Another great start to the Menopause and Me 5 week programme at Magherafelt WGroup.

I’m in my happy place when I’m out delivering my programmes and massive thanks to Northern Ireland Rural Women’s Network for providing this opportunity for women and for supporting this important work in the community. 🥰🥰

Our Menopause & Me programme kicked off at Magherafelt Women’s Group.

A warm, supportive start to an important journey together, creating space for support, connections and shared experiences.

A huge thank you to NIRWN for having me deliver the Menopause and Me 5-week online programme. What an incredible evening with a fantastic group of women!

It’s such a pleasure to be in a space where women can talk openly about menopause in a safe and supportive environment. I’m really looking forward to continuing our sessions over the next four weeks.

I’m also excited for the 5-week in-person programme starting tomorrow morning, 10:30am–12:00pm at Magherafelt Womens Group. Check out the post below for registration details – it would be wonderful to have you join us and be part of the conversation! 🥰🥰

The first session of our online Menopause & Me programme took place last night and saw an excellent turnout.

Participants enjoyed an informative evening filled with valuable information, practical advice and engaging discussions.

There is still time to register for our in-person programme beginning tomorrow morning (Friday 14th November) in Magherafelt Women’s Centre. Email paula@nirwn.org to register/ further information.

🌸 Trusted Nutrition Advice for Menopause 🌸

There’s a lot of confusion and misinformation about diet and menopause - so it’s great to see Registered Dietitian Jill Stewart and the Public Health Dietitians Group Northern Ireland sharing clear, evidence-based guidance for women.

They’ve developed two short, practical videos based on the latest research, exploring how diet and lifestyle can support health and wellbeing during menopause.

🎥 The videos cover:
✅ Practical diet and nutrition tips to manage menopause symptoms
💪 How food choices and lifestyle can support long-term bone and heart health
🌿 The evidence behind nutritional supplements and soya products

These are excellent resources to share or signpost for anyone looking for reliable, research-backed advice.

🌸 Excellent news – and a fabulous start!

Including menopause in routine NHS Health Checks is a huge step forward for women’s health across England.

It means millions of women will finally have the opportunity to talk openly about symptoms, access accurate advice, and get the care and support they need during perimenopause and menopause.

👏 This is exactly the kind of proactive, preventative healthcare we need - recognising menopause as a key part of women’s health and wellbeing, not an afterthought.

💬 The question now is - when will we see this implemented in Northern Ireland?

Women here deserve the same access to menopause-informed healthcare, delivered through a joined-up system that empowers clinicians and supports women to thrive through midlife and beyond.

Let’s make sure Northern Ireland is not left behind.

It’s time for our Health and Social Care leaders to commit to the same level of menopause awareness, training and preventative support within routine health checks.

This would be a game-changer for women’s health, workplace wellbeing and equality here.

Huge credit to Menopause Mandate for their tireless campaigning to make this happen 👏💜

Menopause advice will be added to free health checks to help millions of women get the care they need.

💗 A huge thank you to Gwyneth Hinds for her generosity in donating copies of her book to support women attending our World Menopause Day event this Saturday.

This insightful book explores many of the common symptoms of menopause - from brain fog and genito-urinary changes to aches, pains and hot flushes - and offers practical tools to help women have informed conversations with their doctors.

It also highlights the importance of caring for your gut microbiome, and how the foods you eat and the exercise you take can make a real difference to your health and wellbeing - not just during menopause, but well beyond it.

We’re so grateful to Gwyneth for helping us empower women with knowledge and confidence on their menopause journey. 💕

If you are a member of a group who could benefit by having a few copies then please do get in touch!
