There are big challenges emerging right now for midlife women. . Health brands are gaining financially from suggesting menopause is the cause of all midlife problems. This is a marketing ploy. They create fear and tout costly products and services. They use scary, misleading headlines as click bait. It is a commercial industry now 😞 . FYI; 👉🏼Menopause is not a catastrophe 👉🏼If your well-being is off the rails you are likely to need a combination of strategies to get back on track 👉🏼If you are healthy and simply want to prevent future illness and disease, medication is not the answer 👉🏼Health and well-being do not arise from a high enough dose of anything in isolation and it shouldn’t cost the earth. . Red flags to watch out for when seeking menopause and hormone advice on-line; 🚩High level advertising appearing repeatedly on your feed 🚩High cost products and services 🚩Excessive/unconventional tests 🚩Simple or overly complicated solutions not explained to you properly 🚩Use of unlicensed products or excessive dosing of hormones without explanation and informed consent 🚩Telling you a treatment will prevent ageing and future diseases 🚩Recommendations not in line with impartial expert consensus 🚩When one “miracle” treatment doesn’t work they move on to the next “miracle” . You can cross check your facts by looking at reputable websites such as British Menopause Society, Women’s Health Concerns and NAMS. . And remember this; Midlife and beyond holds the promise to be an empowering and liberating time of life. You have built up life experience and insight. You’ve got this 💪🏻🙌🏻 . #hormones #menopause #perimenopause #menopauserelief #menopausesupport #menopausesymptoms #womenshealth #menopausehealth #menopausehelp #midlifewoman #womenover40 #midlifewomen #womensupportingwomen #womenover50 #hrt #hormonesupport #hormoneimbalance #empoweringwomen #femaleempowerment #menopausemisinformation #femaleleadership #womenofacertainage #womenoftoday #femaleempowerment
