Empowered Wellness: A Woman’s Guide to Thriving at Every Stage
Hormones play a crucial role in our overall well-being. When they are in balance, we feel our best. Oestrogen, often known as a female hormone, requires testosterone and progesterone to maintain harmony in the body. However, when testosterone or progesterone levels drop too low, or oestrogen becomes too high, it can lead to oestrogen dominance, which may cause the following symptoms:
🔸 Mood swings
🔸 Anxiety
🔸 Headaches
🔸 Breast tenderness
🔸 Bloating
🔸 Irregular menstrual cycles
🔸 Increased appetite and sugar cravings
🔸 Decreased sex drive
🔸 Difficulty with memory or concentration
🔸 Insomnia
According to the American Cancer Society, oestrogen dominance may increase the risk of breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers, especially if there is a family history. The good news? Early detection through a proper consultation and laboratory blood testing can help manage this condition. Many cases can be improved with simple lifestyle changes. Once your hormones are back in balance, you’ll feel revitalized and ready to shine!

Menopause - We Are With You. You Are Not Alone.
Menopause marks the end of menstruation, officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. It typically occurs between ages 45 to 55, but symptoms may start as early as 10 years before menopause and can persist for years after. With such a long symptomatic period, it’s no wonder menopause can feel overwhelming for many women.
Common Symptoms of Menopause:
🔥 Irregular periods with heavy or light flow
🔥 Hot flashes, night sweats, and flushing
🔥 Insomnia
🔥 Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
🔥 Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
🔥 Loss of breast fullness
🔥 Hair thinning on the scalp, with potential increased hair growth on the face, neck, chest, or back
🔥 Dry skin, mouth, and eyes
🔥 Frequent urination and increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
🔥 Muscle soreness and joint stiffness
🔥 Heart palpitations
🔥 Difficulty with memory and concentration
🔥 Weight gain or water retention
If you’re one of the lucky few who experience minimal symptoms, we wish you continued good health! But if menopause is significantly affecting your quality of life, don’t suffer in silence. Support is available.
