🧠 Be Kind to Your Mind 🧠

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health—and movement is one of the most powerful tools to support both.

✨ Here’s how moving your body helps your mind:
🌿 Reduces stress & anxiety – lowers stress hormones and calms your nervous system
😊 Boosts your mood – endorphins lift your energy and ease depression
😴 Improves sleep – better rest means better mental health
💪 Builds resilience & confidence – every small win in movement strengthens self-belief

It doesn’t need to be complicated. A short walk, a stretch, or lifting weights—it all counts.

💜 This Women’s Health Week, remember: being kind to your mind can start with simply moving your body.

Pain + Female = “It’s all in your head.” If you’ve been told this, you’re not alone.

🔍 Women’s pain is underdiagnosed, undertreated, and misunderstood.
Conditions like endometriosis take years to be diagnosed and can deeply affect quality of life.

But here’s something you can do today:
Movement, when tailored and gentle, can help reduce pelvic pain.
Exercises like deep core activation, gentle stretching, and mindful movement can support your nervous system and pelvic function.

💜 This Women's Health Week, let’s break the silence around women’s pain. Tag someone who needs to know they’re not alone.

❤️ Heart Smart = Brain Smart ❤️

Dementia is the #1 killer of women in Australia. Heart disease is #2.

The two are closely linked — what supports your heart also protects your brain.

✨ The best part? Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have. ✨
Regular movement improves blood flow, reduces risk factors, and helps keep your mind sharp and your body strong.

Each week aim for:
✅ 150 mins of moderate aerobic activity
✅ 2 strength training sessions

❤️ This Women’s Health Week, let’s get Heart Smart.

It's day 2 of Women's Health Week, and today, it's all about taking the lead.

Walking into a health appointment can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you're seeing someone for the first time and don't know what to expect. With the right tools, you can feel confident, prepared, and in control.

Here are 3 ways to take the lead at your next appointment:
📝 Keep a symptom tracker
❓️ Write down any questions you want answered
📊 Bring relevant reports, test results or scans

👉 Remember: You are the expert on your own body. Your voice matters, and you deserve to be heard. Walk in prepared. Walk out empowered.

🩺 Every Check Matters

As women, we so often prioritise the needs of others above our own, including our health needs. Preventive health checks aren’t just about finding problems—they’re about protecting your future.

Regular screenings can help detect issues early, give you peace of mind, and keep you doing the things you love—whether that’s lifting, walking with friends, or chasing after grandkids.

✨ Common checks to keep on your radar:

✅️ Cervical screening
✅️Pelvic floor assessment - especially after pregnancy or during perimenopause
✅️Breast checks - monthly self exams, and mammograms if age 40+
✅️Blood pressure, blood glucose & cholesterol
✅️Bone density (especially during perimenopause)
✅️Mental health check-ins

The checks you need will vary based on your age and your individual needs. Try out the new health check tool by to see which checks are recommended for you. If the list seems overwhelming, pick just one to start with.

Your health deserves attention, and booking that appointment is a powerful way of saying YES to you.

👉 Tag a friend who might need the reminder today, and make your next check part of your self-care.

Big results don’t come from one massive change — they come from the little things you do consistently.

🚶‍♀️ Taking the stairs
🛏 Going to bed 20 minutes earlier

These small steps might not feel like much today, but keep at them over time, and they add up to something your future self will thank you for.
