Dr Emily Simon returns by popular demand for two new sessions exploring wellness and weight loss trends, and hormone replacement therapy and menopause.
Session 1 (28 January): Wellness in Focus: Weight loss Jabs, Self-Care and a Healthy New Year
Everywhere you look, weight-loss injections are making headlines, but how do they work, who are they for and what do you need to consider before starting?
Dr Emily will discuss the very popular weight-loss injections which are described as 'game-changing' for weight-loss and type 2 diabetes. Joined by personal trainers, Anna & Char from Ace Transform, this talk will explore what else really underpins lasting health for women, from nutrition, exercise, sleep and self-care. Join this talk to start your year feeling informed, confident and ready to make choices that support your wellbeing.
Session 2 (26 February): Hormone Replacement Therapy and Menopause
Following the sold-out talk on ‘Perimenopause, Menopause and Beyond’ last year, Dr Emily is back to discuss menopause and its symptoms, with a particular focus on using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and its role in symptom management, its impact on long-term health and its implications for breast cancer risk.
