Yeah, that was a penny drop moment for me too! I had no idea that fear, stress and anxiety stimulated histamine and prevented it from being eliminated properly. As we know, at menopause, very often our stress hormones are sky high. But there's something else that triggers all those sneezy, swelly type symptoms by just looking at a glass of wine. It's to do with declining progesterone and oestrogen dominance. All will be revealed. My gues...

I often wonder if much of the menopause misery we see is down to the fact that the deeper meaning of menopause is not truthfully being shared.Slapping on a bit of HRT might help short term, but if that's all we're focused on, we're missing out on the true gold of the whole experience.

So a rising of grief during menopause is natural. Learning how to navigate this internal change can often mean allowing ourselves to experience the sadness of loss. But how do we do that when we are so biased towards 'getting over it' as quickly as possible. If you wan...
