The Menopause (and the lesser known Peri-Menopause) Coming to a Female near you! Free Training - Suitable for anyone over the age of 18!

World Menopause day is taking place on Monday the 18th of October and to acknowledge this I thought I’d share some fantastic free training on offer for both men and women from the Menopause Experts and I have also been asked for an update on my progress with the HRT. Before I launch into my ‘tell all’ on HRT, I thought I’d give you a reminder of who I am, in case you haven’t read my previous blogs. My name is Zoe, I am 45 and have a 5-year-old son. I am what is affectionally termed in the medical trade...

HRT and Me - Has it made any real difference?

HRT and Me - Has it made any real difference?

Since writing my recent blog: 10 things I wish i’d known about the Perimenopause as an ‘older mum’! (you are not losing your mind!) and receiving such an overwhelming response I thought I’d follow it up with the other question I have been asked ‘Has HRT made a difference yet? And more recent sequel, looking at natural alternatives: Oh my Menopause.....What I've tried, what's worked and what I wouldn't waste time with!  As HRT is not something I expected to be taking this early in life ( I still don't feel middle aged), so I thought I’d keep a diary a kind...

10 things I wish i’d known about the Perimenopause as an ‘older mum’! (you are not losing your mind!)

(Just a quick update (08.10.24) on this Blog, since Louise Newson the author has been 'outed' on Panorama for dubious practices. Whilst I agree over prescribing Oestrogen is not acceptable especially to those patients who are prone to certain types of Cancer (and fibroids as it turns out) I have reread the book and I still agree with the advice in it!) Recently I was given a book by my mum entitled ‘Preparing for the Perimenopause and Menopause’ by Dr Louise Newson which sat on a shelf gathering dust for a month or so until I gave in and thought I better educate myself....

What is meant by Homeostasis in the body and how can CBD help to maintain this balance?

What is meant by Homeostasis in the body and how can CBD help to maintain this balance?

Why is Homeostasis crucial for our bodies balance? Homeostasis, as currently defined, is 'a self-regulating process by which biological systems maintain stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.' The “stability” or balance that the organism reaches is rarely around an exact point (such as the idealised human body temperature of 37 °C [98.6 °F]). Almost all living organisms widely exhibit homeostasis or a level of balance. It is constantly happening which is almost impossible to find any organism that does not perform it. The following are just a few examples from the human body and our ecosystems. 1. Maintenance of Body Temperature 2....

We need to talk about Psychedelics....

We need to talk about Psychedelics....

From legitimate medication in the 60's to a party drug in the 70's psychedelics  similar to Cannabis, have received a bad rep! However it would appear that with the legalisations of Psychedelic 'treatment' in many states in the US and the growing public interest in the UK for mental health treatment it is looking like they are making returning as a legitimate form of treatment (although we are loathed to say this!) so lets stick with therapy.If you have an interest in this area and haven't yet seen the recent BBC2 programme 'Psychedelics - The Drug Trail' then we can highly recommend it. Along with Fantastic Fungi on Netflix.If your interested but...
