Many women turn to 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 to boost their skin’s elasticity and fullness. It’s a great step! But without supporting your hormones, you might not be unlocking its full potential.

👉 Here’s why:
Collagen supplements provide the “building blocks” for healthy skin.
Estrogen acts as the “project manager,” directing your skin to use those blocks to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid (think plump and hydrated!).

Without estrogen, the process slows down, meaning collagen supplements can only go so far.

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑜𝑚 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒? Collagen can help, but it works best when your hormones are in harmony.

Midlife skin health is all about balance — giving your body the right tools 𝗮𝗻𝗱 the right signals to thrive.

Grateful to have spoken at the 𝐿𝑒𝑡’𝑠 𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝐴𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝐼𝑡 Expo last week in Sunraysia.

I met many women who initially believed they weren’t in perimenopause — until we discussed the symptoms. For some, it sparked the realisation: “𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲.”

This is why education and open conversations about perimenopause are so important. Understanding what to expect not only helps manage symptoms but also supports long-term health and well-being.

Keep the conversation going. Let’s prepare, educate, and support one another through this journey.

It’s been 7 years since the last update, but the American Heart Association (AHA) has just released its 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗕𝗣) 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀. These updates reflect the latest research and a stronger focus on prevention and personalized care.

Here’s what’s changed:

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀: The ideal BP remains under 120/80 mmHg, but there’s now a greater emphasis on early intervention for readings above this range.

𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: The guidelines prioritize lifestyle changes, like a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and stress reduction, before medication in many cases.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Care plans are now more tailored, considering factors like age, gender, and overall health risks.

Why is this important? High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it can go unnoticed until it causes serious health issues. These new guidelines aim to catch and manage hypertension earlier, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

💡 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Regular BP checks are essential. If you’re unsure about your numbers, you can usually get this checked at your local pharmacy. If you need support managing your BP, book a telehealth appointment with 𝗻𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 today.

Once called Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), the name implied that estrogen and progesterone levels needed to be “replaced” to a pre-set “normal” youthful state.

After the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) in 2002, the terminology shifted to Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) to clarify that this therapy is specific to menopause - not hormone use in other conditions like gender-affirming therapy or adrenal insufficiency. The goal? To avoid over-medicalizing aging while still recognizing the therapeutic role of hormones.

Now, a cohort of menopause providers has reached a new consensus: 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝗣𝗘𝗧—𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻, 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲. These are the foundational hormones of therapy, evaluated, balanced, replaced, or optimized based on symptoms, labs, and quality of life.

This shift acknowledges that hormone therapy isn’t just for menopause. Hormonal shifts can occur at other times (postpartum, while on the pill, during perimenopause) and may require addressing. It’s about meeting your unique needs, regardless of age or reproductive status.

When it comes to Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Current guidelines suggest that starting MHT within 10 years of menopause offers the most benefits, including symptom relief and long-term health protection.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄? While there may be increased risks, it doesn’t mean the conversation is over. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏’𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒇𝒖𝒍, 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔.

MHT isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s about finding what works for you. Whether you’re within the 10-year window or beyond, let’s talk about your health goals and how we can support them.

Starting 1 November 2025, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) will face the same “12-month existing clinical relationship” requirement for Medicare telehealth rebates as GPs. This means patients 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 unless they’ve had a face-to-face consultation in the past year.

This change risks 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, especially when NPs provide specialized, streamlined services in women’s health, endocrinology, mental health, and more. At 𝗻𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, this will impact our patients, and I am committed to doing everything I can to avoid raising prices for 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦? NPs are not “mini-GPs.” We bring 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 to healthcare, with years of training (undergraduate, RN experience, graduate and master’s degrees, and practicum hours). Yet, we are now being held to a model that doesn’t reflect our practice or purpose.

𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. If you have ideas on how we can lobby the government to re-evaluate these telehealth rules for NPs (and GPs), please share them. For now, consider writing to your local MP or the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler, with your personal story of how an NP or GP has helped you via telehealth.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰? Testosterone isn’t just a “male” hormone. Women produce it too, and it plays a vital role in overall health and well-being.

Testosterone contributes to:

💪Muscle strength and maintenance
🏃‍♀️Energy levels and stamina
😡Mood regulation and mental clarity
🦴Bone health and density
🪄Libido and sexual health

While testosterone levels naturally decline with age, imbalances can sometimes lead to symptoms like fatigue, low libido, or mood changes. If you’re experiencing these, it might be worth exploring your hormone health.

Your health is unique, and so is your care. Book a telehealth appointment with 𝗻𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 to discuss your symptoms and explore tailored solutions.
