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. Together, we’ll: 

• Understand the physiologic, hormonal, and metabolic changes across an active woman’s  lifecycle from adolescence through menopause, and how these changes influence nutrition and  hydration needs 
• Identify key nutrient and hydration needs to support physically active women’s performance,  recovery, energy levels, and overall health 
• Review emerging research on nutrition and hydration strategies for physically active women ∙ Tailor evidence-based nutrition and hydration strategies for active females at different life  stages
