Atlanta Chapter: The Midlife Shift: Rethinking Women’s Health, Bodies, and Nourishment
1 May @ 10:15 am – 5:15 pm
This intermediate-to-advanced level continuing education workshop provides an interdisciplinary, trauma-informed framework for understanding and treating disordered eating and eating disorders during midlife, with emphasis on perimenopause and menopause. Participants will examine the intersection of hormonal and metabolic changes, relational trauma, attachment dynamics, and sociocultural influences, including weight stigma and systemic bias.
Using the clinical framework of regulate → relate → reason, this training integrates psychotherapy, nutrition science, and medical perspectives to support ethical, culturally responsive, and evidence-informed care. Participants will gain practical skills in assessment, diagnosis, interdisciplinary collaboration, and treatment planning for midlife populations.
