Just spent the weekend at the AMS Menopause Annual Conference in Fremantle 🌊✨.
It was a fantastic opportunity to update my knowledge, hear from leading experts, and connect with colleagues passionate about women’s health.

I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned back to my patients and community — helping women navigate menopause with the most up-to-date, evidence-based care. 💜

Goodbye Melbourne! Thank you for 5 days of Menopause learning at the and wonderful weather! My brain is full and I can't wait to start using what I've learned in General Practice. I may even consider IMF20 in Rio!

To my followers, if you want to discuss perimenopause or menopause challenges, please book a long consult (not std)

Something I learned today:

Lots of women struggle with weight gain/loss in perimenopause or menopause. Did you know that SLEEP is very important in determining weight?

If you have poor sleep
- less duration
- poor quality
- frequent wakening
it greatly impacts our ability to make healthy food choices / our cravings for high calorie comfort foods increases the next day and causes more fatigue which impacts our willingness to exercise!

Assessing and treating sleep problems in midlife is complex and requires a holistic plan. Treatment is multi pronged
- lifestyle
- limit caffeine and alcohol
- reduce stress
- sleep hygiene
- assess and treat for mood disorders
- address and treat vasomotor symptoms (aka hot flushes) via hormonal and non-hormonal options
- sedatives are not for the long term
- short term melatonin may be appropriate

Just wanted to share this amazing podcast that I've been binge listening to - 1000 hours outside. US based with a mission to change families by reclaiming their children's childhood back and spending more time outdoors in unstructured play.

A great listen for families with growing kids
