The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium organised a night run to celebrate Women’s month and we had an incredible evening hosting a Nutrition Stall. Connected with so many amazing women who are passionate about their health, fitness and wellbeing.

From chatting about women’ health to sharing practical tips for everyday healthy eating, we loved being part of an event that celebrated movement, strength and community.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall, asked questions, shared a smile and made the evening so special!
Here’s to nourishing our bodies, supporting our goals and celebrating every step along the way.

Strong bones aren’t just about getting enough calcium. For women, nutrition plays an important role in supporting bone health throughout every stage of life: from young adulthood to pregnancy, menopause, and beyond.

Women’s bone health deserves attention at every age. Small, consistent nutrition and lifestyle choices today can support stronger bones for years to come.

Worried about your health and want to know whether your diet is providing what your bones need? Speak to a registered dietitian for personalised guidance.

Menopause is a natural transition, but that doesn’t mean you have to simply “put up with” changes in your body.

As we age, our nutrition needs evolve too. The goal isn’t restrictive dieting or chasing the number on the scale. It’s nourishing your body, protecting your health, and feeling your best.

Menopause can also bring changes in appetite, body composition, cholesterol, blood sugar, sleep and bone health, making individualised nutrition advice especially valuable.
You don’t need to eat less and less as you get older. You may simply need to eat differently and nourish yourself more intentionally.

Menopause is not the end of your health journey. It’s an opportunity to invest in the years ahead.
If you’re navigating menopause or want support with nutrition as you age, speak to a registered dietitian for personalised guidance.
