We’re not trying to deny you care when we refuse to test your hormones.

We’re practicing evidence based care.

I know you just want answers. And to feel better.

But for the vast majority of women in perimenopause, testing your hormones isn’t going to:

1. Tell us whether your in perimenopause (it’s a clinical diagnosis based on your symptoms)

2. Help us take better care of you. A good conversation is better at assessing your perimenopause status than a blood test if you’ve over the age of 45.

3. Necessary or helpful to decide if you should start MHT (menopause hormone therapy).

Please save your money. And if you’re not getting the care you need or want, visit website to find a Menopause Certified practitioner near you.

👻 A haunted house… but make it health misinformation edition.

From “your brain will melt in menopause” to “you’re full of parasites” to “seed oils are killing you” — the internet is FULL of fear-based wellness advice.

It’s wild how much of what’s out there is designed to scare you into buying something, instead of helping you actually feel better.

So this Halloween, I thought I’d bring you a few of the scariest haunted houses I’ve seen online lately — because sometimes the fear-mongering is the real horror story. 🩸

👉 Share this post and tell me:
Which one is your scariest haunted house?

I’m Spending 2 days learning the most up to date menopause care with

And one of the key takeaways from today is that very few women CAN’T take menopause hormone therapy but lots of women THINK they can’t take it because of persistent misinformation.

If you want to hear more about who is and is not a good candidate for menopause hormone therapy, comment “EP8” and I’ll send you the link to my conversation with gynaecologist and menopause expert .a.piper

Most women think burnout is only about doing too much.

But there’s another type you might not know about and it’s just as exhausting.

It’s called under-challenged burnout.

It happens when your work is monotonous, under-stimulating, and offers no real sense of growth or reward.

Instead of feeling stressed and overworked, you feel… bored.

Indifferent.

Like your motivation has slowly drained away.

You might notice yourself:

➡️ Feeling cynical about your work

➡️ Using distraction as a coping mechanism (hello, endless scrolling)

➡️ Fantasizing about changing jobs but not taking action

If this sounds familiar, you’re not lazy — your brain is starved for stimulation and purpose.

I talk all about this type of burnout and how to spot it in my conversation on the Not Working Right Now podcast.

💬 Comment “burnout” and I’ll send you the link to the episode

✨ The more you learn to listen to your body, the easier it gets to tell the difference.

Is this physical exhaustion that calls for rest?

Or soul-level fatigue that needs inspiration, connection, and meaning?

Most of us were taught to push through or power down—but rarely how to tune in.

Your body is always talking.
You just need to learn how to listen.

If you’re tired today, what is your body asking for? Rest or soul stirring?

They might look like motivation…

But they’re actually stalling your progress.

Especially when it comes to weight loss.

Because here’s what those emotions often lead to:

🔁 All-or-nothing thinking
🔁 Catastrophizing (one cookie = total failure)
🔁 Binge/restrict cycles
🔁 Overgeneralizing (“I’ll always be like this”)

And when you’re already tired, stretched thin, and trying your best — that cycle is exhausting.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need less self-punishment.

You don’t need to “try harder.”
You need a system that isn’t fuelled by you hating yourself or your body.

What if your extra weight isn’t the problem — but the way you talk to yourself about it is?

💭Bloated? Before you cut out gluten, dairy, or half your fridge… try this.

So many women I work with assume their bloating must be caused by food sensitivities. But more often than not, it’s how they’re eating that’s the issue — not what.

Eating too fast.
Eating while stressed.
Eating in the car between meetings or pickups.

All of these shut down digestion and make bloating worse.

In today’s post, I’m sharing 4 simple (but powerful!) tips to help you reduce bloating before you try an elimination diet.

👉 Start here.

Then comment EP30 and I’ll send you my podcast episode that dives deeper into this topic.

Ever look at your schedule and wonder how you’re checking all the boxes… and yet still feel kind of meh?

We’ve been taught to equate productivity with purpose. But a life that’s full of to-do’s isn’t the same as a life that’s fills you up.

✨ Full life ≠ fulfilling life.
✨ Don’t just fill your days. Fuel them.

👇 Tell me in the comments:
What’s one thing that fills you up, even if it doesn’t look “productive” on paper?

I’ll go first: puzzles, live music, being near any body of water.
