On the contrary, it’s just beginning as women start to realise HRT can help protect them from osteoporosis, heart disease and dementia. Studies show HRT regrows bone by over 3% in a year. That’s good news.

This is huge in our understanding of perimenopause and menopause. Not the obvious hot flushes but the invisible, insidious grind of lost sleep. And we can take action - progesterone at night and estrogen HRT really helps, as does exercise and meditation.

It took visits to FIVE American doctors before @Oprah discovered her heart palpitations were caused by fluctuating hormones in perimenopause and got HRT. Fawcett UK report says 41% get heart palpitations in peri/meno. Listen to women - don’t gaslight them. 🔥

We’ve got a long way to go - this is from our 2022 poll for @ThisisDavina documentary. We need to reclaim the comedy around menopause for ourselves - and stand-ups like @BridgetChristie are leading the way. ♥️

After weeks of campaigning by women and an Insta-and-Twitter storm, @sajidJavid says he’ll appoint an HRT tsar (tsarina surely?) and is meeting manufacturers too.

To all you #menopause warriors out there wondering why progress is so slow, watch this 👇 The Minister for women and equalities argues wanting women to be supported through menopause in the workplace is left-wing and makes disparaging remarks about people with red hair.

An article which may be life-changing from @dr_mosconi and Dr Pauline Maki on how your brain rewires when hormones crash around menopause. Mediterranean diet and exercise are good but hot flushes put us at higher risk of Alzheimer’s - and HRT can help

I agree with Dr ⁦ @mgtmccartney ⁩ that menopause care needs to be more nuanced, but it’s NOT “over-medicalised”. REMEMBER, AS YOU READ THIS, THAT OVER 80% OF UK WOMEN ARE NOT ON HRT, AND THAT MANY COMMUNITIES ARE NOT GETTING ACCESS OR INFORMATION.

Yes it’s #deckthehormones time! No 1: the tsunami periods of perimenopause. A survey of 4,000 women showed 44% get heavier and more unpredictable periods - so you’re not alone. Join in the campaign with @drlouisenewson @LizEarleMe and more #menopausewarriors ❤️🎄
