Hot Topic: Menopause

Menopause is finally becoming the hot topic it deserves to be, as more women seek support during this stage of life. Yet, it remains under-discussed in many professional settings, especially within the aesthetics industry.

Menopause often brings a range of physical and emotional changes due to hormonal fluctuations, impacting not only mood and energy levels but also skin health. Symptoms like dryness, loss of elasticity, pigmentation, and sensitivity are common during perimenopause and menopause, making it essential for practitioners to understand the unique needs of this demographic.

Fresh Clinics is excited to partner with Chiza Westcarr, a leading skin health and nutrition expert to the Australian Fresh Life Conference this year. She will dive deep into “Addressing Symptoms, Skin Health, and Beyond for the Perimenopausal and Menopausal Patient.”

In 2017, Chiza founded the Nutrition & Skincare Academy to bridge the gap between skincare and nutrition. She aims to educate aesthetic professionals on integrating nutrition into their practice to tackle skin issues like acne, rosacea, and eczema, which are often linked to gut health and diet. Additionally, she is the creator of Florabiome, a product line designed to improve gut and skin health through nutrition.

Chiza's approach also focuses on treating menopausal symptoms with personalised nutrition plans to balance hormones. Her renowned Metabolic Balance® program, tailors eating plans based on individual blood tests, optimises metabolism and supports hormonal health. This holistic coaching not only alleviates menopause symptoms but also guides women through vital lifestyle changes to boost their vitality and confidence during this transition. 

Her session at The Fresh Life will empower attendees with the knowledge to confidently treat patients experiencing menopause. Given the lack of discussion around menopause, her insights are invaluable. She will equip attendees with the right nutritional strategies to manage menopausal symptoms effectively, ensuring aesthetic professionals are well-equipped to enhance their patients' confidence and well-being.
