Just spending some time chilling with my legs in the sun and poodle cuddles after a really amazing night listening to night at MEDICAL - LASER & AESTHETICS Bloom Beyond Perimenopause and menopause event. I’ve got lots of great things to say about the things we chatted about, but first. Rest.

There’s been lots of flu, gastro and other illnesses going around at the moment.

During Covid, an online doctor gave me some really important health advice for overcoming viral illness - aggressive rest. As a busy person, it’s one of the most difficult therapies I’ve ever been prescribed, but boy, is it beneficial!

Aggressive rest - it’s poodle approved ✅🐩

At the turn of the century when I had fully functioning hormones, with my mum who in this photo is exactly the same age as I am now.

The work I do in the perimenopause/menopause clinic is in part because of the difficult time my mum had during her own perimenopause/menopause and the extraordinary difference hormone therapy made in her life - it was literally life changing for her, in a time when very few doctors were prescribing hormone therapy, when nobody was talking about perimenopause or menopause as major life changing health events, and everyone was terrified of hormone therapy and breast cancer due to one large, poorly designed study (something we’re still trying to address).

I’ve had patients in the past tell me that they’re not sure if they believe that perimenopause exists, that it’s just a new thing that has been blown out of proportion because of social media. I can confidently tell patients that it’s certainly real, and that it’s absolutely not new, regardless of the big push from social media. I lived it through my mother’s experience (and now my own), back in the late 1900’s! 😉🩷

The problem with being a midwife…
This sculptural artwork is called “water and the river landscape” by Anderson Hunt, it’s located in Stanley st in Wodonga. I think it represents the underside of boats in the water. But if you’re a midwife, please tell me I’m not alone - tell me what you see…

From a recent post by Mary Claire Haver, MD | Menopause

In the clinic, we discuss exercise. By the time most women make it to their first consult (they have usually been through quite a bit before this), they are completely exhausted, not sleeping well, running on fumes and have a lot of joint and muscle pain. Exercise is the last thing women feel like doing, but they know they should. Enter the humble walk 🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏾‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏿‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️

Amazing for metabolic and mental health. If you can do anything for yourself, get your runners on and go for a walk. We can work out the rest once you’re sleeping well and have some spark back ✨💫
