NORWICH – Understanding metabolism is key, especially for women, according to Andrea Bryan, MS, RD, CSOWM, CD.

 

As a clinical dietitian at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital, Bryan’s focus is on helping people make sense of food, health, and lifestyle choices.

 

“Understanding metabolism and how it works, especially as we age and all the outside influences that impact it is vital,” she explained. “Metabolism for women is especially important throughout the lifecycle as it changes drastically during pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause.”

 

Bryan will be speaking on the topic in a presentation on Nutrition and Metabolism on Wednesday, January 21 at Canasawacta Country Club, 261 County Road 44 in Norwich. The program will begin at 6 p.m. with social time and the opportunity to order from the menu and bar. The presentation and discussion will follow at 7 p.m.

 

The talk is part of UHS Chenango Memorial’s Her Health Matters Series – a series of informative conversations about different aspects of women’s health, held monthly at Canasawacta Country Club.

 

Bryan said she hopes the session will provide clarity and confidence for those feeling stuck or frustrated.

 

“I look forward to educating anyone who is feeling stuck or frustrated on new ideas and ways to address these issues,” she said. “I love to present evidence-based research to dispel any myths or popular trends that are secretly harmful.”

 

According to Bryan, her ultimate goal is to leave attendees feeling empowered.

 

“I would love for anyone who is attending to leave this presentation feeling hopeful and add new skills to their toolbox on their journey of health,” she said.
