Using Lifestyle Medicine to Manage Hormonal Changes

Women experience significant hormonal changes throughout their lives—from puberty and pregnancy to postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause—that can affect physical performance, mental health, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Without proper understanding and support, these transitions can present challenges for both women and the fitness professionals who coach them. This engaging course, led by Reena Vokoun, M.S., Founder and CEO of Passion Fit and an ACE Certified Pro, provides a practical, evidence-informed approach to navigating women’s hormonal health through lifestyle medicine.

Designed for fitness and wellness professionals who train or coach women, as well as women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, this course focuses on actionable strategies that can be applied immediately. You will learn how to leverage exercise, nutrition and supplementation, hormonal care, sleep, and stress management to support themselves and their clients through hormonal transitions. By increasing awareness and providing practical tools, this course empowers participants to deliver more informed, supportive coaching and help women thrive through every stage of life.
