It’s Women’s Health Week, the perfect reminder to always be your own health hero đŸ’Ș

Advocating for yourself means being actively involved in your care and making your voice heard.
Here are five simple ways to step into your power this week (and every week):

✹ Ask questions so you feel confident
✹ Track and share your symptoms
✹ Seek clarity if you need reassurance
✹ Write notes during your appointments
✹ Stay proactive with regular check-ups

Your cycle is more than just your period, it’s a window into your health 🙌

Changes in timing, pain or flow can be early signs of hormonal issues, stress or underlying conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.

You don’t need to track obsessively, but noticing patterns with a simple app, diary or even by charting your temperature or cervical mucus can help you catch issues early.

Pain that stops you, bleeding that’s heavy or irregular or cycles that change suddenly?
They’re not just ‘part of being a woman’, they’re worth checking out! 💜

Still being told your period pain is normal?

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 Australian women and those assigned female at birth. Delays in diagnosis are still far too common (average of 6–8 years) 💔

You know your body. If something feels off, you deserve to be heard. Ask your GP for a referral to a specialist who understands endo.

Save this to take to your next appointment, or send it to a friend who’s still being dismissed.

ă€°ïž Irregular or missed periods
ă€°ïž Excess facial/body hair
ă€°ïž Acne
ă€°ïž Scalp hair thinning

ă€°ïž Trouble getting pregnant
ă€°ïž Ovarian cysts
ă€°ïž Dark skin patches
ă€°ïž Mood changes (anxiety, depression)

If you’re noticing and are concerned about any of the above, it’s always worth having a chat with your doctor đŸ«¶

We get the appeal. Quick fix, clean slate, new you. But here’s the truth...

🧠 Hormones are part of a complex, finely tuned system. And no juice cleanse or ‘hormone reset’ can magically recalibrate it in 72 hours.

📚 Balancing hormones involves long-term strategies like sleep, stress reduction, nutrition, physical activity and managing underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues.

⚠ Detoxes may actually do more harm than good, by stressing your body, spiking cortisol and messing with your blood sugar.

Real hormone health isn’t a quick fix, it’s a long game. And you’re worth the slow, sustainable approach đŸ«¶

Did you know your brain actually changes during pregnancy? 🧠💕

Research shows that in late pregnancy, women use the right side of their brain more, especially the areas linked to emotional connection and recognising faces. It’s your brain’s way of preparing you to bond with your baby and tune into their needs from day one.

Pretty amazing, right?

What’s really behind a hot flush? Spoiler: it’s not just the weather.

As oestrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, your body’s internal thermostat starts to misfire, triggering sudden waves of heat, a flushed face and that lovely mid-meeting sweat 🙄

The good news? It’s completely normal and there are treatments that can help. If you are at all concerned about hot flushes and their impact on your daily life, speak to your doctor.

Wait
 why am I bleeding right now? Spotting between periods is more common than you might think. Here are five common reasons you might notice light bleeding outside your usual cycle:

✹ Ovulation spotting
✹ Hormonal birth control shifts
✹ High stress levels
✹ Post-sex sensitivity
✹ Perimenopause changes

Sometimes it’s your body’s normal rhythm. Other times, it’s a nudge to check in with your doctor, especially if it’s new, persistent or comes with pain.

Whether it’s your mum, partner or work colleague, there are ways you can help make someone’s experience of menopause a whole lot better.

đŸ’«Listen without judgement: believe them when they say what they’re feeling.
đŸ’«Be patient: Mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, it’s not personal. Your support can make a huge difference.
đŸ’«Encourage self care: Gently remind them to rest, move, eat well, or take a break, whatever feels good to them.
đŸ’«Offer practical help: Whether it’s cooking dinner, running an errand or just showing up, small acts can go a long way.
đŸ’«Respect boundaries: If they need space or silence, give it without taking it personally. Trust that they know what they need.
đŸ’«Educate yourself: Learn about the symptoms, physical, mental and emotional, so you can better understand what they might be going through.

Menopause is a life transition that most woman experience. A little support from those close by can go a long way 💜

Ever feel like you’re getting the flu... right before your period?

You’re not imagining it. It’s often called ‘period flu’. It’s not an actual virus, but it can feel just as rough. You may experience:

đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Fatigue
đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Body aches
đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Chills
đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Nausea
đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Mood swings

It’s actually your body’s response to shifting estrogen and progesterone. For some, these changes hit hard and it can feel like they’re becoming sick. If it’s really impacting you, it’s worth talking to your doctor, sometimes there might be more going on, like PMDD or endometriosis.
