She was beautiful… but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful deep down to her soul.

Health is never just about biochemistry.

It’s biochemical, psycho-emotional, and social.

I studied person-centered counselling, and I’m a trauma-informed health and wellness mentor.

What I know for certain is this: you cannot truly help heal someone without addressing their story, their relationships, their self-talk, and the way their social world impacts their body.

If a doctor doesn’t ask about your life, or give you space to share it, they may miss the root of what’s going on.

✨ Our thoughts shape our biochemistry.
✨ Our self-talk shapes our nervous system.
✨ Our social world shapes our health.

So I ask my patients: “What do you want for your one precious life?”

Most will say things like: “I want the life of my dreams. I want travel, freedom, a yacht.” But you could have all of those things and still be a hot, anxious mess.

The real question is: How do you want to feel in your life?
Grounded? Peaceful? At ease? Calm?

Because when you know how you want to feel, you have a compass. Every decision—big or small—can be measured against it. If it brings you closer to those feelings, it’s a YES. If it doesn’t, it’s a NO.

It really is that simple.

Let’s talk about progesterone, because when women hear what she does, most will instantly recognise themselves in the deficiency.

✨ Progesterone is Anti-Anxiety , cool, calm, collected. She’s anti-inflammatory, fluid-balancing, and soothing to both body and mind.

When progesterone is low, the signs are often written all over your body:

• Puffy, inflamed face (not weight, but fluid + inflammation)
• Rings too tight, sock lines at the end of the day
• Waking through the night to p*e
• A sense of “puffiness” that won’t shift

Why? Because progesterone acts as a natural diuretic—helping you release excess fluid. Without it, your body holds on.

And here’s something most women are never told: progesterone isn’t just for your cycle. It can also support vaginal and vulval health. For decades, medicine rushed forward with estrogen creams, but forgot about progesterone. Yet in perimenopause—when oestrogen excess is already common, why add more estrogen?

Progesterone deserves her place at the table. She’s the hormone that brings calm, reduces inflammation, balances fluids, and supports tissues in ways we’re only just beginning to re-recognise.
