Nutrition and Hydration for Active Women

Women have unique and evolving nutrition and hydration needs throughout their physically active years. Yet research on physical activity has historically been based on male physiology, leaving gaps in guidance for everyday physically active women. 

This webinar brings together Dr. Jessica Garay, a leading researcher in women’s health and nutrition, and Val Schoenberg, a women’s health dietitian, to explore evidence-based, practical strategies for supporting physically active women across the lifespan.

Key Topics Covered
  • Understand the physiologic, hormonal, and metabolic changes across an active woman’s lifecycle
  • Nutrient and hydration needs to support physically active women’s performance
  • Review emerging research on nutrition and hydration strategies for physically active women 
  • Tailor evidence-based nutrition and hydration strategies for active females
