When we feel lost, it’s often because we’ve lost connection - with ourselves, our purpose, navigating an identity shift or moved our focus from our own wellbeing.

Purpose presents when our mind & body are in balance.

Your mental health & sense of purpose is linked to your biochemistry. This is why prioritising our biochemistry (& body) is a foundational element for all the women I work with in clinic.

It’s not about pushing yourself at the gym or the numbers on the scales it’s about nourishment at a cellular level which we know improves our overall mental health. 🧠

If you are feeling lost & would like a chat with a Women’s Health & Hormone Practitioner, send me a DM for a complimentary Wellness chat so we can create a plan to get you back on track ✨

You might be wondering why life feels like a roller coaster some days

This is why⬇️

See below all the functions in the brain impacted by fluctuating estrogen levels during perimenopause:

🧠Executive functioning
🧠Processing of sensory, painful stimuli
🧠Body temp, energy & balance
🧠Learning & memory
🧠Emotion & Motivation
🧠Mood
🧠Attention, arousal & anxiety
🧠Information processing & short term memory
🧠Default mode, task preparation

It’s a lot.

What you commonly notice when perimenopause is knocking - changes in menstrual cycles (frequency & length), changes to flow or spotting mid cycle. Increase in PMS symptoms & changes to sleep patterns to name a few.

If you want to take my perimenopause quiz - comment “BRAIN” below and I’ll send it over.

After 45 women are at increased risk for several major health conditions due to hormonal changes, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors.

See the reason why’s below

1. Cardiovascular Disease ➡️
- Estrogen has a protective effect on blood vessels and cholesterol levels. When estrogen levels decline during menopause, women’s risk of heart disease significantly increases.
-History of pregnancy -related conditions eg gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, can contribute to long-term cardiovascular issues.
-Women often delay treatment as symptoms can be subtle such as fatigue, nausea, and back pain

2. Dementia (Including Alzheimer’s Disease) ➡️
-Ongoing research in this space however… The decline in estrogen during menopause may contribute to increased brain inflammation & reduced cognitive function.
-Heart disease risk factors eg. high blood pressure and diabetes also increase dementia risk, and women are more likely to develop both conditions as they age
- Social and psychological factors, such as higher rates of depression and anxiety, may also play a role in cognitive decline.

3. Type 2 Diabetes ➡️
- Insulin resistance tends to worsen after menopause due to hormonal changes and increased abdominal fat.
- Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), are at higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

4. Osteoporosis ➡️
- Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density. After menopause, bone loss accelerates.
- Women generally have smaller, thinner bones than men
- Lifestyle factors such as lower calcium & Vit D intake and reduced physical activity

5. Specific Cancers ➡️
- Increased lifetime exposure to estrogen and progesterone, especially for women who experience early menstruation or late menopause, raises breast cancer risk.
- Genetic factors, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, also play a significant role.
- Lifestyle factors

I’m Kate, Women’s Health Practitioner & Hormone Specialist comment “YEARS” for evidenced based strategies all women need to know - future you will be glad you did!
