Let’s Thrive Ladies!

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? And then being told it is all ‘fine’ or ‘okay’ or ‘normal for a woman of your age’? So, it’s back to feeling a bit anxious, sleep deprived, funny periods and that strange but bothersome symptom of word searching.

What IS wrong with me then? I hear you ask? Well, it’s more than likely to be a hormonal imbalance. And more than likely to represent the peri-menopause – that omnipresent time which can begin as early as 35 years old for some women, and last for up to 10 years, before your menstruation actually stops.

Although talk about the menopause is everywhere at the moment, I still speak with many of you who have not heard or are unsure if this is now your time to go through the menopause. I understand - we struggle with what we need to know. Having the time or access to medical help is tricky, and sometimes we just don’t want to take up space and ‘bother anyone’.

However - if I asked any of you – do you want to be healthy – then of course the answer is ‘YES!’. But what does this actually mean? Do you have any objective proof of your health as you navigate the perimenopause? And of course, we then are faced with something else that pops up on our horizon, and our attention is diverted. Or worse still - a major life or health event, and we are begging for health to return.

Do you find that excelling at what you do at work or in sports is not a problem, but when it comes to your own health you start to unravel?

Are you so so busy looking after everyone and everything else, that by the time it gets to you, it’s game over. Or you are so used to being ill that now you aren’t sure you know how it can be any different. Where has that person who wanted to live long and healthy gone? And what would you do with your best possible health now? Sell it all and go travelling? Move to the country? Or just get out in nature more and work less?

What if I told you that your health is totally in your own hands, doesn’t necessarily lie in a tablet or operation, and can be improved by small regular behaviours that you do every day? That if we start to consciously examine our lives and health choices a little harder, we will create a different health trajectory. Does that feeling empower you, confuse you or make you more worried?! So, what next? What could you do to communicate with that inner woman, your true inner health and really really thrive??

You see I speak to hundreds of women like you every year, who have this confusing mixture of physical symptoms (sleep deprivation, anxiety, tiredness, brain fog, sore boobs, funky periods etc) with major life milestones or events - all at a time when you are hitting that next evolution of yourself. But what did that 18-year-old version of you want to do? Are you on your way to achieving those goals? Your health is tied up in all of this. This is why I have created Human Health THRIVE. With this programme, we help you to unpick all that ‘stuff’ about what you want your best health for, give you all the education and tools to understand and modify your symptoms, all with the support of community of medicine.
