This year’s theme is lifestyle medicine - managing the transition holistically.
This is a photo of me with my friend and menopause health coach and Dr Hilary (from the telly) at the Menopause Show, Pause live, last weekend. It was a great event and I enjoyed chatting to fellow passionate small business owners - my favourite being Mother Cuppa Tea - what a fab name, great founders, and the 4 herbal tea blends were really delicious. I chose Energise for its hibiscus taste, and Relax for the apple and cinnamon flavour.
I also chatted to Gesa (www.theCGMrevolution.co.uk) about midlife belly fat and blood sugar balancing, attended a talk on ADHD in Menopause and listened to a panel of men talking menopause.
I think it’s so important for men to have public conversations about the menopause transition - not forgetting that men have a midlife transition too called andropause (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mood swings, loss of muscle mass, and an increase in body fat) - they just don’t have a Davina McCall blowing open the conversation yet. Check out Joe Sealey for some laughs on TikTok or James Davis on LinkedIn, author of the Male Midlife Handbook.
It was clear to see how many products and services are available to help us holistically through any menopausal symptoms. But sometimes there’s just too much choice. What to do, what to spend money on, what can you do for free? Do you focus on alleviating hot flushes, or improving nutrition, reducing stress and anxiety etc?
The good news is I can help. As a Menopause Yoga Specialist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner with a whole network of holistic colleagues and menopause specialist doctors, I am very happy to have a 121 discovery call or coffee, to guide you to the solutions that feel right for you. It’s all about making life easier and more enjoyable, right?

Looking forward to that coffee (or herbal tea) with you 😊
