Menopause nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all recipe, especially when the US has a myriad of cultures. Dietitians must demonstrate cultural sensitivity in recommending dietary changes that may help relieve menopause symptoms and promote optimal health during this phase of life. This session will cover the fundamentals of menopause, along with the culturally diverse tools essential for patient-centered healthcare.
