Menopause in focus: Free online lectures start on October 11th!

Menopause is often a taboo topic that is talked about far too little. In order to support women in this important phase of life, the health region plus district of Aichach-Friedberg is launching an online lecture series on October 11, 2025 under the motto“Women visible & healthy”. This initiative aims to encourage women to confidently manage their health and embrace the changes that this phase of life brings. The focus is not only on medical aspects, but also on mental health, nutrition, exercise and body awareness.

The lecture series is a cooperation between the Augsburger Land Adult Education Center e. V. and the adult education center in the Aichach-Friedberg district. V. and offers a total of six exciting themed evenings:

Background information

Menopause can be accompanied by a variety of side effects, such as digestive problems, dizziness, hot flashes and mood swings. These challenges can have a major impact on the quality of life. It is all the more important not to go through these changes alone. In an earlier online lecture on February 4, 2025, Susanne Liedtke, graduate ecotrophologist and founder of the NOBODYTOLDME platform, shed light on the topic and gave valuable tips on how to make this time more positive and gave women the opportunity to ask questions.

In addition, the DAK is planning further content about menopause, including interviews with hormone expert Dr. Katrin Schaudig and nutritional tips from Susanne Liedtke to offer women the support they need to feel comfortable in their bodies.

Take advantage of the opportunity and find out how you can actively manage your health during menopause. Participation is easy, informative and, above all, free - an opportunity you shouldn't miss!
