Just a short post to let you know about the menopause diary I’ve put together…a useful tool if you need one!
Frizzy, unruly, wiry hair…sound familiar any perimenopausal or postmenopausal women out there?
Sometimes it’s those annoying, niggling side effects of hormones that can really start to get you down…some would say all part of our hormonal journey…others would label them as part of the natural ageing process…
Headaches and hormones, or is it a migraine…yet another seemingly common symptom of the menopause.
Firstly, have you got a headache or a migraine. Is it related to those fluctuating hormones, the tipple you had the night before, any food you might have eaten, or just the stresses of life?
Tenuously linked to the menopause…more the whole female hormonal journey malarky!
A topic which comes up time and time again with many friends who have daughters are the differences between ourselves and them at this stage of life!
Men…Let’s Talk Menopause
A tad excited — ‘Men…Let’s Talk Menopause’ is the title of the book I’ve put together after several years of giving talks up and down the country.

Vulval health during menopause and throughout your life
Another interesting and informative talk at the recent BMS conference was on Vulval health which was presented by the delightful Dr Kay McAllister who is based at Sandyford Glasgow – I know what a topic, discussed even less than vaginal health, but equally as important. Ok can we just get this down in black and white […]
Post natal contraception…realise slightly off topic of menopause but all hormonal!
Just attended another extremely informative BMS conference up in Stirling which you will be pleased to hear was packed with HCPs (health care professional) – predominantly GPs with a sprinkling of specialist nurses, sexual health practitioners and the like there too. I would say if you are a HCP, interested in female health and not […]
