💜 At TMC, we feel incredibly fortunate…

To be working at a time where so many passionate clinicians are coming together to educate, collaborate, and reduce the health inequalities women continue to face.

On Friday, our Clinical Lead Director, Dr Joanne Hobson, attended the National Association of Premenstrual Syndromes Conference in Leeds on Friday, before heading straight to Cambridge for the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine conference on Saturday.

✨ With over 40 years of clinical experience, Dr Hobson continues to learn, evolve and seek out new knowledge, all to ensure women receive the best possible, evidence-based care.

Because too often, women are told:
❌ “It’s just part of being a woman”
❌ “It’s normal”

➡️ It’s not.

Every woman deserves to feel:
✔ Heard
✔ Understood
✔ Properly supported

That’s why we are expanding our FREE online resource centre — giving you access to:
📚 Evidence-based articles
👩‍⚕️ Trusted expert recommendations
💡 Clear, reliable guidance

🌿 Menopause care is evolving.

With the news that Fezolinetant has now been approved for prescribing on the NHS, an important question is being highlighted:

❓ What options exist for women who cannot or choose not to take MHT/HRT?

While MHT/HRT remains an effective treatment for many women, it isn’t the right option for everyone.

Some women may have medical contraindications, while others simply prefer a non-hormonal approach.

Encouragingly, menopause treatment has advanced in recent years. We now have more evidence-based treatment options than ever before, allowing clinicians to create truly personalised menopause care plans.

At TMC, providing women with individualised treatment pathways and informed choice is central to everything we do.

❓ What if menopause treatment wasn’t just about hormones?

Not every woman can or wants to use hormone replacement therapy.

So what are the REAL alternatives?

Here’s what the evidence actually says 👇

✔️ Lifestyle is still powerful — exercise, sleep optimisation and cardiovascular health form the foundation of symptom control.

✔️ CBT and mind-body approaches can reduce hot flush distress, anxiety and sleep disruption.

✔️ SSRIs, SNRIs and gabapentin are evidence-based non-hormonal medication options for vasomotor symptoms.

✔️ Breakthrough treatments like NK3 receptor antagonists (including Fezolinetant) work directly on the brain’s temperature regulation centre.

✔️ Individualised, evidence-based care is the future of safe menopause management.

This is not about “natural vs medical.”
It’s about informed choice, clinical safety and personalised care.

Dr Puja Nanda, Menopause Support Advisor at TMC Online explains If your periods have suddenly become heavier, longer, flooding, clotting, or completely unpredictable…
this is your sign to stop normalising it!

During perimenopause, fluctuating hormones can cause significant changes to bleeding patterns.
Common causes include:
• Progesterone imbalance
• Irregular or absent ovulation
• Fibroids or structural changes
• Hormonal instability

But here’s what matters most:

🩺 Heavy bleeding should always be assessed.
📊 Tracking your cycle and symptoms gives clinicians valuable insight.
💬 You deserve to understand why it’s happening — not just be told “it’s your age.”

If bleeding is affecting your energy, work, sleep, confidence or daily life, it’s time to seek personalised, evidence-based support.

Perimenopause is common.
Suffering through it is not mandatory. 💜

🌍 A Christmas gift helped restore part of a rainforest.

But that wasn’t the original plan.

At TMC, The Menopause Consortium, we were deciding what to give our team for Christmas.

The usual ideas came up…

🎁 Gift hampers
💳 Vouchers
🛍 Corporate merchandise

But then we asked ourselves a different question:

What if we gave something that lasted longer than Christmas?

So we did something a little different.

We planted 50 trees in a rainforest restoration project in Madagascar and gifted one to every member of our team. 🌳

A small gesture, but one that felt truly meaningful.

Because at TMC, while our work focuses on health and wellbeing for women, we also believe that responsibility extends beyond our clinics and education programmes.

Over the past year we’ve also made changes across the organisation to reduce our environmental footprint:

📄 Stopping unnecessary printing
💻 Moving almost entirely to digital communication
✈️ Reducing travel by prioritising virtual meetings

Together with our tree planting initiative, this has helped contribute to offsetting over 45,000 tonnes of CO₂.

And we’re continuing the journey.

After our Women’s Health Summit in May, we will plant another 50 trees to help offset the carbon footprint of the event.

It feels especially meaningful following International Women’s Day 2026 and the “Give to Gain” campaign, a reminder that giving back creates positive change.

We are not claiming to have all the answers.

But we do believe that businesses should try to make a difference where they can.

Sometimes the smallest ideas grow into something bigger. 🌱
