Let’s be honest, turning 50 isn’t something any of us look forward to. Rather than embrace it, a lot of women dread their 50th birthday and the changes that start to occur around this time. We’ve got some helpful advice that many women wish they’d known before they reached this age. Some of this might […]
Hot flushes, mood swings and weight gain. These are some symptoms of both perimenopause and menopause you’ve no doubt heard of. It’s easy to learn what’s going on when your body is going through text-book signs of the aging process. When symptoms don’t quite seem to fit your standard expectations of the change, it doesn’t […]
We’re told so many times to stay out the sun to avoid premature aging, to not read in the dark to avoid damaging our eyes. We’re told to stay fit and exercise regularly so our bones stay strong as we age. A huge proportion of our lives seems to revolve around precautionary measures to protect […]
Happiness often lies in the little things, the simple things. It’s amazing what a few changes can do to improve our quality of life. When things go wrong we blame those things for our unhappiness, but in actual fact, it’s the way we react to them that dictates our emotional response. Here are a few […]
Everyone experiences stress throughout life. Sometimes it’s mild, sometimes it’s unbearable. Unfortunately, it’s very common to be stressed. Stress unbalances the ANS (autonomic nervous system) which is already unbalanced as a result of menopause. It therefore makes symptoms even worse. The LaBalance device works by rebalancing the ANS, however, high stress will work against this. […]

It’s the small day-to-day things that can make a huge difference in our life. As a woman nears or goes through menopause, reducing stress and anxiety is really important. You might know by now that additional stress can make your symptoms worse, which is the last thing you want! Getting up early is beneficial for […]
Hot flushes are bad enough on an average day, never mind adding the sun into the equation! Although the summer in the UK is a bit hit and miss, we typically have those warmer months and occasionally even a heatwave!
Many women don’t actually like to talk about menopause. For some it can be a very embarrassing topic, especially if they are suffering quite badly. More specifically, embarrassment can often be felt around the workplace, or when out socialising with friends.
Uncomfortable changes in our bodies do not stop after menopause. Unfortunately this is one of the realities of being a woman.
