This program involves women participating in workshops and individual meetings focused on healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management. Participants will receive coaching from a multidisciplinary team, including a dietitian, physiotherapist, and psychologist, to enhance their self-efficacy and encourage lifestyle changes.
