World Menopause Day 🌎 2026 - the focus being “chronic pain”. There is so much to say and learn to move ahead with. Welcome your thoughts 👇 #menopause #perimenopause #menopausedoctor #hrt #lifestylechange
#menopauseawareness is well underway at workplaces, communities and surgeries. 🙋♀️ Have you come across information? What has caught your eye?
Last night we had @themenocharity webinar with our wonderful Clinical Advisory Panel members giving trusted, evidence based information. Every day is a day to feel empowered and gain more knowledge.
Menopause affects every individual differently depending on their life needs and history, there are over 50 symptoms and it can be hard to know what is going on, using a symptom tracker, talking therapies, lifestyle change, seeking professional advice and treatment (HRT/non HRT) can help.
I’m leaving this stand for the coming week and hope it reaches those who need. 1 in 10 women should not be leaving work because of menopause 🫶🏽#bethechangeyouwanttosee #perimenopausesupport #menopausematters #midlife
Sharing this study at the request of Dr Claire Lancaster, whom I am fortunate to be communicating with:
This research study investigating how Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for menopause influences cognition, and whether this differs according to genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease (APOEe4 status).
We’re currently recruiting women aged 40-60, living anywhere in the UK, who are about to start HRT for the first time but have not yet taken their first dose. The study is fully remote, with online assessments before starting HRT and again at 3 and 9 months, plus a cheek swab by post. Participants receive a £20 voucher.The recruitment window is quite narrow, as participants need to complete their baseline assessment after being prescribed HRT but before taking their first dose. Reaching women at this point in their HRT journey is really important, so we’re trying to spread the word as much as possible! #menopauseresearch #menopause #hrt #cognitivechange
Had a wonderful weekend walking in South Downs National Park and staying in a Mongolian Yurt in West Sussex for the last stent of training for Mount Toubkal ⛰️ hike coming up. Glorious weather, company and scenery helped. The camping will not be as glamourous! Isn’t it funny how you wait for months and then start panicking when the moment arrives?! 😣 Now, with a day to go, my mind is playing games… I’ve trained well, what could I have done more? Will I make it? Have I the right kit? Will there be injuries? Any advice?
Got to try to silence the self doubt and enjoy the journey:
“Your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them”
It’s all relative, three years ago I was barely walking, it’s all progress. Would you like a report back? 🫡 overall looking forward to the adventure! #midlife #nowornever #walking #mountain #skeletalstrength
It was great to speak about #bonehealth options at the Surrey Women’s Health Update 2026, which covered 7 hours of updates on menopause, contraception, recurrent UTI, prolapse & pelvic floor, vulval dermatology and PMS/PMDD for health care professionals. So much to learn! What would you want to know more about?
I covered why we should be actively promoting bone health, case finding and treating with Hormone replacement therapy first line for women under 60 and much more via case studies of young, midlife and older women.
As see on second picture, bone density drops most a few years before and after menopause so this window of time really matters. Any element of change made in calcium in diet, movement such as jumping, weights or stopping alcohol and smoking - ALL COUNTS. Else, bone that is osteopenic at 60, will be osteoporotic by 80 and 1 in 2 will have a fracture and 1 in 3 will lose independence. This is such crucial awareness with an ageing and frail population.
I was grateful for the feedback and the wonderful work inspiring me from @drbillbones , @menoscandal and Dr Sian Griffith at Metabolic Bone Clinic. Thank you @terrilovis for the invite to speak and for being such a driver for our regional women’s healths services 🙏 #togetherwecandoit #osteopenia #osteoporosis #bonehealthawareness
Did the Surrey 3 peaks on Sunday to test the training and kit for the Morroco Mount Toubkal hike in 3 weeks time!! Have you done this? Honestly was thinking I would find it hellish after a hot indulgent summer but actually having done 3-5 sessions of 30 minutes resistance & weights exercise a week, it wasn’t! The advice of #littleandoften works 💪
I found the first 20km walk with lots of different hilly terrain and conditions manageable and the last 5km was a bit more challenging. Perfect for trialing some kit! The company definitely makes it 😊
Making changes in small steps and with a community is often nicer. And it’s never too late. Thank you @pipskinnerfitclub for inspiring & organising. Simone from @back_on_track_live wonderfully guided us and now I just need to keep up with the training for 3 weeks! How can I stay motivated?? Hopefully, aching less, less injuries and the glorious challenge of Mount Toubkal with @adventurousewe should keep me going. I’m learning a lot about myself in the process. Look forward to sharing as I go along. Please never feel #midlife has to be boring?!
It’s so important to have movement in your life during perimenopause and menopause. I need to progressively build strength and cardio for a special trip in 6 weeks so I did a 6k hilly walk with a full 6kg backpack on! You don’t need fancy kit to put you off! We are so fortunate with #greenspace and getting outdoors is the best form of #wellbeing 😊
A surge in endorphins when exercising will lower cortisol, improve sleep, aid vitamin D and help mood. What other benefits do you see? I think we get caught up in “fashionable” exercise and it puts many off. Honestly, do what we are designed to: walk, squat, jump, run and/or play!

Another year around the sun 🎂 Grateful for all that I have, the good people in my corner, and for feeling strong enough for midlife adventures. Holding space for everything happening in the world today 🫂 #birthday
Feeling ‘wired but tired’ as the summer heat continues? ☀️
As a GP, I see so many patients struggling to balance a packed calendar with their body’s internal chemistry. In my latest blog for Roots Health Academy, I break down the clinical power of an “outdoor prescription” and how simple, 3-minute habits can regulate your stress hormones, manage cravings, and fix your sleep.
Here is your daily micro-habit challenge: step outside for just a few minutes first thing in the morning without looking at your phone. Your master internal clock (and your mood!) will thank you for it.

I’d love to hear your thoughts? What works for you? What change can you make?

In the last 18 months I’ve completed qualifications with @cosrh_uk for the Menopause Care Professional Certificate (MCPC) and Menopause Care Professional Diploma (MCPD) and now I am ‘officially’ evidence based and practising as a GPwER (GP with Extended Role in Menopause) and I am a listed Menopause Care Principal Trainer providing training and assessment for trainees.
I’ve been a doctor for 25 years, working in #womenshealth for 20 years and constantly learning in this journey. Not all clinicians need these letters behind their name to see patients with menopause need but they do train you to manage complex cases, premature ovarian insufficiency, run a menopause clinic and train others. Although these qualifications have been a lot of work along side my other commitments, for me, now I recognise menopause care and training are my ‘calling’ alongside being a #generalist . It’s also been great to work alongside a team of drs and connect with colleagues. There is so much misinformation out there that getting corrected evidence based training out is important.
Thanks to my trainer Dr @terrilovis for the guidance and support. Working together in projects and menopause services in time to come is super exciting!

I had the pleasure of being the first speaker following @meerabhogal who was the organiser of the Don’t Pause for Menopause symposium on 28th June 26. This is the fourth year of this amazing event is running and it brings together a diverse group of curious people who want to learn more about the impact of menopause.
Sharing facts about osteoporosis, its prevalence, impact, the role of oestrogen, lifestyle importance and the role of HRT was really important to me. It was great to see the information so well received with some feeling empowered and emotional.
The panel after my talk, delighted me with questions regarding lifestyle, nutrition, HRT and the role of testosterone. These are conversations that were not happening before on a Sunday morning!
It was a pleasure to meet fabulous colleagues who went on to speak about Endometriosis, genital urinary syndrome of menopause, relationship difficulties and counselling, fitness and nutrition. Overall, menopause and lifestyle awareness was resonating. Such a flourishing gathering and I wish I could have stayed longer. But such is midlife and trying to spin all the plates 🤹♂️
What question would have liked to ask?

Navigating menopause can be challenging, but what happens when you add Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or adult Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) to the mix?
I’m so glad to share this essential guide: Rheumatoid arthritis & menopause. Created by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) in collaboration with the British Menopause Society, this booklet is specifically designed to help manage menopause for people living with RA and adult JIA.
If you’ve been looking for advice and support tailored to your unique needs, this guide is a must-read! Please share or tag others who this would help 🙏
