Tipperary Sports Partnership will facilitate a workshop on    .

This workshop will discuss menopause, exercise and nutrition.

It will take place in The Anner Hotel, Thurles on Saturday January 13 from 9am to 1pm and in the Carraig Hotel, Carrick-on- Suir on Saturday March 2 from 9am to 1pm.

We all know the benefits of exercise and nutrition for maintaining lifelong health but for midlife women, hormonal change can sometimes make it difficult to continue with normal routines.

The two big questions are “Why has exercise become so hard” and “Why have I gained weight?”

There is no one answer to this question. The answer lies in figuring out our menopause jigsaw of HRT (optional), specific exercise, specific nutrition and self-care.

When all the pieces in the jigsaw join that is where the magic happens, and we get back to feeling like ourselves again.

Irene Clark, Midlife Coaching Professional, will host two four-hour workshops Mastering Midlife for Women on Saturday mornings in Thurles and Carrick-on-Suir.

The workshop is ideal for all women from 35-plus years who are wondering how peri-menopause and menopause is affecting them mentally and physically, and how making small changes can increase energy levels, improve sleep and mood and decrease weight gain.

The cost of the workshop is €20, plus online booking fee. Places are limited so early booking is advised.
