You feel tired and lethargic and want to know what you should be eating and drinking to best support you.

You leave medical appointments with more questions than you walked in with.
If any of those sound familiar, this evening was planned for you.

Meet the experts
Dr Emily Watters, Specialist GP and Founder of Pause Medical Specialists
A specialist general practitioner with a focus on women's hormonal health, menopause, metabolic medicine and medical aesthetics. Emily founded Pause Medical Specialists to bring evidence-based menopause care, with Medicare rebates, to practices across Australia. She's a firm believer that women do best when their GP, dietitian and exercise physiologist work as one team.
Mitchell Vautin, Exercise Physiologist, Founder of Exercise Healthcare Australia
An exercise physiologist (a university-qualified health professional who uses tailored exercise to treat and prevent health problems) who has spent ten years working with women before, during and after menopause. In that time Mitchell has seen too many women arrive after a fracture, wishing someone had put a barbell in their hands decades earlier. He knows it isnt their fault, unfortunately women get steered toward everything but weight training. Mitchell helps make strength training not just possible but enjoyable for women.
Lizalet Oosthuizen, Accredited Practising Dietitian, The Menopause Dietitian
A dietitian who works solely with women in perimenopause and beyond. Drawing on lived experience as much as the evidence, Lizalet helps women move from restriction and overwhelm to strength, energy and confidence, using real food and strategies that fit real life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is it, and where do I park?
The evening is at Exercise Healthcare Australia, 458 Enoggera Rd, Alderley QLD 4051. There's free parking at the clinic (14 bays) and plenty of street parking on Elgin St and nearby side streets. We'll include a simple map and parking tips in your confirmation email so you're not circling the block at 5:55pm.
I'm only in my late 30s. Is it too early?
No. Many women start noticing changes in their late 30s and early 40s, even before periods change. If you're curious, confused, or want to get ahead of bone and muscle changes before they become a problem, this evening is for you. You don't need to be in the thick of it for this to be useful.
I'm well past menopause. Is it too late?
It's not too late. Bone, muscle and balance can improve with the right exercise and nutrition at any age. If you're post-menopause and want to stay strong, steady and independent for as long as possible, you'll get a lot from this session. We'll talk about what still changes after menopause and what you can do now.
Will anyone ask me to sign up for anything on the night?
No one will be selling from the stage. You'll get 90 minutes of plain-English education and time for questions. If you decide you'd like more support afterwards, you can book a full initial exercise physiology assessment at the front desk on your way out, using the $54 credit in your goody bag. If you just want to learn and leave, that's completely fine.
What if I can't make it on the day?
You're welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend or family member. Just email us their name before 12pm on the day and we'll update the list. If you can't find someone to take your place, email us and we'll move your $27 ticket to credit toward an initial assessment at EHA Alderley, valid for 30 days from the event date.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, absolutely. Each person needs their own ticket so we can keep numbers capped at 30 and make sure there's a seat (and a goody bag) for everyone. Booking for two or more? Just purchase multiple tickets under your name and we'll confirm everyone by email.
