Menopause & Me

14/10/2026

You can have no hot flushes at all and still be in perimenopause. 🔥

World Menopause Day is this Sunday. Before it arrives, here is what often gets missed.

Broken sleep. A shorter fuse. Brain fog that makes you lose your words mid sentence. And a feeling that everything takes more effort than it used to.

These are real, and they are often linked to the hormone changes of perimenopause and menopause. If you are not having hot flushes, it does not mean what you feel is unconnected.

If any of this sounds familiar, book a telehealth appointment through the link in bio.

Some weeks, the strongest thing you can do is ask for help. 💚

World Mental Health Day was on 10 October. I am a few days late, but better late than never, because this matters too much to skip.

It is okay to reach out, whether that is to a friend, a family member, your GP or a mental health professional. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

This conversation does not belong to one day of the year.

If you need support, Lifeline is available any time on 13 11 14.

Share this with someone who might need the reminder.

Half the population goes through it, and we still lower our voices to talk about it.

Menopause is not a medical failure. It is not something that happened because you did not look after yourself. It is a normal stage of life that every woman who lives long enough will reach.

What is not normal is being expected to get through it quietly, with no information and no support.

Talk about it at work. Talk about it with your partner. Talk about it with your daughters, so they are not blindsided the way we were.

You deserve to have this conversation out loud.

Book a consult through the link in bio when you are ready to have it with someone who will listen.

3am. Sheets soaked. Heart going. Wide awake for the third night this week.

Then up at seven to be a functioning person about it.

Night sweats are not just an inconvenient warm patch. They fracture your sleep, and broken sleep drives a lot of what comes next. The fog. The short fuse. The feeling that you have lost yourself somewhere.

This is a hormonal shift, not a personal failing. It is also treatable.

Book a consult through the link in bio and let's talk about what is actually going on.

Ticking four or five of these is not a coincidence.

Night sweats. Brain fog. Joint pain. No libido. Mood that swings without warning. Sleep that breaks at 3am and will not come back.

One at a time, they each get explained away. Stress. Work. Age. Being busy.

Together they are a pattern, and patterns are worth investigating properly.

You deserve more than "your bloods are normal."

Book a consult through the link in bio and we will go through the whole list.

Awareness is the easy part.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, and plenty of women can already name their symptoms by now. What they cannot always find is someone with the time to explain what those symptoms mean, and what the evidence based options actually are.

That gap is the reason this clinic exists.

All through October we will be working through the real questions. Hormone testing. HRT myths. What individualised treatment looks like in practice.

You deserve clear information, not a shrug.

Irregular periods are the sign everyone knows to look for.

They are also often the last one to arrive.

Before that: sleep that breaks at 3am, a short fuse, joint aches, brain fog, anxiety that was never there before. Years of it sometimes, while the calendar still looks completely normal.

Which is how so many women end up being told they are too young for this.

Recognising the early pattern is what gets you to a plan sooner.

Look who's at Complete Care Pharmacy Rosny Park.

I've teamed up with fellow Nurse Practitioner Kris, and we're now seeing patients in person, Monday to Friday, for the everyday things. The sore throat that won't shift. The wound that needs a proper look. The certificate for work. The repeat script.

If you're a Menopause & Me patient, nothing changes for you. This is the other part of my working week, the everyday care I've always done, now with its own home. My Menopause & Me hours stay exactly as they are.

It's called My Health & Me, and it's for anyone who needs to be seen, not just women in menopause.

In person at Rosny Park and Telehealth Australia-wide.

Follow along at My Health & Me ❤️

Episodic care means the everyday things. A sore throat that will not shift. A wound that needs a proper look. A certificate for work. A repeat script. A rash that is not settling.
