Description: During menopause, hormonal shifts contribute to metabolic changes, often resulting in weight gain. Join us for a session that delves into the science behind weight changes in menopause, explores body composition shifts, and discusses strategies to optimize the management of obesity. Empower your patient care with knowledge to help your patients maintain a healthy weight and overall well-being during this transformative phase in women's lives.

| Learning Objectives: |
| 1. Apply the latest recommendations for evaluation and treatment; tailor intervention strategies based on patient characteristics such as age or metabolic or behavioral phenotype; understand the differences between weight loss and weight loss maintenance. |
| 2. Understand the evidence-based science regarding neuroendocrine, environmental, endocrine, microbiota and/or cognitive behavioral mechanisms regulating energy balance and body weight. Apply that knowledge to develop and implement treatment options for adults and pediatric patients with overweight, obesity or obesity-related co-morbidities. |
| 5. Apply new knowledge related to obesity treatment options from the perspectives of Metabolism and Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience, Intervention and Clinical Studies, Population Health, Clinical/Professional Practice, and Policy/Public Health. |
