Everything we know, organised so you can find it
Free to read · nothing to buy
Most menopause information arrives at random — an article here, a podcast there, something a friend swears by. It's not that any of it is wrong. It's that none of it tells you where it fits, or what to do first.
So this is organised the way we think about it: four areas, four questions, and an honest answer to each.
If you don't know where to start
Start by finding out where you actually are.
The Menopause Health Score is sixteen questions across the four areas, and takes about four minutes. It shows you which area deserves your attention first — which is a more useful thing to know than another fifty pages of reading.
It's free, there's nothing to buy at the end of it, and it contains no supplement content of any kind.
Sleep
Why can't I sleep properly anymore?
Waking at three. Falling asleep fine and coming round at two with your mind going. Hot and wide awake. These are different problems with different causes, and the advice that works for one does nothing for another.
→ Why you wake at 3am, and why it isn't insomnia
→ The four patterns of disrupted sleep in menopause
→ Why cutting caffeine didn't work
→ What to change first if you're only going to change one thing
Menopause & Me
Why don't I feel like myself anymore?
The concentration that used to be reliable. The confidence that quietly went. Feeling more emotional than you'd like and less resilient than you were. And the physical things nobody warned you about.
→ What's actually happening — a plain-English explanation
→ Brain fog: what it is and what helps
→ Weight around the middle when nothing else has changed
→ "My blood tests were normal" — what that does and doesn't mean
Energy & Capacity
Why can't I cope like I used to?
The three o'clock drop. Reaching the evening with nothing left for the people you'd most like to have something left for. Finding that things which used to be manageable now feel like a great deal.
→ The afternoon crash, and where your energy is actually going
→ Blood sugar in menopause, without the tracking
→ Muscle, strength and why it matters more now than it did at thirty
→ Designing for your worst week rather than your best one
External Support
What could actually help?
Supplements, hormones, tests, clinics. This is the area where most money gets wasted, and where honest information is hardest to find — because almost everyone writing about it is selling something.
→ How to decide whether a supplement is worth your money
→ Preparing for a conversation about hormones with your GP
→ Which tests tell you something, and which don't
→ How to tell good information from noise
Is it worth it? Honest verdicts
Every intervention we look at goes through the same five questions before we'd recommend it to anyone.
Is there good evidence behind it? Is it accessible — or would a simpler version deliver most of the benefit? Will it reduce stress or create more? Could you realistically sustain it? And will it genuinely improve your life, or just give you more to track?
The last three are the ones most health writing skips, and they're the ones that decide whether something survives a real week.
The answer is often no. That's rather the point — a test that only ever approves things is an advertisement.
