As an Independent Prescribing Pharmacist specialising in women’s hormones, it’s perhaps no surprise that one of the most common questions I’m asked is, “Are my hormones causing this?’ Whether it’s fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, painful periods, fertility challenges or the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, hormones are often at the centre of the conversation. And…

Women’s health problems can often be complex and influenced by hormonal, physical and emotional factors. While conventional medicine plays a big part in managing many of these conditions, there is growing interest surrounding ways in which complementary treatments such as medical acupuncture can help.

Ageing well is often framed as adding years to our life. I see it from a different vantage point: adding life to your years.
