Course description
The Nutrition and Women’s Health program is a 14-week online program that explores the intersection of nutrition planning, behavior change, and women’s health in the context of overall well-being. Combining two expert-led programs—Health and Wellness: Designing a Sustainable Nutrition Plan and the Women’s Health and Wellness Program—this comprehensive learning experience builds a deeper understanding of menopause science, preventive care, and healthy living across life stages.
In a landscape often shaped by misinformation and trend-driven narratives around nutrition and women’s midlife health, this program offers a credible, research-based perspective. Through self-paced learning, applied reflection, and instruction from Harvard Medical School faculty and leading specialists, participants engage with evidence-based frameworks in nutrition and lifestyle medicine, alongside insights into mental, cardiovascular, and brain health for women—strengthening their ability to make informed decisions for personal, professional, or community well-being.
Note: This program does not grant academic credit and does not provide certification as a professional coach. This non-degree program offers a certificate of completion to participants who meet the program requirements.
