Menopause with Grace

Ireland, I could kiss ya! 💋 The Irish Government just dropped the best news —Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) will be FREE for all women starting January 2025. 🎉 Who's running their PR? Because they nailed the timing - World Menopause Day’s theme just happens to be MHT (Menopausal Hormonal Therapy)! 👏 Now, here’s a thought: should Australia follow suit? What do you think? https://lnkd.in/g5sat6CQ #HRT #WorldMenopauseMonth #HormoneReplacementTherapy

Did you know that 1 in 4 Australian working women retire before the age of 55? As a 51-year-old, that’s pretty shocking! Another massive shout-out to Larissa Walters Walters for shining a light on this issue and pushing it in front of the government. They've got three months to respond to the Senate’s report… so now, we wait! ⏳ https://lnkd.in/gE85XKsn #SenateInquiryIntoMenopause #LarissaWalters #MenopauseAwareness

In the spirit of Menopause Month and World Menopause Day's focus on MHT (Menopause Hormone Therapy), I had to share this! I completely agree with Professor Jayashri Kulkarni: it’s time to stop going in circles and asking the wrong questions. Let’s ensure effective treatment is available for women who are struggling, while allowing those who are fine to just get on with it! https://lnkd.in/gukz2twh #Menopause Awareness #MenopauseMonth #WorldMenopauseDay

🚨 Exciting news alert! 🎉 A brand new health clinic is opening in Victoria this month, and it’s set to revolutionise the menopause experience! 💪 Say hello to Menopause Health Geelong, founded by the incredible Dr Elise Davey and Dr. Yvonne McCartney, who truly understand the need for personalised care for women in peri, post, and menopause. Not in Victoria? Not a problem! They offer Telehealth services and a range of specialised support available. Let’s give them a warm welcome and a big shout-out! https://lnkd.in/gbmngNEP 👩⚕️✨ #MenopauseHealthGeelong #MenopauseSupport #MenopauseAwareness

Ugh, just when I thought I had weight management figured out, menopause decided to throw me a major curveball – the "can't-fit-into-my-pants" kind! 😱 Nope, this isn’t the slow, sneaky weight gain; it’s the “book a holiday, gain 5 kilos overnight” type. So much for getting my revenge body back! Turns out, caffeine, fasting, and cardio workouts (yes, the very things I’ve been relying on) are sabotaging my bikini body. If you’re in the same boat, dive into my newsletter this month for a closer look at weight management and what cortisol is really up to in your body.

Thank the menopause gods for this year's World Menopause Day theme: MHT (Menopause Hormone Therapy, or HRT, as we affectionately call it). It’s the hottest topic out there, but let’s be real – there’s more misinformation around it than cocktails at happy hour. As I sit here, eagerly waiting for my HRT patches to arrive, I can honestly say hormone replacement therapy has worked wonders for me. But it hasn’t been smooth sailing. Far from it! I’ve had my fair share of HRT doozies, but it hasn’t deterred me from channelling my inner Goldilocks and experimenting ‘til I found the combo that was juuuust riiiight. With all the conflicting information out there, it’s tough to know who to trust. A good GP is a must, but I’ve also compiled some fantastic, credible resources on HRT, menopause, and everything in between on my website. Wanna avoid the guesswork? Check ‘em out on the Resources page of my website – just scroll to the bottom! https://lnkd.in/gUK9RxBc #WorldMenopauseDay #HRT #MenopauseHormoneTherapy

Confession time: I’ve been feeling burnt out for months—work pressure, managing the kiddos, and dealing with menopause symptoms 😅 October is Mental Health Month, and this year’s theme is “Let’s Talk About It.” 🗣️ So, I took the plunge and chatted with my (amazing) boss, who encouraged me to take a long weekend for some much-needed “me-time.” Had I not spoken up, I would’ve spiraled out of control, and my health and work would’ve suffered. I know I’m lucky to have that support, but not everyone does. That’s why I created Menopause with Grace. If you’re feeling overwhelmed this month, my inbox is always open! I may not have all the answers, but I can help point you in the right direction.
