We’re passionate about making a real difference for women - improving health, changing lives, and empowering them with knowledge. A big part of that is helping women understand their menstrual cycle.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the different phases 👇

1️⃣Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
👉Your estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest
👉Common symptoms: low energy, cramps, fatigue
👉Syncing approach: restorative workouts (yoga, walking), iron-rich foods, more rest

2️⃣Follicular Phase (Days 6–13)
👉Your estrogen starts rising
👉You may feel: energised, motivated, clear-headed
👉Syncing approach: creative projects, strength training, high-fibre foods

3️⃣Ovulation (Around Day 14)
👉Your estrogen peaks; luteinizing hormone (LH) spikes
👉You may feel: social, confident, attractive
👉Syncing approach: networking, intense workouts, lighter meals

4️⃣Luteal Phase (Days 15–28)
👉Your progesterone rises, then both hormones drop before menstruation
👉You may feel: mood swings, cravings, bloating, fatigue
👉Syncing approach: calming activities, slower workouts, complex carbs, magnesium-rich foods

If you have any questions about your menstrual cycle, our team is always here to help.

How often do you need a cervical screening?

If you’re over the age of 25, you now only need a cervical screening every 5 years as long as your HPV swab result is negative.

The new test is more accurate, and you can even choose to do it yourself. If you’re due (or overdue), it’s a great time to book in with your GP.

Going through menopause? Let’s talk MHT!

You may have heard about MHT or Menopausal Hormone Therapy. This treatment is designed to replace the estrogen and progesterone that naturally decline in women during and after menopause.

MHT is primarily used to help relieve common menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

If you're experiencing these changes, it's worth discussing options with your GP or gynaecologist to see what suits you best.

Here’s a True or False question for your Tuesday:

👀True or False: You should get a Pap smear every year, regardless of your age or medical history. Answer below 👇

❌FALSE! For most women, after a certain age and with consistent normal results, the recommended frequency is every 3 or even 5 years, not annually.

Your GP or gynaecologist will determine the best schedule for you based on your age, medical history, and previous results. Regular screening is vital, but the frequency can vary.

Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period, usually occurring around age 51, but this varies from person to person.

It's a natural stage in life marked by a significant drop in estrogen and progesterone levels. Common symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Post-menopause, women may face increased risks of osteoporosis and heart disease, making it crucial to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel like you need support during this phase of your life - you don’t have to go through it alone!
