Frustrated is an understatement 😤 Why are so many GPs still so uneducated about the latest up to date menopause treatments and guidance when it comes to HRT prescribing???? There is no excuse with so much free training available for surgeries now. I have received two messages this weekend from clients who have been refused HRT with reasons that are outdated and bloody wrong. Things like, “Oestrogen and Progesterone together will hugely raise your breast cancer risk so I’m not giving it to you, Progesterone doesn’t help with sleep and anxiety, you don’t need Topical Oestrogen” (even though my client has all the symptoms). All I want is to be able to work alongside GPs to help women feel the best they possibly can, it’s not fair that my clients are feeling upset and unheard after a visit to their local surgery.

Why or why is this still happening? Rant over!

Do you ever feel like you need to completely block out all the noise from the zillions of social media posts bombarding you with conflicting information about women’s health? Especially when it comes to the Menopause. Even I get overwhelmed with the, do this, buy that, slap this on, eat this, don’t do that posts. Remember, that just because you have seen it on social media by someone who has thousands of followers doesn’t mean it’s right for you.

So many women come to me feeling really confused and frustrated not knowing what to try for the best. They love the fact that I can give them evidence based, up to date information completely tailored to them because there’s no one size fits all. My clients go away feeling a sense of clarity with a clear direction forward, with a weight lifted off their shoulders. The results I see and the feedback I get proves my approach works.

If you are fed up of all the noise just come see me and I can help you find your way. You don’t need to keep searching for answers, trying this and trying that. Stop wasting time, life is way too short when you can be feeling like yourself again 👏

Book in a FREE call by sending me a WhatsApp message and we can chat about how I can help you,

Do you ever walk into a room and forget why you went in? Lose your train of thought mid sentence? Struggle to find the right words? We can all relate, right?

Brain fog can knock our confidence, affect our work, and make us feel like we are not ourselves anymore 😭

The brain is responding to what’s happening in our bodies and our environment 🫨

Hormones fluctuating and declining, stress, poor sleep and diet all play a role. If you’re struggling with focus, memory, or mental clarity, I can help you get to the root cause 🙌

Sometimes it’s the simplest tweaks to our lifestyles that have the biggest impacts 🤩

Don’t let Brain Fog rule your life, I can help you to feel focused again, calm, confident, remembering your words and certainly knowing why you walked into that room!

This week at GFM I talked about another strong foundation we need to build if we want to thrive through midlife and age well. MOVEMENT 💪

As we age declining hormones means we can lose muscle mass, bone density, mobility and flexibility, speed and stamina so building a variety is a non negotiable if we want to remain fit and healthy into our 70s, 80s and beyond.

Research shows that combining a variety of different movement gives us a 19% lower risk of premature death (under the age of 75) compared to those who stick to only one type, regardless of the total time spent on it. Think…

🧘‍♂️Yoga/Pilates
🚶Walking, Cycling, swimming
🏋️‍♂️ Lifting/using weights
🏓 Playing a sport you enjoy

Mix it up for optimal benefits including short bursts of higher intensity 🙌

Tina in the picture is my mother in law, she’s 76 years old and has really prioritised daily movement as you can see! She combines walking, strength training and working on balance to keep her physically and mentally fit. More importantly, she really enjoys it 😀 It’s never too late to start and with consistency you will see and feel a difference very quickly!

Here are some of my fave people to follow and if you are local to Colchester check out who I recommend. We have some amazing Yoga and Pilates classes

I am working with many women at the moment who are taking HRT but still experiencing terrible symptoms. One of the biggest contributing reasons is because they are not metabolising and detoxifying hormones effectively. Once your body uses your hormones, the leftovers need to be detoxified safely out of the body especially when it comes to oestrogen. Think of oestrogen like cars trying to leave a big stadium after an event. Your body has a clear exit system designed to get those cars out smoothly:

1️⃣ The Liver = The Traffic Control Centre. This is where hormones get processed and prepared to leave the body safely. The liver adds little “exit passes” to hormones so they can move on.

2️⃣ The Gut & Bowels = The Motorway Out of Town. Once hormones are processed, they travel down the motorway (your digestive system) to be eliminated in your poo.

3️⃣ The Kidneys = The Side Roads. Some hormones leave via urine, another escape route.

🚧 But What Happens When Detox Pathways Are Sluggish? Now imagine, the traffic lights in the control centre aren’t working properly (liver overloaded) The motorway has roadworks (constipation, poor gut health, stress) Some exits are closed (dehydration, poor nutrient status)
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 The cars can’t leave. So they start circling back into town. That’s exactly what happens with hormones, especially oestrogen. Instead of leaving the body, they get:

➡️ Reabsorbed through the gut
➡️ Recirculated back into the bloodstream
➡️ Adding to the body’s hormone load

😣 What That Traffic Jam Feels Like in the Body

• Heavy or painful periods
• Breast tenderness
• Bloating
• PMS / mood swings
• Headaches or migraines
• Perimenopause symptoms feeling worse
• Feeling “puffy”, inflamed or wired but tired

🌿 The Goal: Get Traffic Flowing Again

We support the exit routes so that means supporting:

✔️ Liver pathways (nutrients, protein, cruciferous veg)
✔️ Gut health (fibre, regular bowel movements, reducing stress )
✔️ Hydration
✔️ Reducing toxic load where possible

I am thoroughly enjoying hanging out with the lovely ladies from GFM Clearcomms each week talking all things Menopause ✨

Last week was all about nutrition and the impact that food can have on our hormones during menopause and as we age, my favourite topic! This week we covered the impact that stress has on our hormones and how we can learn to reduce stress. I got everyone really thinking about how they can bring in more calming practices and self care to create more space for themselves. All of this has a profound effect in all areas of our lives including within the workplace 🙌

It is so wonderful to see how much the company values the health and wellbeing of their staff 😀

Looking forward to next week!

I am seeing more and more test results coming back showing poor oestrogen detoxification. This is a real problem for women as what happens is it keeps being re absorbed by the body, re circulating instead of safely being removed out of the body. There are 3 phases that break down and remove used oestrogens and their metabolites from the body. Metabolites are like the leftovers created once your liver has processed and used oestrogen. They then have to go down pathways to the next phase, there are 3 main routes with two being much more proliferative, too much down those means symptoms contributing to and Including weight gain, heavy painful periods, acne, mood swings, tender breasts, fibroids and even cancer.
If they go down the right path they can safely be removed via having a wee or a bowel movement ( we need regular daily bowel movements) 💩

What prevents a safe exit - stress, poor gut and liver health, alcohol, lack of nutrients and medications. One of the simplest things you can do to support the process is eat 2 cups of Cruciferous vegetables at lunch and dinner everyday. They contain a compound called DIM which helps to balance oestrogen levels and support phase 1 and 2 detoxification. Literally something so simple but extremely effective 💪

Today I steamed broccoli and kale with some left over cajun chicken for lunch, I need the oestrogen I’m naturally making and from my HRT to work effectively for me, used and removed so I feel well 😀

If you would like more info on how I can help you there’s still time to grab yourself a discount before January ends. Get in touch for a chat, I’m here to help,

A study of 125,000 women by Cambridge University has shown a possible link between loss of hormones during menopause to Dementia later in life for women. Two out of three who develop Dementia are women. Dr Mosconi Neuroscientist has done extensive research on this, I highly recommend her books especially ‘The XX Brain’ The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Prevent Dementia. It shows that Amyloid Plaques start forming in the brain in our mid forties when Oestrogen levels start to decline for many women. Oestrogen is extremely protective, without this protection we are much more open to inflammation. Although what is equally important is living a healthy lifestyle. A Mediterranean style diet, lots of healthy fats, vegetables, good quality protein, low in sugar, processed foods and alcohol. Daily movement and connection within a supportive community.

Taking HRT within ten years of the menopause (Once you haven’t had a period for 12 months) can help but ultimately it is lifestyle that matters most. Hormones taken in via HRT will not make up for a poor diet, high stress or low exercise. Combining both HRT and a healthy lifestyle is, in my view, the ultimate way to go to protect women from not only Dementia but other health conditions including Heart disease, Osteoporosis, Arthritis and other Autoimmune diseases.

We have to take responsibility for our own health, start today, it’s never too late to choose to make better choices, your future self will thank you ❤️

I have been talking a lot lately with clients about CAPACITY. Do you have much capacity left at the moment or are you so full that the slightest thing tips you over the edge?

When we are full, we can very easily feel overwhelmed becoming overly sensitive, emotional, irritable and frustrated. Listen to your body and create more space for yourself to completely de compress allowing yourself to SLOW DOWN without feeling guilty.

We need to create space for ourselves so that our nervous system can regulate, so that our hormones can work effectively. Symptoms subside, we feel much calmer, more energised and we can think clearly.

Ask yourself these questions …. How can I create more space for myself? What does more space look like to me?

For me, it’s more calming mindful practises like breathing deeply, laying on a soft foam roller sinking into my spine releasing tension from my mind and body. I didn’t have my foam roller to hand today at work so I used a bolster instead. It feels good to just STOP and BREATH 🧘

Find what works for you and bring much more of it into your life,

My client had a full hysterectomy March last year and was immediately thrown into surgical menopause. She said the symptoms of that are far worse than the operation and recovery from it. My client had an appointment with a private doctor who prescribed Oestrogen to help ease symptoms which included insomnia, weight gain, low energy, low mood, night sweats and low libido. It helped a little but still the weight was increasing, sleep terrible and energy low.

My client got in touch with me and booked a Hormone MOT + This includes a consultation with me and an Advanced Hormone Test via

I met with her online this morning to go through the results, she had:

🔸 Very high Oestrogen
🔸 Very low Progesterone
🔸 Very low Testosterone
🔸 Very low Cortisol
🔸 Low B12 and B6
🔸 Low Melatonin
🔸 She wasnt detoxifying Oestrogen well

No wonder she was feeling so awful, in fact I’m surprised she was able to function as well as she had been.

She now has a plan in place so she can heal and recover. Her Adrenal Glands need lots of support so they can recalibrate and start producing the right amounts of hormones for her so she feels energised, her mood lifts and her weight drops. Support for her Oestrogen detox pathways as Oestrogen was getting stuck along the journey out the body making her levels high and also she needs to add in Micronised Progesterone to her HRT prescription. Just because she no longer has a womb does not mean she doesn’t need it. Progesterone has many benefits not just to protect the womb lining but for sleep, mood and healthy bones. She said the test has given her the answers she’s been wanting for months, she feels totally reassured and relieved to know why she has been feeling so not herself. ‘I’m so glad I took the test’ she said, now she can start re building her life and looking forward to feeling her bright bubbly self again 👏

If you are fed up of not getting the right help, if you are struggling please get in touch, I can help you 🙌

Lots of love Sarah 🫶

Sarahs Story

I started running my own business, iMassage Massage Health & Wellbeing back in 2012 following my passion for natural holistic healthcare. Over the years I built a very successful fulltime career as a wellness practitioner and in 2019 I fulfilled my dream and opened The Manor Health and Wellness Centre in Colchester Essex with a colleague. The Manor is an amazing space offering holistic healthcare therapies, classes and workshops and brings many very experienced, passionate practitioners and teachers together working under one roof. www.themanorhealthandwellness.co.uk

I was seeing a lot of women in my practice presenting with Peri to Post Menopausal symptoms who were not getting any help or guidance from their GPs. I myself being 47 was also experiencing some symptoms specifically nightsweats and unexplained weightgain. I felt a huge calling to research everything menopause, train in this area and then share my knowledge, #knowledgeispower

My passion and enthusiasm for learning and helping others took me to train to become a Peri to Post Menopause Womens Wellness Coach. My training has given me all the knowledge, tools, love and passion to support women through these years empowering them with the confidence they need to make the 3rd age their best years yet. Together we can build a holistic strategy that involves you taking ownership of your health, taking back control so that you feel the healthiest you have ever felt and will fly into the second half of your life fitter, stronger and happier than ever before.

KNOWLEDGE = ACTION = POWER
