Why train to teach menopause clients?

There are three stages of menopause: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause. It describes a time when hormones start to decline and menstrual cycles become erratic and irregular.

Absence of period for 12 months.
Hot flashes.
Night sweats.
Mood swings and irritability.
Difficulty sleeping.
Cognitive changes / brain fog.
Vaginal dryness.
Vaginal/vulvar itching.

Why is it important to understand menopause?

While most know that hot flashes and the end of menstrual periods signify the menopausal process, there are also associated mental and physical health risks that are critical to determining an overall health plan and helping your clients in the best way possible.

Because osteoporosis risk skyrockets following menopause (estrogen is needed to help lay down bone), strength training is especially vital. Strength training exercises will help to build bone and muscle strength, burn body fat, and rev up your metabolism.

Menopause Coaches act as lifestyle coaches by providing recommendations and support for you in implementing habits to better manage menopause symptoms. Menopause Coaches cannot prescribe medications or diagnose or treat symptoms, but can work to support you with exercise and nutritional plans.

One study showed that women who lived sedentary lives had more severe menopause symptoms than active women. Another study found that regular exercise could prevent postmenopausal symptoms significantly.
