On World Diabetes Day, it’s important to remember that hormonal changes during menopause can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Experiencing tingling or numbness in your hands and feet? These can be surprising symptoms of menopause. As estrogen levels drop, your nervous system can become more sensitive, leading to these sensations. While uncomfortable, there are ways to manage it through lifestyle changes and treatment options. Let’s talk during our session about how to reduce these symptoms.

Bladder issues are a common yet lesser-discussed symptom of menopause. Lower estrogen levels can lead to a weakening of the pelvic floor and increase urinary urgency or frequency. Treatments like pelvic floor exercises and local vaginal estrogen therapy can help improve bladder control. If you’re struggling with this, don’t be embarrassed let’s talk about solutions that can bring you comfort.

There’s often confusion between body-identical and bio-identical hormones. Body-identical hormones are available through the NHS and are chemically identical to those your body produces. Bio-identical hormones, however, are often marketed as a more natural, often herbal, alternative, but they aren’t regulated in the same way. It’s important to understand the difference and make informed choices. Let’s explore what’s right for you during your wellness consultation.

Vaginal estrogen, a body identical hormone, can be life changing for women experiencing dryness, itching, discomfort, bladder urgency, or recurrent UTIs. It works locally and doesn’t affect the rest of your body, so whether you are on HRT or not, it can be considered. It’s also not just for women in menopause or over 40, women of all ages can think about vaginal oestrogen. Many sexual health experts describe vaginal estrogen as skin care for the vagina and want to see it far more widely used because of it’s simple, natural and effective benefits. Want to know more? Let’s chat during your consultation about how vaginal estrogen could help improve your comfort and quality of life.

Stopping HRT suddenly can cause a resurgence of menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood swings. It’s important to speak to your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan. Instead we can explore why a gradual approach, with the support of a healthcare professional, is the best route for managing symptoms and long-term health.

As fun as bath bombs may be, their fragrances and colorants can disrupt vaginal health, sometimes leading to infections like thrush. Especially during menopause, when vaginal tissues are more sensitive, it’s a good idea to avoid these and opt for fragrance-free products. Let’s talk about ways to keep your intimate health in check during our upcoming session.

Many women with a history of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) can still use hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but it depends on the type of of therapy.   Transdermal estrogen (patches, gels and sprays) with micronized progesterone tablets, body identical hormones, are considered the safest option. This is because studies have shown that it doesn’t increase the risk of blood clots compared to not using HRT. Studies however have shown oral estrogen (which is usually synthetic estrogen but can be a combination of estrogen with synthetic progesterone) significantly increase the risk of blood clots.   The vaginal ring containing estradiol acetate for systemic treatment is another option that has been shown to be effective in managing vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) without increasing the risk of blood clots.

Benefits of HRT:
* Reduces hot flashes and night sweats: HRT can significantly improve these common symptoms of menopause.
* Protect against osteoporosis: By replacing lost estrogen, HRT can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
* Reduce the risk of heart disease: Some studies show that HRT may have protective effects on the heart, particularly in women who start it soon after menopause.
* Improves mood and cognitive function: Help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, and it may also have positive effects on memory and thinking skills.
* Reduced risk of colorectal cancer: HRT may lower the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
* Improved quality of life: By managing menopause symptoms and potentially reducing the risk of certain health conditions, HRT can improve overall quality of life. 
It’s important to talk to your doctor to assess your individual risk factors and determine the best treatment for you.

The terms ‘synthetic’ and ‘body-identical’ hormones can be confusing, but the difference is important.

Synthetic hormones are often made from plant or animal sources and differ in structure from the hormones your body produces.

Body-identical hormones, available on the NHS, are chemically identical to the ones naturally found in your body, making them a more natural choice for hormone replacement.

When starting HRT, tracking your symptoms is crucial to understand how your body is responding to treatment. By noting changes in mood, sleep, energy, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms, you can provide valuable insights to your healthcare provider. This personalized approach ensures you’re receiving the optimal hormone balance for your unique needs.

Consider using a symptom tracker app or journal to record your observations. These tools can help you identify patterns and track the effectiveness of your treatment over time. Be sure to note any changes in the frequency, intensity, or duration of your symptoms. There are some great apps out there to make it easy check out @balancemenopause

Communicate openly and honestly with your healthcare provider. Share your tracking data and any concerns or questions you may have. They can use this information to adjust your HRT dosage or type if necessary, ensuring you’re getting the most benefit from the treatment.

Remember that it may take some time to see noticeable changes. While some women may experience improvements within a few weeks, others may need several months to adjust to the HRT regimen. Doctors often recommend trying a HRT regimen for at least 3 months to give your body time to adjust to the hormonal changes.

Patience is key. Your body needs time to respond to the new hormones. It’s important to avoid getting discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. By tracking your symptoms and working closely with your healthcare provider, you can determine the best course of action for your individual needs.

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is a condition that occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop functioning normally before the age of 40. This means that her ovaries produce fewer or no eggs, and her estrogen levels are low. It affects about 1 in 100 women in the UK, and while it’s less common, it’s still important to understand.

Early diagnosis and treatment, often with HRT, can protect long-term health. POI can have a significant impact on a woman’s life.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
* Irregular or absent periods: This is often the first sign of POI.
* Hot flashes and night sweats: These are similar to those experienced during menopause.
* Vaginal dryness: This can make sex uncomfortable.
* Difficulty conceiving: Women with POI may have trouble getting pregnant.
* Mood changes: POI can cause mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
* Osteoporosis: Low estrogen levels can increase the risk of osteoporosis.

How can a woman get a diagnosis? If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of POI, it is important to see a doctor. Your doctor will likely perform a physical exam and order some blood tests to check your hormone levels.

Struggling to sleep during perimenopause? You’re not alone. Progesterone is a calming hormone that interacts with GABA receptors in your brain, helping to promote relaxation and better sleep. For women on HRT, taking progesterone in the evening, about 30 minutes before bed, can support a restful night. Having an evening wind down routine which helps you relax before bed, whether that’s playing calming music, reading a book, dong some meditation or breathing exercises or relaxing in a warm bath. A silk eye mask and ear plugs may sound too simple but they can be a very effective way to get you to sleep and keep you in the zzzz’s.

If sleep is a struggle, we can help create a personalized plan to support your natural rhythms and get you back to feeling rested.

Did you know that menopause can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke? As estrogen levels decline, heart health becomes a key concern. Heart palpitations are a common symptom that many women can feel during perimenopause. HRT can help lower this risk and protect your cardiovascular system. Pair this with regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and breathing exercises to boost your blood oxygen levels.
On World Stroke Day, let’s prioritize heart health in menopause. We’re here to help you take control and keep your heart healthy.

Dryness, soreness and itching, is a common symptom. The thinning and drying of vaginal tissues can lead to discomfort, pain, and decreased libido. These changes can make intercourse less enjoyable and may even discourage women from being intimate with their partner.
However, it’s important to remember that these challenges can be addressed. Vaginal estrogen, is a non-systemic treatment, that can help restore vaginal health and reduce discomfort without affecting the whole body. This makes it a suitable option for women who are already on systemic HRT or that do not want to or cannot take HRT, talk to your healthcare provider.
Open communication with your partner is essential. Discussing your concerns and exploring potential solutions together can strengthen your relationship and help you navigate this new phase of life.

Osteoporosis is a serious condition that affects millions of women worldwide. In fact, by the age of 50, 1 in 2 women will experience an osteoporotic fracture, and hip fractures are particularly dangerous, often leading to disability and even death. This makes it crucial to prioritize bone health in your 40s and beyond.

While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) will be beneficial, there are also other lifestyle factors that can significantly impact bone health:
* Weight-bearing exercises: Activities like reforma pilates, dancing, and gentle weightlifting help stimulate bone growth and increase bone density.
* Calcium and vitamin D: These essential nutrients are vital for bone health. Incorporate calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified cereals into your diet. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Sunlight exposure is a natural source of vitamin D, but supplements may be necessary, especially during winter months and those of us in the UK.
* Healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, and not smoking can also contribute to strong bones.

By taking proactive steps to protect your bone health, you can reduce your risk of osteoporosis and fractures, ensuring a healthier and more active future.

Struggling with hot flashes and night sweats? You’re not alone. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be effective, there are also simple lifestyle changes you can try to manage these symptoms:
* Cooling techniques:
* Keep your bedroom cool and well-ventilated.
* Use a fan or cooling cloth by your bedside.
* Spritz lavender water on your skin before bed.
* Take a cool shower or bath before bed.
* Clothing choices:
* Opt for natural fiber pajamas and bed linen, like 100% cotton, linen, or silk.
* Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing during the day.
* Dietary adjustments:
* Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine, which can trigger hot flashes.
* Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
* Consider incorporating foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as soybeans, lentils, and flaxseeds.
* Stress management:
* Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
* Get enough sleep.
* Yoga & pilates can be good ways to get your exercise in while also focuses on your mental wellbeing.

Remember, every woman’s experience with perimenopause is unique. If you’re struggling with hot flashes and night sweats, don’t hesitate to seek support from a healthcare professional or a menopause wellness coach. We’re here to help you find the strategies that work best for you.

These unexpected symptoms can sneak up on you during this time, making it tough to figure out what’s going on.

That’s why self-awareness is key. Tracking your symptoms can help you identify patterns and understand what’s happening with your body. Our wellness sessions are here to support you through each stage of perimenopause, providing guidance and tools to navigate this journey with confidence.

Testosterone isn’t just for men! Women produce significant amounts throughout their lives, but levels begin to decline around age 40, which can affect energy, libido, and even brain function. Testosterone therapy can be a safe and effective part of HRT, helping with issues like brain fog, low energy, and mood swings.

Our sessions help you explore HRT and discuss ways to improve libido, offering a personalized approach to your menopause journey.

Menopause can bring significant changes to our bodies and our relationships. As estrogen and testosterone levels decline, libido and vaginal health can be affected. This can impact intimacy and connection with our partners.

Tips for intimacy:
* Consider testosterone therapy: Testosterone plays a crucial role in libido and sexual function. Discuss this option with your healthcare provider to assess if it’s right for you. Topical gels, patches, or injections are some of the available methods.
* Prioritize vaginal health: Use vaginal estrogen or moisturizers as recommended.
* Lubricate: Water-based lubricants can enhance comfort during sex.
* Choose the right products: Opt for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products to avoid irritation.
* Open communication: Talk openly with your partner about your feelings and needs.
* Explore new positions and techniques: Experimentation can help rediscover intimacy and pleasure.
* Focus on non-sexual intimacy: Physical touch, cuddling, and emotional connection are essential for a fulfilling relationship.
* Seek professional help: If you’re struggling with sexual dysfunction or relationship issues, consider seeking guidance from a therapist or counselor. @samtalkssex offers some incredible insights if you are looking for an expert to follow.

Remember, menopause doesn’t have to define your sex life. With the right strategies and support, you can maintain a fulfilling and enjoyable intimate relationship.

Let’s clear up some myths. Body-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a safe and effective option for many women experiencing menopause symptoms. Contrary to popular belief (due to the flawed and inaccurate media reporting in the 90’s and early 2000’s) it does not significantly increase the risk of breast cancer, especially for women under 60. In fact, HRT can offer numerous benefits, including protecting bone health, reducing hot flashes and night sweats, and lowering the risk of heart disease and bowel cancer. In 2023 a study was released confirming that vaginal estrogen is safe for women with breast cancer and helps with vaginal health, dryness and irritation, often leading to UTI’s (published in JAMA Oncology Nov.2023).

It’s important to work with a knowledgeable healthcare provider to determine if body-identical HRT is right for you. I’m also here to offer guidance based on the latest evidence, so you can feel confident in your choices and speaking to your doctor. Empower yourself with accurate information.

Frequent UTIs? You’re not alone. As a qualified menopause wellness expert I can help you manage symptoms and improve your vaginal health. While estrogen levels drop during perimenopause, many women experience recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder discomfort. It can be draining both physically and emotionally. But the good news is that vaginal estrogen can help, even if you’re already on HRT. Book a private session with me to discuss your concerns.

Tips for Managing UTIs
* Combine treatments: Use vaginal moisturizers and lubricants to soothe symptoms. Avoid irritants like synthetic underwear.
* Wipe correctly: Always wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to prevent bacteria from spreading.
* Urinate frequently: Holding in urine can increase the risk of UTI.
* Avoid irritants: Certain products like scented soaps, douches and tight-fitting clothing can irritate the urinary tract.
* Empty your bladder completely: After intercourse, empty your bladder to help flush out bacteria.
* Watch your diet: Some foods and drinks, like cranberry juice and yogurt, contain probiotics that can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the urinary tract.

Osteoporosis affects millions of women, especially after menopause. In the UK alone, around 3 million people suffer from osteoporosis, with 1 in 2 women over 50 experiencing a fracture related to weakened bones. Osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis, can begin as early as perimenopause. This World Osteoporosis Day let’s remember we are only as strong as our bones, literally!

💡 Tip: Did you know that HRT helps prevent bone density loss? Alongside regular exercise, weight-bearing activities, and a nutrient-rich diet, including calcium and vitamin D, you can keep your bones strong. I work with women to build holistic plans that support long-term bone health. Don’t wait, taking care of your bone health starts now.
