In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with Health & Fitness coach Jen Kay - owner of Lift Learn and Burn. Jen and I dig into her own experience of ending her teaching career to dive into an area of health support work after she herself experienced PMDD from a young age. If you’d like to connect with Jen you can of course message her directly here https://instagram.com/jenkayllb Ladies as always your support with the podcast is so appreciated so please share it with at least one other amazing lady out there. Leaving a review is so greatly appreciated, it all helps with the podcast growth xx

This episode is such an important one. I chat with Dr Zoe Hodson, GP and menopause specialist, all about testosterone and the gender bias we’re still facing as women! If I can ask just one thing of you from this episode it’s to access the template email (link below), add your own voice to it and send it to your local CCG formulary for your council area. We NEED more, we DESERVE more xx thank you for your support and your stance with Zoe, myself and other female hormone deficiency supporters. The possible prescribing of Testosterone to women via the NHS is currently a complete postcode lottery. Each area of the country has a CCG prescribing formulary and if you search on the CCG formulary for your area and then search ‘testosterone’ then click on it and see who is ‘allowed’ to have their hormones replaced. If there is no sign of Testosterone being considered an appropriate treatment for women in your area please contact the CCG and ask why using the template here https://menopausesupport.co.uk/?page_id=13505

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with a business friend of mine, Serena Dodd about corporate world, leaving that behind and putting your faith in yourself. This is exactly what Serena did and now runs a very successful coaching business of her own - inspiring and such a brilliant episode packed full of guidance and advice. You can find Serena here https://instagram.com/serenadoddcoaching?igshid=1d9smr9n3v7vk where I know she’d be so open to answering your questions. THANK YOU for listening xx I appreciate you! With love and gratitude Adele xx

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with Dr Zoe Hodson (again) but we dive into peri menopause and take you on a journey through: Suspecting Peri Menopause and what’s next, Deciding HRT or no HRT - an informed and evidence based approach, and how to approach your GP for your desired hormone replacement ‘trial of treatment’. You can follow Dr Hodson here https://instagram.com/manchestermenopausehive?igshid=rua4k7v3zi7q and the book referenced is called Me & My Menopausal Vagina by Jane Lewis which can be found many places inc. here https://Amazon.co.uk/s?k=me+and+my+menopausal+vagina&ref=nb_sb_noss THANK YOU as always for listening, it seriously means the world that you do.

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with Hayley Cockman who at just 14 years old was told she’d gone through an early menopause, she started her periods at 12 like most young ladies do; then a year later they stopped. Night sweats were an awfully impacting symptom for Hayley and she recalls waking through the night dripping with sweat and having to change her PJs. Having been left alone with just her and her amazing mum to deal with the fallout, Hayley wants to raise awareness and share her story. Follow Hayley or connect with her here https://Instagram.com/prematuremenopause14 The resource links we chat about are here Newson Health: https://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/ Daisy Network: https://www.daisynetwork.org/ THANK YOU as always for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review, it helps the podcast grow and reach more ladies around the world.
