MENOPAUSE, PERIMENOPAUSE
and all the CRAP that goes along with it.
Jump on board the menopause train ladies and uterus holders! Buckle up and prepare for a WILD ride where you will be ignored, dismissed, gaslit and mansplained to.
Are you ready?
Picture this.. one morning you wake up, after a truly crappy sleep (thanks to drenching sweats, hot flushes that mean doona off/doona on/doona off/doona on allllll night AND sudden and inexplicable anxious rumination) to find:
you magically have joint pain
you nearly fall over as you stand up because #dizzy
you forgot your pet’s name #brainfog
you can’t zip up your pants because you have gained a 5 kg muffin-top overnight
your heart starts racing and palpitations make it seem it will fly out of your chest
you throw your phone on the floor because #everythingsucks and really, you may want to hit something #irritable AF
you have absolutely no chill whatsoever and your tolerance for anyone’s bulls*%t is zero
your sex-drive tanks and you need to pee every 3 minutes.
HOT FLUSHES & NIGHT SWEATS?
Yep, Chinese medicine can help reduce these.

GUT ISSUES?
Functional gut disorders? Chinese medicine says YES to the #HappyTummy
HEART HEALTH
I feel like we might be bragging now, because yep. You guessed it, we can assist here too. #BloodPressure #Arrythmia
Skin condition.. Blood sugar. Sex drive. Urinary health. Metabolism… shall we continue??
HRT, or as it is now known, MHT (menopausal hormone therapy), like ALL medical interventions (acupuncture included), has benefits and risks for each individual, and this is most definitely a conversation you must have with your GP, about whether this is right for you. For the love of all that is good, please, do not rely on social media influencers for advice. MHT can be a complete lifesaver for so many women. #AskTheDoctor.
