We were thrilled to meet this menopause powerhouse

We were thrilled to meet this menopause powerhouse and all-round World Menopause Day Bold Woman last week. @carolynharrismp has a Private Member’s Bill going through Parliament, calling for free HRT prescription charges for all women in England. (In Scotland and Wales, the prescriptions are already free.) The Bill, which also calls for industry standards for workplace menopause policies, will have its second reading on October 29. “For far too long, generation after generation of women have been let down, ignored or simply thrown on the scrap heap as a result of the menopause,” says Carolyn. “Despite affecting more than half of the world’s population, menopause remains one of the last great taboos – badly funded and rarely discussed in public. It is also poorly understood: in the workplace, in society at large and far too often, even in the doctor’s surgery. “If the menopause were an illness, or indeed a condition that impacted every man, it’s unlikely that financial support would be so woeful, or public understanding so negligible. Women have suffered long enough – I am determined to change that.” Carolyn will be joining us for an IG Live later this week, with news on how we can all lobby our local MPs and join a London rally outside Parliament on Oct 29 - Team MPowered will be there. #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen #worldmenopauseday2021 PS @carolynharrismp told us that her goal is to have a certain Jacob Rees-Mogg say the words ‘vaginal dryness’ on the floor of the House. We would pay good money to see that 👊

@Asos has announced it will offer up to 10 days paid menopause leave, as part of a wide-ranging set of new health and wellbeing policies. Whilst it’s wonderful to see a company supporting women in this way, not everyone is impressed. “It may seem churlish to suggest that this initiative will, so far from making life easier for women, actually make things worse,” writes Melanie McDonagh in @evening.standard. “It’s one more ground for employers to see women as trouble, forever wanting time off to have babies and now for no longer being able to have them. Once, older women were a safe bet for employers on the basis that they wouldn’t be looking for maternity leave; now they may manifest a different set of women’s problems.” Reservations have also been raised in our Facebook group Women With Ambition, Attitude and Brain Fog. “I believe that the focus should be on managers having the appropriate training, which also covers other aspects of making reasonable adjustments, such as for people who are neuro diverse, rather than stipulating a certain amount of leave,” writes one member. “Adjustments may be more than just time off.” It’s a view echoed by @menopause_doctor. “Yes, having time off is good,” she says, “but actually, as most women can have HRT, it is even better for them to have their hormones balanced. They need to be given the right education and support.” (Read the full article via #linkinbio.) We suspect this debate will run and run. What do you think?

On World Mental Health Day, let’s remind ourselv

On World Mental Health Day, let’s remind ourselves of what we always call the “secret symptom” of menopause - the anxiety. So many of us are blindsided by it, including @gabbylogan, who we spoke to earlier this year. “I wasn’t very knowledgeable at all about the menopause,” says Gabby. “I genuinely thought it was all about hot flushes, which I didn’t have. I assumed that I was just getting old and that’s why my skin was a bit dodgy and my anxiety levels seemed to have increased.
“When I tested my hormone levels they were almost at rock bottom. Then I realised that I had other symptoms which had slowly crept into my life, like low level anxiety, mood fluctuations, dry skin and tiredness.”
Looking after your mental health in the menopause years is so important. It may be the secret symptom but don’t let anxiety be a part of your midlife. You can do something about it - and what better day to start than on #worldmentalhealthday. You’ll find more from Gabby via the #linkinbio and our Stories.

How does menopause affect your hair? Trichologist

How does menopause affect your hair? Trichologist Lorna Jones (@caringforhairuk) explains. “Typically, the hair grows in cycles. There are three phases: the growth phase (anagen), a resting phase (catagen) and a shedding phase (telogen). When hair is affected by the imbalance of oestrogen in the body during menopause, the growing phase shortens, and the hair begins to thin. This results in more of the scalp being visible.” Read her full interview at the #linkinbio #menopause #menopausesymptoms #menopausesupport #menopausehairloss #midlifewomen #haircareroutine

Our new private Facebook group is up and running.

Our new private Facebook group is up and running. Women With Ambition, Attitude And Brain Fog is where you’ll find medical resources to help with your menopause symptoms, trusted information on HRT and a community of women just like you to share experiences with. Currently being discussed… The proposal by @carolynharrismp to scrap prescription charges for HRT. Lots of thoughts on that from the group. A reminder: from November, we’ll be hosting the monthly Menopause & Midlife Health Clinics with @drstephaniegoodwin over in the Facebook group. We also have lots of other special guests coming to chat, so don’t miss out. Join us today. You’ll find the link to join via #linkinbio and on our Stories. See you there. #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen

“Will HRT make me put on weight?”. We get aske

“Will HRT make me put on weight?”. We get asked this a LOT. The short answer - NO. “This is a bit of a myth,” confirms @drstephaniegoodwin. That’s not to say that “menopause belly” isn’t a thing (it really is!) but that HRT isn’t the culprit. Dr Steph explains all here, and reveals how HRT can actually help with shifting a few pounds. As always when it comes to all things HRT, the facts from a doctor are so much more helpful than any scaremongering headlines. Thanks Dr Steph! For more HRT expertise, join Dr Steph this Thursday at 6pm for our monthly IG Live Menopause & Midlife Health Clinic. She has some exciting HRT news for all of us. #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen #wednesdaywisdom
