​

All of a sudden your legs are feeling heavy, you've been tired more than usual, sex is starting to be come a wee bit uncomfortable and you're running to the loo more often.

 I've heard it said..." it doesn't seem to be affecting me much", then lo and behold a bit further down the road, (remember depleting hormones don't suddenly regenerate), those pesky niggles add up.

​

This is a life-long process and you will need to be aware, the body is aging therefore, taking measures can prepare us to lead a longer healthier life. You might not get away symptom free forever!

How will  the run up to menopause affect you psychologically and emotionally? From your late 30's into your 40's you may well experience changes to your emotions and mood. This is a result of depleting estrogen affecting the chemicals in the brain.

 

Your confidence might be starting to dip, you might question your worth and value. You might even find difficulty in managing your emotions; feeling emptiness which can happen when your kids begin to 'flee the nest'. You may struggle to excited, your enthusiasm  may wane, you may become less sociable.

Brain Fog may starts to kick  in and you may become more forgetful than usual. You may also experience tearfulness, hopelessness or anger as depleting hormones take effect.

​

These symptoms, heading to the onset of menopause (peri-menopause) can be confusing and can begin up to 10 years before. Emotions can swing one way then another. Having a greater understanding of what's going on in your brain chemistry is vital at this time.

​

Don't let your relationships suffer and also don't allow yourself to suffer in silence. It makes such a difference when you know why your moods are low and why you may be feeling like this.

Gaining an insight really helps you to put things into perspective and allows you to put measures in place to alleviate these symptoms. Having a greater understanding makes it easier all round!

 

This session is a must for everyone looking to maintain a positive healthy mindset into midlife and beyond.

Put your hormones in the drivers seat - becoming more aware of what you eat has an impact in the fueling of your body and brain.

 

Hormones are fundamental chemical messengers in our bodies, influencing behaviour, emotions, brain chemicals and the immune system.  How our body changes food into energy is important. Hormone balance can impact almost every cell in the body.

To maintain optimal health, this session will focus on the balance of multiple hormones together, viewing hormone health holistically.

 

We will concentrate on four key hormones: cortisol, estrogen, insulin and thyroid, which significantly affect our brains, bodies, weight, and stress levels during menopause. The gut microbiome also affects the body from the moment you are born as this controls the digestion of food.  It affects our immune systems, central nervous systems and other bodily processes, including producing hormones.

​

Sedentary lifestyles actually put more stress on the body, thus reducing the circulation of oxygen and nutrients. This slows the metabolism and increases fat storage.

 

This session explores why eating well and exercising is important. This doesn't have to mean spending hours in the gym, we look at ways we can have the benefits of good health without killing ourselves in the process.

In this session we look in a bit more depth at the symptoms of peri/menopause. Often, as hormones deplete, subtle signs can begin to make us feel uncomfortable. These are often mistaken for tiredness, sleep (or lack of) or sometimes stress.

 

This Information Session explores in a bit more depth how the  symptoms creeping in can affect us, without us even realising! 

 

Are you, or someone you know suffering from headaches, odd aches and pains, feeling more anxious than usual, wakened more than you're sleeping? Just poor sleep alone can lead to difficulty in everyday areas of our lives. Coping with and juggling the demands of kids along with caring duties, keeping house, as well as having to meet deadlines at work can be a nightmare! 

A trillion things to think about, which builds anxiety and can be overwhelming, leading to potential  burnout.

 

Preparation and planning  for this stage is crucial and having support from partners, husbands, friends, colleagues and bosses can really make a difference too.

​

This session could be life - saving, relationship-saving and

career - saving.​ Take it from me, I wish I knew back then!

​

Employers - Help  to keep sanity and serenity at work, and more importantly, support your female colleagues in their workplace and careers.
