Around one in a hundred women under 40 years of age have an premature menopause. Going through the menopause when you are young can be very difficult emotionally.

As retirement age is increasing, many more women are now working with menopausal symptoms and these can really negatively affect their ability to work. 

So many women I see in my clinic are really worried about HRT. They are understandably concerned about risks that they have read about but they do not have adequate information to make an informed choice regarding HRT. 

Many women think that symptoms of the menopause or perimenopause only last a year or two so they should simply “put up” with them. However, this is often not the case and some women have symptoms for decades. This short video may help.  

I have recently sent out my first newsletter which is available here – Jan 2017. Anyone can sign up on my website for one and I am going to send them regularly.

Every week, I hear stories from women talking about their menopause (and perimenopause) that sadden and sometimes frustrate me.  The more I talk to women about their menopause experiences, the more I realise how many women are suffering alone and not talking about their symptoms.

Many women are very confused between the difference between body-identical hormones and bio-identical hormones. There are some really important differences that I would like to clarify.

Symptoms of the menopause such as poor concentration, tiredness, poor memory, depression, feeling low, lowered confidence, sleepiness and hot flushes can all affect ability at work.

The response from the ITV Tonight programme on the menopause recently was overwhelming.
