What's the link between menopause and sleep? One of the most common complaints from women in our clinic is that they don't sleep well. Well, they're not alone.

According to a US study, 56% of women over 40 are getting less than the seven hours of sleep per night that experts deem restful and healthy!

Not only does good sleep make us feel better generally, it's also vital for long term health.

But you knew that right? That's why it's so frustrating if you can't sleep! And that increased anxiety just makes everything worse.

The good news is that we can do something about it!

Are you looking for love in your midlife? This week I caught up with the fabulous Katie Phillips, female empowerment coach and love and dating mentor.

Her story is one of hope. Having given up on ever finding her soul mate, she realised that she’d have to work on herself first before she found real love. And it worked, she met her now husband James, and is extremely happy.

Her passion is now inspiring and empowering other mid-lifers that if they truly desire it, they can meet the love of their life without burn-out or guilt!

This week I’m talking to one of our clients, Gillian Mackie.

When she first came to us, she was really struggling. She suffered from what seemed like every menopausal symptom on the list - hot flushes, joint pain, brain fog and more.

But what she really struggled with was what she termed ‘crushing fatigue’.

After doing a range of testing with us and getting some targeted support, things changed dramatically for Gillian. She started a brand new job and signed up for a Dragon Boat race which she would never have been able to do before!

I get a lot of questions from women about Intermittent Fasting and whether it's something we should be doing.

There are lots of health benefits to fasting, but it's definitely not for everyone, and you know that I am not a fan of any kind of deprivation or calorie counting!

Which is why I prefer a form of fasting that's easier to do, particularly when we have got hormones to think about. And that's something called Time Restricted Eating (or overnight fasting).

The world has thankfully changed since I started talking about menopause in 2014! Back then, nobody wanted to mention the 'M' word, it was misunderstood and avoided like the plague.
These days everyone is talking about it! From celebrities to royals, many women are now openly sharing their experience. And many organisations are finally realising they need to support this large and growing section of their workforce.
But not everyone is getting the support they need, so if you're still struggling in your workplace OR you are responsible for female employees in your organisation, listen up. I'm going to go through why you need to keep pushing this forward.

This is not my favourite topic ! I'm a wine and gin lover, and I'm not giving them up very soon.
BUT I have to face the facts that alcohol is not good for me (or my hormones). The indisputable evidence is there and there's no getting away from it!
My responsibility is to share this with you too. So you can make your own mind up about how much alcohol you want in your life. And it may just give you some motivation to give up or just cut down a bit.

Hot flushes (or hot flashes) and night sweats are some of the most common symptoms during menopause.
It's happening because of the fluctuating levels of oestrogen and progesterone, which are thought to have a very key role in your thermoregulation in your brain, your temperature control.
Here are my top ways to stop hot flushes ruining your life!
