World Menopause Day
This year’s theme for the World Menopause Day from the International Menopause Society celebrates the power of lifestyle medicine in supporting women’s health through menopause.

Menopause isn’t an illness, it’s a natural transition. But the right lifestyle choices can make a big difference to how you feel and to your long-term health. Your doctor at Eleanor Clinic is here to support you through this transition. HRT and other medication can be very helpful. We always look at the holistic picture and the individual need of each woman.

The six pillars of lifestyle medicine are simple but powerful foundations for wellbeing:
🥗 Healthy eating
🏃‍♀️ Physical activity
🧘‍♀️ Mental wellbeing
😴 Restorative sleep
🚫 Minimising harmful substances
💬 Healthy relationships

Explore practical, evidence-based ways to care for yourself during and after menopause. The Australian Menopause Society has further information on their website.

💙 Supporting Our Community: Eleanor Clinic & Reaching Out in the Inner West 💙
We’re so grateful to our wonderful patients — together, we’ve filled another large box of food donations! 🥫✨
Thank you for your kindness and continued support. Every can, carton, and box makes a real difference.
At Eleanor Clinic, we believe in the power of giving back. We’re proud to support
Reaching Out in the Inner West of Melbourne, a volunteer-led initiative founded by Beiruti.
Since 2005, this amazing group has been serving free meals and distributing non-perishable food every Monday night at Footscray Mall — ensuring no one in our community goes without. ❤️

We’re continuing to collect non-perishable food items at the clinic, and we’d love your help!
If you’re able to share a little extra, here’s what’s most needed:
🥣 Cereal
🥛 Long-life milk
🥫 Canned goods (beans, tuna, pasta, etc.)

Every item you drop off goes directly to families in need through this fantastic program.

If you or someone you know is facing food insecurity, please reach out to Reaching Out in the Inner West — they also regularly restock local food pantries and share updates on social media.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community effort. Together, we are able to make a difference in the West. 💙

🌍💚 World Mental Health Day 2025 💚🌍

Today is a great reminder to start conversations, reduce stigma, reach out for support — and connect with our communities.

This year’s theme, “Connect with your community,” highlights the importance of belonging to spaces where we feel safe, seen, and heard. Connection — today and every day — is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to care for your mental health, and the wellbeing of those around you.
At Eleanor Clinic your doctors are also always here to support you. We also love having such a great network of mental health professionals in our community.

Throughout October, Mental Health Australia is sharing helpful tips and reminders in their free 2025 World Mental Health Day calendar to help you check in and connect with your community.

🌸 Spring at Eleanor Clinic 🌸
We’re loving the first flowers of the season and watching our little garden come back to life — those cheerful pops of colour make lunch breaks in the sunshine even better! A big thank you to David from spencer_garden_design
helping us create such a beautiful space. 💐🌿

But we know spring isn’t all sunshine for everyone. If you experience hayfever or seasonal asthma, this is the time to start your preventer medications — before symptoms take hold.

✔️ Is your asthma or allergy action plan up to date?
✔️ Still struggling with symptoms?

There are new treatment options available, so don’t suffer through the season — book in for a review and breathe easier this spring. 💛

📸 A little behind-the-scenes moment with the Eleanor Clinic team!
From left to right: Dr. Aidan, Dr. Lisa, RN Tennisha, our multi-talented receptionist & designer Mimi, and medical student Sean.
One of the most rewarding parts of our work?
Sharing what we know. 🙌

Having Sean with us is a wonderful reminder of why we love primary care—because it’s about connection, compassion, and being there for people in real, everyday moments.

Whether it's teaching clinical skills, explaining systems of care, or just modeling how to truly listen—every team member here brings something valuable to the table.

We believe the future of medicine is brighter when we take time to teach with heart. 💚

DREAMING UP ELEANOR CLINIC

Eleanor means “light”.

Obviously, we named our Clinic after the Street we are located on but knowing Eleanor meant light: perfect! Eleanor Clinic is filled with so much light, it pours into each and every room.

When we dreamed up Eleanor Clinic, we were very conscious of sustainability and embracing the diversity of the local area. Footscray is such a wonderfully diverse place. From its people to the food and rich cultural backdrop: Footscray was the place for us from the very beginning.

A dedicated team came together to make Eleanor Clinic possible and we are truly grateful to those extraordinary people we met along the way. We would have never forged these connections with amazingly skilled local craftspeople and artisans had we sourced online.
