This picture by @lucyclaireillustration is called “it’s the love that gets us through “. They’ve been through enough . Now let’s give them some space to recover . ❤️
This is the second part of the post before ❤️❤️❤️
Surely all these people that write these articles want the same thing as us ? To help support and educate women through the menopause. Just read the comments in my menopause lives , so many questions . There is no doubt that education brings women comfort and makes it easier to navigate . Why don’t we all come together ? Imagine that !!! Ps. They also talked about menopause not having an effect on mental health , that rates of clinical depression had not gone up . Most menopausal women go to their gps and say their low mood is NOT depression they just don’t feel themselves, they r flatlining thru life … ( a symptom)
and yet still 1 in 4 are prescribed anti depressants ?
TBT to last Friday ! What a night !! You were amazingly giving as always … raising an incredible 40 million pounds for @comicrelief to fight poverty here in the Uk and around the world … THANK YOU … loved my fellow hosts !!!! @joeldommett @mayajama #davidtennant @romeshranga @rosemarinoramsey @mcguinness.paddy and of course we celebrated #lennyhenry and #richardcurtis for founding comic relief all those moons ago and the enormous difference they have made to the world 🌍 thanks to @abigailrosewhite for styling, @cherylphelpsgardiner for make up, @mdlondon for hair and jumpsuit from @safiyaa_official, shoes @solebliss , jewellery by @annoushkajewellery thank you x ❤️
Fascinating live . Loved talking to @drmaryclaire all things #menopause .. in particular interested in the subtle differences between the USA and the UK … but the same struggle. Misinformation and fear mongering and lack of research being done into the health of women. She talked about holistic care that was music to my ears . Follow her for the latest research from the states and lots of easy to digest tips and hints to live our best lives 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you @drmaryclaire
So I finally started “the stronger you”challenge on @ownyourgoalsdavina The first session was with Lauren. Feels so nice to see her on the platform. I’m so proud ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . I used 3, 4 and 5 kg weights. Think I could drop the 3’s. Gonna go heavier next Session . If you haven’t already started it, why don’t you join me???? ❤️❤️
Wowzers ! Breathing . Something we all take for granted , but I knew so little of the profound effect it has on my health and wellbeing . I know
I’m breathing differently to how I did pre menopause .. I’m so so grateful to @drlouiseolivertlc . She brilliantly and clearly explained why it’s important and we will deffo chat again hopefully with tips .. #breathing #menopause #menopausing
#ad we all know how important protein is, especially in midlife.… always try to make it a focus in my meals💪 but when we r super busy , away from home it can be hard , or as we get older we just can’t manage it .. when I know I’m not getting enough in my diet I lean on my @foodspring_uk supplements 🙌 muscles can be harder to maintain as we get older so I created these with all of that in mind.
You can take protein whenever u want .. Ill take focus in the day, the ginseng helps with a little lift and
I drink Relax in the evening with some warm milk ( like a hug in a mug 😍) …. contains ashwagandha too which helps reduce stress and anxiety.
packed with loads vitamins as well like B12, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, zinc ❤️ and they’re £10 off at @hollandandbarrett atm x

COME CLEAN WITH @davinamccall
To celebrate the 10th birthday of @garnieruk Micellar Water I chat all things cleansing from top to toe with Davina, from cleansing crimes and confessions to looking after your skin as you get older (and a warning to pre teens to go gently ).
Products mentioned the @garnieruk Classic Sensitive Skin Micellar, Soothing Hyaluronic Cream Cleanser and Anti Dark Spot Super UV SPF50 and @bamford Bath and body as a treat. Oh and Summer Body Dark for that gorgeous self tan.
La ménopause est un sujet totalement ignoré des hommes et sur lequel la parole n’est pas exactement libérée.
Je reçois la boule d’énergie et de bonne humeur @davinamccall , présentatrice TV star au U.K. qui a pris le sujet à bras le corps!
Et elle nous fait le plaisir et l’immense effort de parler en français 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hi! I’m writing a book. Wanted to write this for decades. But I was known more for light entertainment 😂😂 so couldn’t get it off the ground, but now I can and I couldn’t be happier. “BIRTHING” will be an honest, no holds barred roadmap to a positive conception, pregnancy birth and the fourth trimester with your new baby, I’m writing this alongside amazing medical experts And specialist contributors and … most importantly… YOU . I really want to hear from you. Please watch this and you will hear what I need and if you can help me with your story that would be amazing, because No two births are the same, and it is unbelievably comforting when you read someone else’s story ,somebody who experienced something similar to you. I would like to empower you to have the birth you want , reduce fear and help you during one of the most vulnerable, confusing and stressful periods of your life . If you want to share your story, please go to the link in my bio, and you will see how to do it x ❤️
Thank you so much Dani . This live made me think a lot about what more we can do to include people in menopause after cancer in everything we do . So the first thing is share the places they can go to get information and support … @futuredreamscharity @breastcancernow @menopause_and_cancer , @macmillancancer @maggiescentres @trekstock ( will be editing and adding to this list so keep coming back to check ) look forward to talking to you again very soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Dani .. this is part 1 part 2 is in the next post. Collaboration, sharing, amplifying… it’s a scary place to be .. and we all know how lonely menopause can feel when we don’t know where to turn . So here are some accounts to share @breastcancernow @futuredreamscharity @trekstock @healthywholeme @maggiescentres @macmillancancer @menopause_and_cancer @the.hormone.doc also Dani talks about a new science paper from this year that talks about vaginal oestrogen post breast cancer

Tonight we talked fertility with Sara from @ivfbabble . She gave some brilliant tips to support and educate couples on their journeys but very importantly what you can do before you even start trying to conceive… way before . These actions will make a big difference to some of you and many were say in the comment how they wish they had done this. I am writing a book called birthing. Which I am hoping Sara and her extensive experience and knowledge will contribute to. If you would like to tell me your fertility story to perhaps use in the book to help educate others there is a link in my bio to share it on.
Sorry about the sound … the last 15 you can hear x but I will definitely be doing lives with ALL OF THESE AUSPICIOUS WOMEN !!! They r amazing !! We learned about cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, VULVAS… and anuses … unbelievably interesting… happy birthday @damelesleyregan for tomorrow @drhivafassihi @drsairahameed @misssarahmills #draaishaopel

This is part 2 . We got cut off . I have to say Dani is an amazing communicator. We all need to watch this . If you have been plunged into menopause after cancer follow @healthywholeme @menopause_and_cancer @maggiescentres @macmillancancer @trekstock listen Dani’s podcast … anyone that’s not in surgical menopause let’s all come together and share as many of these accounts as possible . It’s a lonely place not knowing where to turn for help x
