You asked for it - Your Hormone Questions Answered

🔘 Weight Gain in Perimenopause and Menopause: what worked for us in our 20's and 30s is definitely NOT working now! I talk about how we need to work WITH our changing hormones and… spoiler, it's not even progesterone and estrogen!!!

🔘 Vaginal Dryness: Addressing a topic that is often kept hushed, I shed light on the causes of vaginal dryness, its impact, and effective ways to restore comfort and intimacy.

🔘 Why is my Dr prescribing Antidepressants for Menopause Symptoms? OK… this is an outdated treatment and your GP needs to get up to speed! There are often side effects to these and they are not easy to come off (so don't just stop if you're taking them!) They often end up causing more issues than your hot flushes! If you're suffering from depression, antidepressants are helpful. If you're going through menopause there are much better options!

🔘 Bloating and Gas: Super common, but embarrassing… our hormones can change the way we digest food. We have lower stomach acid and digestive enzymes… also the potential for an increase in food sensitivities. What you can do to feel more comfortable.

🔘 Navigating Anger and Rage: Feeling a surge of emotions that are out of character? Learn about the emotional changes that can occur and find empowerment in knowing you're not alone.

🔘 Unravelling Skin Issues: From dryness to acne, I provide guidance on caring for your changing skin and offer tips for maintaining that healthy glow.

🔘 Perimenopausal Migraines: Migraines can be debilitating, but fear not! I discuss the connection between hormonal shifts and migraines, along with strategies to find relief.

🔘 Taming Hot Flushes and Night Sweats: We delve into the world of temperature fluctuations, night sweats, and hot flushes, sharing insights on how to manage these common symptoms.
