It never fails to amaze us how many people talk about their v*gina when they actually may mean v*lva, l*bia, p*rineum or cl*tor*s. Even those of us that feel well educated may not hold enough knowledge about the intimate parts of the body.

This is totally shocking for modern society and we need to change the stigma and learn what our body parts are called and their function.

So for this World Book Day, this is Aly's pick!

It's quite apt really. She bought this book at a visit to a “s*xibition“ in Germany and since then our work group chat is just full of Aly sending us things that look like v*lvas!! 😂

Case and point if you fancy trying to guess what these items are... 🤔✏️

Let’s talk Menopause - An Evening of Insight and Support.

Following the success of last year’s event attended by over 65 members of our community Let’s Talk Menopause is back by popular demand.

There couldn’t be a better time to hold this conversation. As we reflect on International Women’s Day on 8th March and this year’s theme, Give to Gain, we’re bringing the community together to share knowledge, build understanding, and support one another.

The evening will begin with a 45 minute evidence based presentation delivered by Aly Dilks, a British Menopause Society Registered Specialist, covering:

➡️What menopause is and why it happens
➡️Common signs and symptoms
➡️HRT explained clearly
➡️Alternatives and lifestyle support
➡️Common myths and misconceptions

This will be followed by a live Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to ask the expert questions in a supportive and welcoming space.

Whether you are experiencing menopause yourself, post-menopause, wanting to understand what lies ahead, or supporting a partner, family member, friend, or colleague this event is for you.

Menopause affects more than individuals; it impacts families, workplaces, and relationships. That’s why attendees of all genders are welcome.

This free event is delivered in partnership by three local community organisations:

Coop Member Activator Leicestershire and Rutland
Co-op
Simply Menopausal
Cafe Fifty Five

It is designed to inform, empower, and connect.

Booking is essential, as spaces are limited. Join us for an evening of expert insight, open conversation, and community support 👇

Once your period has been absent for more than one year, you're in postmenopause regardless of age! 🤔 However, just because you're now post-menopausal does not mean the symptoms magically disappear or improve - if anything oestrogen can continue to decline, it may just not be as a rapid as the years leading up to the menopause itself.

HRT can be beneficial years after the menopause as it can keep symptoms at bay, balance hormones and has wonderful health benefits. A woman can lose up to 20% of her bone density during the 5-7 years following the menopause and HRT is wonderful in helping keep osteoporosis risk low!

We can discuss all of this in a consultation, so if you need advice, no matter your age, menopause situation or stage - we're here to help!

From age 30–40, men lose roughly 1%–2% of their total testosterone annually. Low T can lead to reduced muscle mass, increasing body fat, fatigue, mood swings, irritability, depression, infertility and erectile dysfunction.

We know it's not an easy subject for men to willingly discuss, but there's easy ways to fix this and bring your A-Game back. 💪

Book in for an Initial Appointment for TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and after a simple blood test, we can begin the process of prescribing and providing testosterone support.

Low testosterone isn't just feeling tired, it's all encompassing. It affects your love life, mental clarity, fat distribution, metabolic rate, mood and yes, even can provide hot flushes! 😩

You can fix this - just a simple blood test can be the easiest way to identify your T levels and we can then help put you back on track.

We are part of the Harley Street TRT network and provide care for men experiencing any of the 30+ symptoms that come with low testosterone.

Do you work for a company that has over 250 employees? Then they need to take action. Menopause Action Plans are becoming a legal requirement in 2027 with 2026 rolling this scheme out.

Simply Menopausal can support businesses who are transitioning into providing these policies, training and healthcare support.

Large employers (those with 250 or more employees) will be required to detail the evidence-based actions they are taking to improve gender equality amongst their employees, including addressing the gender pay gap and supporting women during the menopause.

🥞 Pancakes in menopause? Yes please. You may be adjusting your sugar intake but that doesn't mean missing out! Especially at such a cost effective price!

Homemade beats shop-bought every time 🙌

You choose the size, the toppings, and skip the hidden sugars (shop-bought can have 1–2 tsp sugar per pancake AND cost around £1.75 for 4 unfresh ones 😬).

🍓 Think fruit over sugar:
Add blueberries or raisins to the batter, or top with banana, peaches or berries.

🥚 Protein doesn’t have to be perfect
No need for protein powder. Top with eggs or Greek yoghurt if you want more of a hit and remember, it’s OK if this isn’t a high-protein meal, it is one different meal that's great fun to enjoy with the family and jazzes up a Tuesday!

🥛 Any milk works (just choose calcium-fortified if dairy-free).

🌱 Add seeds for extra fibre and fullness.

💷 Bonus: homemade pancakes cost around 6p each.

And if you go all-in with bacon and maple syrup? Enjoy it. It’s one meal, don't feel guilty for it! 💛🥞

A REALLY common question we get asked. 🎂

HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy and is prescribed to women who are peri-menopausal (the stage before the periods fully stop) to replace the hormones that their ovaries are no longer producing to elevate any symptoms they may be experiencing.

However, HRT also offers long term health benefits if taken for a minimum of 5 years including reducing the risks of osteoporosis (clinically proven), heart disease, dementia, bowel cancer and type 2 diabetes. 👏

For many women this will be around the age of 45. Symptoms of the menopause can appear 10-15 years before you're actually in the menopause itself (12 months without a period) so when these symptoms are no longer something you can manage with other lifestyle changes, this is when it's time to act.

Some people will ask for a blood test to diagnose if they are menopausal. For the majority of women over the age of 45 years, the latest NICE guidelines state that this is not necessary because they can show false negative or positive results.

Therefore, HRT can safely be prescribed to the majority of women over the age of 45, based on symptoms alone.

This is why we provide fully in-depth consultations for women so they can chat through all of their symptoms in order to find the best course of treatment for them, whether it's HRT, lifestyle adjustments or investigating anything else going on. So if you feel like it's time to begin HRT and you'd like to discuss your on-going symptoms, we would love to help you. You are completely entitled to begin HRT if it will help your menopausal related symptoms!

We'd love to know, what age did you start taking HRT? 🙏
