09:05 - 09:15: Hormones in motion: Supporting hormonal health across the female cycle | Kerry
Women’s health has long been oversimplified and underrepresented in both research and product innovation, contributing to the persistent women’s health gap. Female health extends far beyond reproductive and sexual wellbeing, encompassing women-specific conditions as well as broader health challenges that affect women differently. Join us at the Women's Networking Breakfast to explore how a deeper understanding of women’s hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan can support improved health and overall wellbeing.
Speaker: Monica Maria Olivares, RD&A director, Kerry
