Building the foundations

Why start with the foundations? 🌱

When you understand what your hormones actually do, everything starts to make more sense.
You can spot patterns, explain your symptoms, and feel more confident about your treatment options - whether they’re working, or why they might not be.

When we understand how hormones work, we’re equipped to make better choices about how to manage our symptoms.

A good hormone management plan isn’t just about getting the prescription - it’s about getting it right and knowing what to expect.

A good hormone management plan can mean:

• Fewer GP visits
• Fewer blood tests
• Fewer side effects
• Less guesswork

It also means:

• Less time off work
• Less pharmacy fees and visits
• Less frustration
• Far less mental energy is spent figuring out if your treatment is working

It's not just about hot flushes 💥 

Menopause hormone therapy is not just about hot flushes. It’s the bladder leakage just before your period, the heavy bleeding that won’t ease, the skin that reacts to plasters, the irritability that creeps in with no warning, the feeling that something is off—but you’re told everything is “normal.” It’s remembering how you felt after each baby. It’s spotting with progesterone and being told to increase it, when actually, you might just need more estrogen. It’s the quiet desperation to avoid yet another iron infusion—or the hope that a Mirena might help you avoid surgery altogether.

Understanding you 🩶

This course is here to help you understand the bigger picturen - your picture.

It’s not just about the symptoms you’ve been told to expect. It’s about learning how your body works, what it’s been through, and how you can support it now. It will empower you to make decisions clearly and safely.

Yes, sometimes the research is confusing or the advice feels outdated. But when you have a strong foundation, even an educated guess becomes a powerful first step.

So if you’re here because you've been asking yourself, “Could hormones be part of what’s going on?”. Welcome, you’re on the right track.

Let's keep going, together.
