Menopause is one of the most significant transitionary stages in women’s lives, and some of the least desirable changes will inevitably hit you below the belt.  You’re not alone, though. 57% of perimenopausal and menopausal women will experience vaginal atrophy; a collection of uncomfortable symptoms caused by your hormones falling out of balance.   With restorative medicine, you can re-gain your comfort ‘down there’, revitalise your sex life and regain control of your water. Here’s everything you need to know:  What are the potential symptoms of vaginal atrophy? Vaginal at ..read more

They’re felt as intense attacks of heat and sweating, and may cause your heart to beat in a rapid, percussive staccato. They can begin in your face, your chest or at the back of your neck and spread throughout your body. You may feel hot to the touch and experience nausea. They may rob you of sleep and extinguish your sex life. And the effects often extend well beyond the physical. Depending on the severity and frequency, hot flushes can disastrously affect your relationships and home life, your social life and your ability to work. For some, hot flushes may strike dozens of times a day, each ..read more

By Jill Davey When perimenopause arrives, it can turn your world upside down! It’s the first announcement that menopause is on its way, and even if you’re still having your periods, hormonal changes are going on. They can’t be seen, but they certainly can be felt. In a worst-case scenario, hot flushes and night sweats arrive to disrupt your days and make sleep elusive. Fatigue becomes a constant companion and your brain feels wrapped in wet cotton wool. You may become more moody, more volatile . . . even slip into depression. And to make matters worse, the pounds seem to pile on, uninvited, an ..read more

Menopause is made up of three transitions, or let’s call them stages.  Perimenopause Menopause Postmenopause (after menopause) All three have a name because all three exist and each specific ‘pause’ is different.   Perimenopause Perimenopause is the precursor to menopause and marks the beginning of hormonal decline (which will continue to do throughout menopause, and your lifetime), leaving your body in a state of hormonal imbalance. It is the ‘pause’ in which you start feeling change and symptoms arrive. Levels of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, fluctuate dai ..read more

Menopause Woman
by Jill D Davey
3M ago
Not All Hormones Are Prescribed Equally Not all hormone therapies that are prescribed and taken are created equally. HRT and BHRT are two very different therapies. Unfortunately, all hormones in any form are considered a controversial topic. This, of course, would be due to the outcome of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study which was halted ahead of schedule, in 2002, after it was found that HRT (hormone replacement therapy), a combo drug of synthetic oestrogens and progestins commonly known as PremPro, increased the risk of both heart disease and breast cancer. Since the WHI study, both ..read more

The relationship between autoimmune disease and immune resilience. These are very delicate times we are facing, especially with our health. And more specifically, because the coronavirus virus (COVID -19) has hit hard.

Why Are You Not Taking Bioidentical Hormones?
Menopause Woman

3M ago
I often ask myself why every menopausal woman (including perimenopausal and postmenopausal women) isn’t on bioidentical hormones. A therapy known as bioidentical hormone restorative therapy (BHRT). To me, it is a phenomenon that just doesn’t fit. Something is wrong here. I’m perplexed, considering the immense benefits they can give you, both short-term and long-term. Is it because they don’t know enough about this therapy? Is it because they’ve been conned into thinking it is dangerous or that they just don’t work. Of course, they work! Could it be because they have never heard of them before ..read more

I just wanted to touch base and explain a little about our immune system and how important it is to our health. Especially in these difficult times. I actually believe the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been a wakeup call for us all. And maybe, just maybe it has helped us understand who we really are, and not only… Maybe it has also helped us to understand how important a well-functioning body and immune system really is. To have a well-functioning body we need a strong immune system. When we talk about the COVID-19 virus we are entering into uncharted waters, however, many top doctors have sugges ..read more
