The Menopause Matrix: Helping Midlife Clients to Thrive with Functional Nutrition
This four-part training programme offers a clinically focused, functional nutrition approach to menopause and perimenopause care. Each session dives into a key area of menopausal health, helping you move beyond symptom suppression toward root-cause, system-based interventions.
Christine’s new Book, Supporting Materials & Private Facebook Group Included
Many practitioners are seeing an increasing number of midlife clients struggling with unexplained fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, poor sleep, and stubborn symptoms that don’t resolve with standard hormone therapy alone. This webinar reframes menopause as a complex, multisystem transition, not simply a reproductive hormone deficiency.
Drawing on a functional medicine lens, this session explores the intricate interplay of a range of hormonal, inflammatory, metabolic, and neurological changes that drive symptoms in the perimenopausal and menopausal years. We’ll examine how nutrition can be used not only to ease symptoms but to restore system-wide balance, resilience, and long-term health. It will highlight key concepts for dietary planning and testing
The programme includes 3 professional grade supplements and 4 online webinars
Christine’s new Book
Discover meal plans, menopause support tips, and a variety of helpful resources all compiled in one book.

Webinar 1
Monday 17th November 12:00- 13:00
The Metabolic Shift – Weight, Insulin, and Energy in Menopause
This session introduces the functional framework underpinning the programme, highlighting menopause as a multi-system transition, not just a hormone deficiency. With that lens, we begin where many clients struggle most: unwanted weight gain, fatigue, and blood sugar dysregulation. You'll explore the interplay between oestrogen, insulin, cortisol, and muscle mass, and how declining hormone sensitivity alters energy production and metabolic health.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the hormonal and mitochondrial changes driving metabolic slowdown.
- Explore how insulin resistance, cortisol, and sarcopenia contribute to visceral fat.
- Review key labs
- Learn evidence-based dietary strategies: blood sugar balance, protein leverage, and fasting protocols.
- Review clinical tools: berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, muscle-preserving interventions.
Webinar 2
Friday 21st November 12:00- 13:00
The Heart of the Matter – Cardiovascular Risk in Midlife Women
Post-menopausal women face a dramatic rise in cardiovascular disease risk. In this module, you'll examine how declining oestrogen, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction contribute to dyslipidaemia, vascular ageing, and hypertension. Learn how to assess and support heart health with advanced markers and targeted nutritional protocols.
Key Learning Points:
- How oestrogen influences vascular tone, nitric oxide, lipid metabolism, and inflammation.
- Review emerging risk markers: ApoB, LDL particle size, CRP, homocysteine, omega-3 index.
- Understand the connection between menopause, blood pressure, and endothelial health.
- Nutrition interventions: nitrate-rich foods, anti-inflammatory fats, magnesium, fibre, CoQ10.
- Lifestyle strategies: walking protocols, sleep, stress management for blood pressure control.
Webinar 3
Monday 24th November 12:00- 13:00
Bones, Joints & Inflammation – Structural Resilience in midlife
This session focuses on the musculoskeletal system, where hormonal changes accelerate bone loss, joint pain, and muscle decline. We’ll explore the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and how a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet can preserve structural health and function in midlife and beyond.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the role of oestrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and inflammation in bone and joint degeneration.
- Learn how to support osteoblast activity, collagen synthesis, and mineralisation.
- Clinical nutrition: calcium cofactors (K2, magnesium, boron), anti-inflammatory protocols, collagen, curcumin.
- Role of gut-bone axis
- Movement guidance: resistance training, impact-loading, mobility work.
Webinar 4
Monday 1st December 12:00 – 13:00
Calm, Clarity & Sleep – Supporting the Mind in Menopause
Cognitive decline, mood swings, anxiety, and disrupted sleep are among the most distressing menopause symptoms. In this webinar you'll learn how to support neuroendocrine and circadian function through targeted dietary, lifestyle, and supplement strategies improving emotional wellbeing, sleep quality, and long-term brain health.
Key Learning Points:
- How oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence neurotransmitters and circadian rhythms.
- Role of insulin, inflammation, and blood sugar in sleep and cognition.
- Nutrition support: tryptophan, magnesium, phytoestrogens, flavonoids, omega-3s, adaptogens.
- Sleep protocols
