Menopause, Weight and the ADHD Brain: Working With Your Changing Body

Join Diana Lipson-Burge, MS, RDN, CEDS for an engaging community chat on Menopause, Weight and the ADHD Brain: Working With Your Changing Body , Evidence-Based Nutrition for Metabolism, Muscle, and Well-Being. Diana will teach us to: • Recognize the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that commonly occur during perimenopause and menopause, including the impact of hormonal changes on brain health, executive functioning, and ADHD symptoms • Differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and apply mindful, intuitive eating strategies that support energy, mood, and overall well-being throughout the menopausal transition • Explain the essential roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, key micronutrients, and evidence-based supplements in supporting hormonal health, muscle preservation, cognitive function, bone health, and metabolic well-being during perimenopause and menopause • Apply practical, evidence-based lifestyle strategies: including movement, strength training, nutrition, and critical evaluation of diet culture—to build sustainable habits, improve long-term health, and confidently navigate misleading health and weight-loss claims.
