Stronger bones start in your kitchen
Stronger bones start in your kitchen, but they are supported by more than food alone. This restorative culinary experience brings together nutrition, movement, and clinical insight to support bone health, particularly through midlife and beyond.
The experience begins with an online educational presentation, where I explore the key nutritional principles for supporting bone health, including how everyday food choices can help maintain bone density and overall resilience. This is complemented by Jo Hawi, Fitness Trainer and Menopause Coaching Specialist, who shares practical movement and lifestyle strategies informed by both her professional expertise and personal journey with osteopenia.
Adding a deeper clinical perspective, Dr. Hala Zahreddine, Clinical Research Scientist specializing in midlife hormonal changes and their impact on women’s health, contributes evidence-based insight on bone density and osteoporosis, helping connect nutrition and movement with the physiological shifts of midlife.
Participants can then join a hands-on cooking session in my home kitchen, where the nutritional principles from the presentation are brought to life through practical culinary skills and bone-supportive recipes. You have the flexibility to attend the online educational presentation, the cooking session, or both, with recorded options available for anyone unable to join live.
What you’ll experience:
Guests are greeted with a warm welcome coffee upon arrival, setting a friendly and inviting tone.
Participate in a hands-on cooking class with a curated selection of tasty, bone-healthy recipes.
