Scottish 'Pause Summit

13/06/2026

SATURDAY MORNING MENO MUSINGS

As someone who ‘survived’ perimenopause with no understanding, support or HRT, I encourage everyone to identify what is going on in their body, both physically and emotionally, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

Also, identify when ‘symptoms’ are worse/better during the month. We have oestrogen receptors throughout our body so as our oestrogen levels fluctuate dramatically throughout the month, our ‘symptoms’ can fluctuate.

This information is invaluable when you present to a health professional for support.

Also, HRT is powerful, but it can take time to find the products/ combination/ dose that suits you. Every woman is different; what works for you may not work for others. Ask for body identical forms of oestrogen and progesterone. However, you may not experience the full benefits of HRT if other areas of your life are out of whack!

Are you getting enough sleep? Are you fuelling your body with the right nutrients. Are you hydrating? Are you exercising? Are you stress levels under control? Are you taking time out for you? Small lifestyle changes make a huge difference in perimenopause, and beyond.

It is important to remember that you’re moving into a new era. It’s ok not to ‘operate’ in the same way you did in your 20s/30s or 40s. It’s not necessarily a wind down, it’s a recalibration!

And finally, for the ultimate support, get yourself along to Glasgow’s largest menopause support event, the Scottish ‘Pause Summit . Feel heard, supported and cared about!

WHAT’S THE SECRET INGREDIENT?

It seems that these days everyone is taking about menopause - which is great - but many are missing the point!

Yes, peri and post-menopausal women would benefit from:

* Learning about their bodies and Identifying our ‘symptoms’

* Eating more protein, and doing weight-bearing exercise to build muscle

* Drinking more water whilst reducing their alcohol intake.

* Getting more, and better, sleep

* Taking body identical HRT (if appropriate or chosen)

Etc etc

BUT the thing that often forgotten is the thing that can help women the most!

It’s women getting together with other women and talking about it.

Sharing stories. Comparing. Laughing. Sometimes crying. Supporting each other.

Because, you are not alone!

That’s the beauty of the Scottish ‘Pause Summit in October.

Yes it’s about empowering women with information but, more importantly, it’s about community.

Bringing together women in a safe and supportive space.

I’d love you to be there! (Link in comments)

HAPPY 1ST JUNE - THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU!

An incredible headline speaker at the Scottish ‘Pause Summit on Sunday 18 October.

Dr Helen Wall - check her out on IG - will be exploring why menopause and ADHD can feel like the perfect storm.

The reason is largely hormonal.

Helping women understand the connection between the menopause and ADHD is crucial, especially as more and more women are late diagnosed.

Tickets for this event are going to fly! (Link in comments)

PS I have lived experience of all of the above but I struggled for years with no knowledge!
