Bladder Health & Menopause: A Nutrition & Lifestyle Approach with Jackie Lynch

Recurrent UTIs, bladder sensitivity, urgency, or changes in urinary patterns are common during perimenopause and menopause. As oestrogen levels decline, the bladder, urethra and vaginal tissues all undergo changes that can make the urinary tract more vulnerable to irritation and infection.

Understanding this connection can be a helpful first step in recognising what’s going on and finding practical ways to support symptoms day to day

Join us for this practical, down-to-earth session designed to give you clear, evidence-based strategies.

What to Expect from This Session:

The session will include:

• The role of optimum nutrition in hormone balance and menopause

• Why menopause increases your UTI risk: the oestrogen-bladder connection explained

• The vaginal microbiome: how to use food to support the bacteria that protect you

• Key foods and nutrients that actively reduce UTI frequency and severity

• What to drink, what to avoid, and the counterintuitive truth about hydration

• Pelvic floor support through diet:- why managing constipation matters more than you think

• Supplements - what the evidence actually says

There will also be a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and get clear, practical answers from an experienced clinical nutritionist.

Who Is This Webinar For?

This session is for anyone experiencing bladder changes during perimenopause or menopause — including recurrent UTIs, urgency, frequency, bladder discomfort or general concerns about urinary health. No prior nutrition knowledge needed.

A recording will be available after the event.
