The idea that people think that providing free menstrual products to children is a bad thing boggles the mind. But hey I am team #TamponTim and I love the Santa Claus for periods quip 😂😂😂 Also, you can do your bit by putting menstrual products out in the open in a bathroom at your house where guests can find them. Even if they don’t need them, just having them out in the open is a small step in breaking down the ridiculous stigma about menstruation.

No matter how much you think you know about the menstrual cycle or reproductive health, there’s just always so much more to learn and wrap your head around!! @drjengunter answered all my questions in today’s ep of @itsalotpod ! Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!
The Australasian Menopause Society is a fantastic evidence based organization. They have also noticed that there are issues with misinformation and over promotion of MHT on social media. They state there are, “spurious claims being made about menopause hormone therapy by some health care professionals on social media and in opinion pieces. These claims are presented as mainstream expert opinion, but some of them do not accord with current evidence-based guidelines.” Please swipe to read their statement.

Tasmania is truly a special place! I have always wanted to visit, and now all I can think of is how to get back!! The beaches and countryside are amazing. The first shot is Wineglass Bay. We saw Tasmanian Devils, which are the most curious creatures! They are the black ones in the photos. Incredible bite strength. They make the most spectacular growling/howling noise when faced with another devil. I also got to cuddle a baby wombat. They apparently need intense cuddling for the first two years of their life. And the final photo is a Quoll, which is also known as a baby faced assassin. You want to cuddle it, but it wants your finger! Also, had some fantastic local beer and wine. Perfect place for a honeymoon!

There has been a lot of discussion on my feed the last few days about what menopause hormone therapy can and can’t do, and some people got very upset when I mentioned we don’t recommend MHT for prevention of cardiovascular disease and dementia. Which shocked me a little, but I suppose if someone has gained your trust by selling fear about your brain or heart, seeing beliefs challenged could feel uncomfortable. I decided to take a deep dive into MHT and dementia for my latest post on TheVajenda.com. Like some of my posts that take many, many hours to put together, this is behind the paywall. I looked at the clinical trials for cognition and for dementia, and wrote about the observational studies and put that together with guidelines from multiple societies. For those who don’t want the deep dive into the data, I am happy to share the summary here: no menopause society recommends MHT for prevention of dementia. Some people then reply about “guidelines being out of date,” which is not true. In addition, not once has anyone provided any actual data to support that claim. And an observational study is not that evidence! I can easily cherry pick one as well. If you have real data that suggests all these medical societies have it wrong, please share it below. Swipe to see the various salient points for several guidelines/experts and the year written so you can get a full picture. The question is not why am I saying MHT is not indicated for prevention of dementia based on what we know, the question is, why are some providers ignoring the guidelines and scaring people? My guess is it’s fear that feeds the algorithm, not facts. But it is just a guess. Guidelines are created when multiple experts sit down and sift through the evidence. They must disclose financial biases. Many of the people who write these guidelines are brilliant researchers dedicated to facts. Remember, these are the same people who have been instrumental in changing the narrative to get hormones to those who need them for symptoms or bone health, they are most definitely NOT gate keeping. They are just trying to use the science that we have to do best by women.
Recently I shared a fantastic podcast by @feistymenopause which tackled the subject, should all women take menopause hormone therapy or MHT. I shared this because I have heard from many women, here on social media and in the office, that many menopause influencers on social media claim that every woman should take MHT. In fact, they risk dementia, heart disease, and a shorter lifespan without hormones. I had also recently heard from 4 colleagues asking me about this, as they too were debunking all kinds of disinformation about what MHT can supposedly do, again the source social media. I was clear in my post that this was not about symptoms or osteoporosis, but about the claims going around about heart disease and dementia prevention and longevity. After what I felt was a pretty innocuous post, I was attacked by quite a few people. Some of them providers. I was accused of gaslighting women, of gatekeeping natural hormone, and of lying because apparently “no one” ever said that. I mean why get upset if no one ever says that? While this melee was going on, someone even sent me a screenshot from a provider that made some false and, quite frankly, weird claims. I mean, claiming that MHT creates more female leaders is bizarre and some might even consider it offensive. I don’t take being accused of making things up lightly. So, I did a poll, and over 4,400 of you answered (thank you). And 46% of you said yes, you had seen claims on social media that every woman should be on MHT to prevent heart disease, prevent dementia, and/or for longevity. Yes, over 2,000 of you. But no one “ever” says that? Hmmm, now who is gaslighting whom? That is the gist, but I wrote about this in more detail for TheVajenda.com. If the evidence were good, it would be in the guidelines. People telling you or implying that hormones are the fountain of youth do not have access to some super secret data. The way to undo under prescribing for symptoms is not to over promise, cherry pick data, or make sh*t up. Women deserve facts, because you can’t make an informed choice with inaccurate information. I’m going to keep posting evidence based content, as I have been doing.

Time for a #menopauseminute Seed oils are fine. Really. Use them if you like, and don’t if you don’t want to. But any person in the health care space warning you against using seed oils should be a red flag! Now I’m off to make a stir fry for lunch with canola oil.
