SUMMARY:Women's Strength: Fitness & Nutrition During Perimenopause
DESCRIPTION:Perimenopause brings real\, measurable shifts in how the body responds to food\, exercise\, and recovery — and most women navigate it without any concrete guidance. This free public panel changes that. \nJoin registered dietitian Simone Wilson\, MS\, RD\, CPT and physical therapist Tricia Renshaw\, DPT for an evidence-based conversation on what actually works during this stage of life. Together\, they bring clinical expertise in hormonal health\, nutrition\, movement\, and nervous system recovery — and Tricia offers personal perspective as someone navigating perimenopause herself. They’ll address the changes that matter most during this phase\, take on common misconceptions\, and answer your questions directly. \nTopics will include: \n\nHow perimenopause shifts your nutritional needs — and what to do about it\nAbdominal weight gain: what’s driving it and how nutrition can help\nProtecting bone density before menopause\nFoods and ingredients that may ease symptoms — and those that may worsen them\nThe truth about intermittent fasting during this phase\nWhich supplements have real evidence behind them (and which don’t)\nStrength\, movement\, and recovery through midlife\n\nWhether you’re in the thick of perimenopause or want to get ahead of it\, this is a practical\, no-nonsense hour worth your time. \nFree and open to the public. \nThis event will occur on Tuesday\, May 27 from 6:00–7:00 PM at Wrong Way’s River Lodge. There is no cost to attend. Space is limited to 40 participants. \nPlease RSVP via this link.  \nPANELISTS: \n \nSimone is a registered dietitian with a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and clinical training from Mount Sinai Medical Center. She has spent 10 years in private practice helping adults navigate hormonal health concerns — including perimenopause and PCOS — alongside GI conditions\, diabetes\, and lasting weight management. Her approach combines intuitive eating with evidence-based science\, and she holds additional certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition and the Monash Low FODMAP Diet for IBS. \n \n  \nTricia is a physical therapist and owner of Restorative PT in Western North Carolina. With a background in dance and over a decade of clinical experience\, she brings an integrative perspective to movement\, recovery\, and long-term health. Her work combines orthopedic physical therapy with hands-on treatment\, dry needling\, and neuromuscular reeducation using the Neubie. She is BASE certified and currently completing her training through Somatic Experiencing International (SEI)\, informing a nervous system–based approach to pain\, stress\, and recovery. As a perimenopausal woman herself\, she brings both clinical expertise and personal insight to this conversation.
