🧪 Science Sunday 👩🏽‍🔬

Postpartum hair loss is a common physiological change after pregnancy.

Research suggests around 40–50% of women experience noticeable hair shedding after birth, often beginning 2–4 months postpartum.
During pregnancy, higher oestrogen levels keep more hair in the growth phase. After birth, hormone levels fall rapidly, pushing many hairs into the shedding phase at the same time — a process known as postpartum telogen effluvium.
While the amount of hair loss can feel alarming, it is usually temporary, with most people seeing improvement within 6–12 months.

If hair loss feels excessive or persists longer, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional to assess underlying factors.

🗓️ Cycle tracking is a simple practice that can provide valuable insight into reproductive health.

By tracking menstrual cycles and associated symptoms, individuals may better understand patterns in their bodies, identify ovulation, and recognise changes that may be important to discuss with a healthcare professional.
Cycle tracking can also support fertility awareness, whether someone is planning a pregnancy or simply learning more about their menstrual health.

Understanding your cycle is one way to better understand your health.

✨ Wellness Wednesday ✨
The wellness advice no one really wants to hear… but probably needs to.

It’s not always the trendy habits or complicated routines that make the biggest difference — it’s the consistent basics.
Simple doesn’t mean easy.
But it does work.

So many women grow up hearing that certain symptoms are “just part of being a woman.”

Severe period pain.
Extreme fatigue.
Debilitating PMS.
Hormonal symptoms that impact daily life.

While some symptoms can be common, that doesn’t mean they should be dismissed or ignored.

At our clinic, we believe women deserve to be heard, investigated, and supported when something doesn’t feel right.
Your health concerns are valid, and understanding your body is an important part of holistic care.

🧪 Science Sunday 👩‍🔬
Around 1 in 7 Australian women will be diagnosed with endometriosis by age 44, yet many people still don’t know the signs or understand the impact it can have on daily life.
On average, it takes 6–8 years to receive a diagnosis. During that time, many people live with symptoms that are often dismissed or misunderstood.

By talking about endometriosis, sharing information, and listening to lived experiences, we can help improve recognition, reduce stigma, and support earlier diagnosis.

The more we talk about it, the more awareness grows.

🌼 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting around 1 in 9 Australian women by age 44.

Despite how common it is, many people experience delays in diagnosis and support. Raising awareness helps improve understanding, early recognition, and access to care.

If period pain is interfering with daily life, it deserves to be taken seriously.

🌿Wellness Wednesday Reminder

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. Often, the biggest impact comes from the small habits we repeat daily.

Low effort. High impact. Consistency is what matters most.

🧪 Science Sunday 👩🏽‍🔬
Not everyone gets their first period at the same age — and that’s normal.

However, clinical guidelines from The Royal Children's Hospital Adolescent Medicine department recommend seeking medical advice if a child has not had their first period by age 15, or if periods suddenly stop, become very irregular, or are accompanied by other symptoms.

Menstrual cycles are a vital sign of health. If something changes, it’s worth checking in.
