16. Menopause Mama Series: Karen

Discussing the reality of symptoms years from first noticing, being on HRT and other meds, the power of magnesium, wonderful working remedies via TikTok teachers and pushing your own agenda.
25 August 2023


Hi August listeners!

Another wonderful story of life’s challenges as a woman and mother - menopause - this month from Karen, in Kent, in the UK.

I love recording with my guest right next to me and I was fortunate enough to have Karen here to do this.

She is a regular reflexology and massage client of mine and swears these therapies also help her feel less stressed as a carer, locally.

We spoke of her symptoms and her looking back to realise she probably started struggling from around age 43.

Her HRT journey so far has not been particularly life-changing and she’s changed the strength of her patches twice in the last year.

What Karen has found joy with, is a few natural minerals and oils such as magnesium and rosemary oil as well as a miracle sell-out cream she discovered via Holistic Practitioner, Dr Barbara O’ Neill.

She sprays a magnesium oil on her feet and since using this new cream this week she has slept three days in a row, waking up feeling like a new person.

She advocates for pushing your own agenda with your health professionals till you feel like you’ve found your balance and feel on top of all the niggles that come with being menopausal.
