be joining to find out how you can support family, friends and colleagues who are going through (peri)menopause.
Feel free to invite a friend or colleague to come along with you – someone in a different role or at a different career level, perhaps, or a colleague who’s not yet involved with IP Inclusive. They’ll be most welcome!
Registration
This event is free. So are all IP Inclusive resources. That said, they do need money to keep the show on the road, so if you enjoy the event please consider contributing. For more information, visit the IP Inclusive fundraising page.
