FAQ

  • Is this covered by health insurance?

    Many extended health insurance benefit plans have coverage for the services of a Registered Dietitian. You need to inquire with your employee individual benefits plan.

  • What if I'm not a competitive athlete and not training for any specific events - will the program still be applicable for me?

    This program content will be applicable to anyone who enjoys being active in any capacity and wants to continue to be active regularly, and is going through perimenopause and menopause.

  • Is this a good program for me if I want to lose weight?

    We focus on fueling for training, athletic performance, and function, and not on weight loss. We truly believe that if you are fueling your body properly for the training that you're doing, your body will find its best weight. We do not work on intentional weight loss in this course, as restrictive diets are not recommended for training or general health. We focus on a healthy relationship with food and body. We will discuss how to navigate societal pressures to lose weight and how to deal with negative body image.
