A GP led menopause and women’s health clinic for all women

🎨This exquisite painting by Gustav Klimt from 1905 is a familiar image gracing walls and greeting cards alike. It is the epitome of the ‘ideal female’- calm, maternal & youthful.

🎨Hera’s amazing Dr Hannah discovered that this painting is actually titled ‘The Three Ages of Woman,’ and so went searching for the THIRD woman (you can see a little of her hair in the left of the painting).

🖼️ Swipe to see the painting in its entirety, and you can see that the older (post menopausal) woman, devoid of hormones, kyphotic and depressed has been completely left out of the picture!!!

🎨We pondered over the fact that society has only revered women in their reproductive years and beyond that she had little use.

🎨Now, we spend 30+ years post menopause and with the right education and support (and hormones) women FLOURISH becoming strong, wise, and self assured. This is often their BEST chapter! 🌟

(We wondered what he may have painted should he have added the ‘Perimenopausal woman’ but probably Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’ captures it perfectly !!) 😱

☠️Until this week all Estrogen containing HRT products have had black box warnings inside them much like a cigarette packet (ridiculous and wrong!) ▪️

☠️A result of the fallout from the misinterpreted WHI study, 23 YEARS have passed with no amendment to the information women have been provided.

☠️These outdated warnings have totally perpetuated the FEAR around HRT

☠️The USA has paved the way with a landmark decision this week to REMOVE these warnings l. Thanks to brave legends such as & 🧡

☠️ Modern HRT is BODY- IDENTICAL, low risk and most women can take it as long as the benefits outweigh the risks ie FOREVER

☠️ The TGA in Australia needs to follow suit and remove these warnings ASAP. Australian women deserve this too!

☠️Once again has come to the rescue!!
Sign the petition here to get Australia up to speed and remove the fear.

As our mates put it so eloquently: ‘because informed women don’t need warnings!’ 😮‍💨

.. Well, this recent Observational Study blew our minds a little 🧠

☘️ “A new international study led Prof Emer McGrath at the University of Galway has found that entering menopause at an earlier age is associated with an increased risk of dementia.

The research also showed that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after menopause appears to be associated with a reduced risk of dementia.

The findings have been published today in the Journal for Alzheimer’s Disease.

The research team from University of Galway and Boston University carried out the study with 1,329 cognitively healthy women from The Framingham Heart Study - the world’s longest running longitudinal cohort study - to analyse the association between reproductive factors and markers of brain aging.

It found:

🧠Entering menopause at an earlier age is associated with an increased risk of dementia.
🧠HRT after menopause appears to be associated with a reduced risk of dementia.
🧠Greater exposure to estrogen over the reproductive lifespan was associated with enhanced cognitive performance and larger brain volumes.
🧠Having more children, higher blood oestrogen levels and being older at the time of menopause were also associated with better cognitive test performance, specifically better visuospatial skills - the ability to perceive, analyse and mentally manipulate visual and spatial information.”
. but perhaps we have already known this.

The more research on women’s brains.. the BETTER 🧡

🥳 On Hera’s SECOND birthday we celebrate the fact that each woman is her own unique recipe!

(nb We include all those born with ovaries 🥚)

🎂We delight in finding the right ‘mix’ so our patients can be the best versions of themselves.

🍰We know that Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone are all essential parts of the female physiology lost through the process of menopause & ageing

🍰ESTROGEN is like the cake itself, the substance and structure. It is the building block to brain chemistry, bones,soft tissues, blood vessels, heart & gut health

🍰PROGESTERONE is like the filling between the layers which softens and calms. It gives stability to the uterine lining.

🍰TESTOSTERONE is like the icing on top, sweet, zingy and bright. It gives colour and zest.

🎂Each person needs the right amount of one or all of the hormones in the correct balance to function optimally. (A few don’t need any..)
🎂We know there is GREAT individual variability in how we absorb things through our skin and gut.
🎂There are many different options and combinations available to us.
🎂It can take years to perfect the right recipe for some women. (They are finely tuned gourmet offerings!) Be patient in the process ..no quick fixes here!

🍰Some are perfectly happy with a ‘packet mix’ (lucky them!)
🍰Others need extra additions to their cake (the sprinkles, the nuts/the fruit etc) These might included specific dietary supplements/other medications/ weight loss supports) to get them just ‘right.’

🍰Not everyone loves icing..Not everyone loves filling..Not everyone loves cake (but we reckon it’s pretty essential to any
table).Some people ONLY want the icing or the filling!

😱(Worse still - when we all love cake but there happens to be darn cake shortage!!!)

🧡Your input is essential to finding the right recipe with your clinician’s support. YOU are the expert of your own body!
