Hot Flush Fix

13/01/2026

Ladies, can we talk about something that might sound a bit "gym bro" but is actually brilliant for menopause? 🏋️‍♀️
Creatine. Yes, that's the powder bodybuilders use.
Hear me out, because the research is fascinating:
🔹 After 30, our bodies make less creatine naturally
🔹 Women already have 70-80% lower stores than men (of course, we do)
🔹 Post-menopause, we lose muscle and bone mass at an alarming rate
However, here's why I'm excited: consuming 5 grams of creatine daily, combined with strength training, can help maintain muscle strength, support bone health, and even enhance memory. A 2023 study showed significant cognitive benefits for people aged 66-76.
This isn't about lifting massive weights. It's about maintaining the strength to live independently and well as we age. Think opening jars without asking for help, climbing stairs without huffing, and remembering where you put your keys.
The recommended dose is simple: 5 grams daily, every day. Mix it in your coffee, smoothie, or water.
Anyone else using creatine? I'd love to hear your experiences! 💬

Anyone else suddenly developing brown or greyish patches around cheeks, forehead or upper lip?
Hello melasma 🙋‍♀️
Latest research suggests progesterone is the main culprit.
Also—good news—it’s not cancerous and often fades on its own.

Worth getting your thyroid checked, and always wear SPF (yes, even indoors).

GSM: the menopause symptom no one talks about until everything feels dry, irritated, and ready to file a complaint.
Gold standard? Vaginal estrogen
Alternatives? DHEA + ospemifene
Things to skip? Lasers. Your wallet deserves better.
You’re not “just getting older “ - it’s estrogen and it’s fixable.
