Menopause might steal your mojo… but it doesn’t get to keep it! 😉

Perimenopause can start in your 40s, sometimes even sooner, and for many women, it can feel like they’ve lost their spark.

Less energy, less confidence, less libido… and occasionally a little less patience with everyone around them! 😂

But here’s the thing: getting your mojo back involves more than just slapping on an HRT patch and hoping for the best.

That’s exactly what we explored at our recent menopause workshop. Understanding what’s happening to your body, exploring your options and discovering practical ways to start feeling like you again.

A huge thank you to all the lovely ladies who attended, shared their experiences and made it such an enjoyable, open conversation! ❤️

📚 Missed the workshop? Drop a comment below and I’ll happily send you a copy of my slides, completely FREE!

Because your mojo hasn’t retired. It might just need a little encouragement. 😉

🔥 HOT TOPIC ALERT… and yes, the pun is absolutely intended. 🔥

I’m back at Moko Physiotherapy this Saturday at 10:30am for another one of my wonderful workshops 😌

This time we’re talking all things MENOPAUSE & its management.

A topic that affects millions of women, yet somehow still comes with far too much confusion, conflicting advice and the occasional “is this just my age?” 🤦‍♀️

We’ll be cutting through the noise and having a proper, open conversation about menopause, symptoms, treatment options and what good management can actually look like.

🌡️ Hot flushes
😴 Sleep all over the place
🧠 Brain fog
🎢 Mood changes
💊 HRT and treatment options
…and plenty more.

Only 3 days to go! ⏰

Fancy joining us? Grab yourself a seat by calling Moko Physiotherapy on 01332 501098.

Come armed with your questions. No question is too silly, awkward or “TMI” 🙌🏼

Menopause deserves better than “just put up with it.” ❤️

See you there,

AI has taken us back to the 80s, and honestly, it’s convinced they were the best years of our lives. Ask anyone in their mid-70s today and they’d probably agree. 😄

But here’s something we can all agree on: medicine has moved on so much that we’re living longer than ever.

The real question is whether we’re adding years to life, or life to years.

That’s what preventative medicine is all about. Looking after your heart, your hormones and your health today so the years ahead are ones you actually enjoy.

First time dispensing this 👀💊

A newer non-hormonal treatment for menopausal hot flushes, particularly useful for women who do not want HRT or where HRT may not be appropriate.

Fezolinetant (Veoza) is a selective neurokinin-3 (NK3) receptor antagonist that acts on the brain’s temperature-regulating centre to reduce hot flushes and night sweats. Unlike HRT, it contains no oestrogen or progesterone.

My therapy 🌿

There’s something genuinely fulfilling about having the time to sit down with someone, listen properly, understand the bigger picture and actually help.

I’m incredibly proud of the work I do in the NHS, but the reality is that time, workload and system pressures can sometimes limit just how much you’re able to explore in one appointment.

My private clinic gives me something different.

Longer appointments. Proper conversations. Time to go through the medication, the blood results, the symptoms, the lifestyle, the concerns and all the little things that often connect together.

No rushing someone out of the door. No treating a number on a screen. Just the time and space to practise healthcare the way I’ve always wanted to.

And seeing someone leave feeling listened to, understood and with a clear plan?

That’s probably why this place has become a little bit of therapy for me too. 🌿

Nat Geo ✅✅✅

“Frozen shoulder” is a real condition causing stiffness and difficulty in raising the arm. It mostly affects women, striking peri- or post-menopausal women more commonly than anyone else. The painful affliction can last for years—but has long been ignored by medical researchers who doubted its existence. New treatments may finally promise a cure.

TIRED. ALL. THE. TIME? 😴

There’s tired… and then there’s “I’ve had 8 hours sleep and I could still go back to bed” tired.

Fatigue is one of those symptoms we often just accept as part of being busy, working, parenting, getting older… life, basically.

But persistent tiredness can sometimes be your body’s way of telling you something needs looking at.

Things I commonly think about include:

🩸 Iron / ferritin levels
🦋 Thyroid function
☀️ Vitamin D
💊 Vitamin B12 / folate
🍬 Blood glucose levels
😴 Sleep quality (not just how many hours you get)
🧠 Stress, burnout and mental wellbeing
💊 Medication side effects
🌸 Hormonal changes / perimenopause

And sometimes?

Your blood tests are completely normal… but your diet, sleep, exercise, stress and general routine need a bit of attention.

The important bit is working out why you’re tired rather than simply learning to live with it.

At Ph. Health Studios, we take the time to look at the bigger picture, symptoms, lifestyle, medication, medical history and, where appropriate, blood tests…and actually join the dots.

Because “I’m just tired all the time” can tell us quite a lot.
