Misophonia in menopause is very real.

If someone eating carrots on a train suddenly feels like a personal attack…
you’re not imagining it.

You’re not dramatic.
You’re not irrational.
And you’re definitely not alone!

Hormonal changes in midlife can heighten sensory sensitivity.
Small noises can feel enormous.

If you’ve noticed yourself feeling more reactive lately, there can be a reason for it.

And yes, I believe the public consumption of carrots should be banned, unless you are, in fact, a horse.

Midlife is wild.
Let’s talk about it 💛

My clinic advert is now live on STV.

A reminder of how far menopause care has come and how important this work is.

Midlife women deserve thoughtful, informed care.
Menopause shouldn’t be whispered about.
It should be discussed, understood and properly supported.

Grateful to be part of that shift in improving women’s health.

DONT SUFFER IN SILENCE!
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is common, under-diagnosed, and very treatable.

Symptoms can include:
• Vaginal dryness or burning
• Pain with s*x
• Recurrent UTIs
• Urinary urgency or irritation

These changes happen because oestrogen levels fall, affecting the vaginal and urinary tissues — making them thinner, drier, and more sensitive.

💡 One of the most effective treatments?
👉 Vaginal oestrogen

Unlike systemic HRT, vaginal oestrogen is low-dose and works locally, helping to:
✔ Restore tissue health
✔ Improve comfort and lubrication
✔ Reduce UTIs
✔ Make s*x comfortable again

And yes - for most women, it’s safe, effective, and can be used long-term (even if you’re not on HRT).

If you’ve been told to “just use lubricant” or “put up with it” you deserve better information.

✨ Menopause care should include vaginal health.

Save this post, share it with someone who needs it, and speak to a healthcare professional if these symptoms sound familiar.

Black Box Removal: What It Means for Women in the UK

There’s been a lot of discussion about this online, so here’s what it means for us in the UK 🇬🇧.

Big news from the U.S. 🇺🇸 this week is that the FDA has announced it’s removing the long-standing Black Box warnings from HRT.

It’s a huge step forward for women’s health there, finally reflecting what the evidence has shown for years- that
HRT is safe and effective for most women when prescribed appropriately.

Here in the UK, those warnings were never applied.
Our menopause care already follows trusted, evidence-based guidance from NICE and the British Menopause Society (BMS), with medicines regulated by the MHRA and approved for NHS use in Scotland by the SMC.

So while this update marks an important milestone in the U.S., it’s also a reassuring reminder that women here already benefit from modern, personalised, and well-regulated HRT treatment 💛

Thinking about HRT but not sure where to start?

There’s so much information (and misinformation) out there, but understanding the basics can really help you make sense of your options.

Here are 5 things you should know about HRT — just some simple facts to get you started 💛

There’s obviously lots more to know, but it’s a good place to begin.

Brilliant day at the Scottish Pause Summit!

Such a brilliant day! Amazing speakers, real conversations and so much connection.

I was there to talk about Access and Choice in Menopause Care and how we can make care more personal, more flexible, and more supportive for every woman.

There was a definite buzz about the room… 😏

The theme this year for Menopause Awareness — Lifestyle Medicine in Menopause Care — really hit home. Small changes that not only help ease menopause symptoms, but support long-term health and wellbeing too.

Grateful, inspired and a wee bit tired. But what a day 💛

We don’t just want to live longer — we want to live longer in good health.

So what actually helps us do that?

Lifestyle medicine.

We talk a lot about HRT (and yes, it can be life-changing).
But menopause care isn’t just about hormones.

Lifestyle medicine is the foundation underneath it all — the 6 pillars that quietly shape how your body feels, functions, and ages through midlife and beyond.

🥦 Healthy eating – steady energy, balanced mood
💤 Restorative sleep – everything feels harder when you’re tired
💪 Physical activity – protecting strength, bone, and muscle
🧠 Mental wellbeing – supporting focus and calm
🤝 Healthy relationships – connection really does affect hormones
🚫 Reducing harmful substances – caffeine, alcohol, smoking – small tweaks, big results

This year’s IMS White Paper highlights lifestyle medicine as the theme for World Menopause Day 2025 — and it couldn’t be more relevant.

Because true menopause care goes far beyond prescriptions — it’s about building health that lasts 💛

💜 1 day to go 💜

Tomorrow is World Menopause Day, and this year’s theme is Lifestyle Medicine in Menopause Care.

I talk about this every single day in clinic — because it’s never just about hormones.

It’s about the things that hold everything else together:
🌿 Sleep
🍽️ Nutrition
💪 Movement
💬 Connection
☀️ Stress (or how we manage it)
🌱 Reducing harmful habits

These are the pillars that support real change.

Keep an eye out tomorrow — I’ll be sharing something special to celebrate 💛

This is my lifestyle medicine today.

Even the dog’s had enough. 💤

Some days you don’t need steps or structure — you just need a blanket, a film, and zero guilt!!!

Rest is medicine.
And if your body’s asking for it, that’s reason enough. 💛
