WeightWatchers launches menopause program with Queen Latifah

WeightWatchers has launched a program aimed at helping women manage weight and common menopausal symptoms, offering tailored nutrition guidance, community support and expert-led resources for those in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. The initiative, called WeightWatchers for Menopause, names actress and producer Queen Latifah as its first official spokesperson and is available through the company’s membership plans, which start from 16.95 a month.

The programme is designed to address changes many women experience during midlife, including unexpected weight gain, disrupted sleep, fluctuating energy and mood changes. WeightWatchers said the offering combines medical advice with nutrition plans that account for hormonal fluctuations, and emphasizes it is not intended to be another diet. Core features include a menopause symptom quiz that provides personalised recommendations, workshops led by experts, practical nutrition guidance focused on nutrients such as protein, fibre and calcium, and online community support intended to share experiences and encouragement.
