The most inspiring day of learning .
Amazing to see my college buddies Jill and Annemarie . Adored the chats and catch ups, as fellow functional Nutritional Therapists it’s always a joy to chat, laugh and inspire. The learning was inspiring and I will be implementing this into my practice.
Great to see Women’s Health being at the forefront 🙌❤️

Posted • IT’S TIME
Absolutely Adore the wise insightful joyful words from this most fabulous human ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Somewhere, around the middle of every woman’s life, she is hand-delivered a message from the universe itself with vital words scrawled lovingly but emphatically upon it…

“It’s time…

“You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wilder.

There are adventures still waiting on you and this time, you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of hindsight, and you will really let go.

It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life, free of containment and guilt, can bring.”

She will shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit. You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much.

You’ve bought the book, as it were, and worn the t-shirt.

Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried the weight of a burden far too heavy for your shoulders.

“It’s time” she will say.

“Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter. Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead and instead you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.”

She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you and instead of caring what you think of you, that you will experience a new era of your life you never dreamed possible.

‘It’s time’ she will say…

“to write the ending, or new beginning, of your own story.”

Congratulations🥰🥰• 🚨 So excited to announce ‘CARE - Cutting Alzheimer’s Risk with Endocrinology’, a new $50 million research program funded by Wellcome Leap, entirely dedicated to women’s brain health! 🚨

If you’re familiar with my work, you know women are facing a major challenge— Alzheimer’s disease:

🧠 Being a woman is a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s.
🧠 Women make up nearly two-thirds of all Alzheimer’s patients, with postmenopausal women comprising the majority.
🧠 A 45-year-old woman has a 20% chance of developing Alzheimer’s in her lifetime—double the risk of a man the same age.
🧠 For decades, this was dismissed with “women live longer than men, and that’s it.”

Today, we know better.

We’ve established that Alzheimer’s isn’t a disease of old age— it’s a disease of midlife with symptoms that appear in old age.

We also know that midlife endocrine (hormonal) aging is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s and menopause is a window of vulnerability, with implications for both early detection and prevention.

But there’s much we don’t know:

Menopause doesn’t cause Alzheimer’s- it increases risk. So who’s at greater risk? Does estrogen therapy reduce risk? Who’s more likely to benefit? What about women who can’t take hormones? How about those with hysterectomy, or breast cancer survivors?

With CARE, our mission is ambitious:
🌍 Halve the lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s for all women.
🌍 Reduce risk for an estimated 330M women globally.
🌍 Potentially prevent 54.5M cases of Alzheimer’s by 2050.

CARE focuses on identifying the hormonal aging pathways behind Alzheimer’s risk in women and developing prevention strategies that work *for women*. The program is also a commitment to addressing the historic dismissal of women in medicine—because we CARE.

We really owe women centuries of research.

📣CALLING ALL SCIENTISTS: We are assembling and FUNDING a global team to achieve what none of us could accomplish alone. Interested? The Program Announcement is in my bio + stories.

📣CALLING ALL WOMEN: Help us spread the word! Share this post, tag someone who should know, join us in changing the future of women’s brain health.

Feeling a bit out of sync since beginning your HRT journey?

Estrogen our Queen of hormones 👑
When functioning properly, estrogen, a vital female hormone produced primarily in the ovaries, plays an essential role in regulating menstruation, enhancing mood, and maintaining bone health. Whilst the addition of this vital hormone should be an immediate benefit for most it can take a while to get it just right.
Hormones whether our own or those that we are taking need to be balanced correctly so that we can feel like ourselves.
⚖️When the balance between estrogen and progesterone is tipped in favor of estrogen, it can lead to numerous health problems. Seems contradictory at this stage when our estrogen levels are declining.
But so too are our progesterone levels, in fact this is actually the first hormone that we experience a huge decrease in production.
It’s a minefield, and that’s where my expertise comes in.
💌My February newsletter will discuss all these nuances that we might experience and strategies you can incorporate to support yourself so that you can feel like yourself again.

Link in bio to sign up to newsletter full of essential information!

Like, share and follow for all the latest updates.
Stay Fabulous,

Norma 🥰
