The Women's Wellness Hub

The Women's Wellness Hub https://thrivecoach.link/bxz1Xn8R Hi! Welcome to The Women's Wellness Hub.

I help busy, professional women navigate the complexities of menopause using consistent, sustainable, proven health practices to decrease stress, fatigue, and isolation in their health journey. I'm Angie Hollingshead, dedicated RN turned passionate Nutritionist, Menopause Coaching Specialist and founder of the Menopause Mastery Method. With a nursing career spanning 20 years (12 years spent in Emergency Departments) I bring a wealth of medical expertise and a deep understanding of women’s health to my passion for helping women not only navigate the menopause transition, but embrace this phase of life with confidence, vitality and joy. Through my own experience of not feeling heard, validated or having my perimenopause symptoms taken seriously (not to mention feeling completely and utterly overwhelmed and exhausted) I have gained a strong commitment to empowering other women in helping professions prioritize and advocate for their own health and wellness. I aim to break the silence surrounding menopause at home and in the workplace by fostering an open dialogue that promotes understanding and support. And I am on a mission to reduce healthcare provider burnout during menopause, demedicalize menopause in a patriarchal healthcare system and enhance the lives of those experiencing this significant life phase (myself included!). My unique approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a biopsychosocial perspective, allowing women to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. I understand that menopause is a deeply individual experience and my tailored strategies encompass nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management and mindset skills to help women thrive during this transition.

✨ Women’s Health Hub - Session 3 ✨

Sexual Health, Intimacy & Pelvic Wellness

Dr Lindsay and Nurse Angie are going to be talking about the things many women experience… but few feel comfortable asking about.

Vaginal dryness. Pain with s€x. Bladder changes. Loss of sensation. Pelvic pressure. Changes in desire and intimacy.

These changes are COMMON during perimenopause and post menopause - but that doesn’t mean women need to suffer. And we can start by talking about it and opening the conversation in a supportive, evidence-based, judgement-free environment designed to help women better understand their bodies and know what options are available.

Because suffering in silence is not “just part of aging.”

• Did you know that women have unique risk factors for cardiovascular disease? If you’ve experienced gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or PCOS, your risk of developing cardiovascular disease may be heightened. Talk with your ob-gyn or other health care professional about ways you can lower your risk. Learn more about heart health for women at the link in ACOG bio

Fun fact: You can teach an earthworm to navigate a maze.

An earthworm. No prefrontal cortex. No podcasts. No Biohacks. Just a dirt-filled tube.

And yet… it can learn.

Which brings me to this:

“All people have the capacity to change…This capacity is known as neuroplasticity - the ability of our nervous systems to build new connections and pathways to help us think or do things differently.”~Precision Nutrition

Peri/Menopause can feel like your body and brain suddenly started operating under new management.

Sleep changes. Mood shifts. Energy fluctuates. Motivation comes and goes.

It’s easy to think: Maybe this is just how I am now.

But your brain 🧠 never loses its ability to adapt.

💪🏻You can build strength.
😴You can improve sleep.
🧘🏻‍♂️You can change old habits.
😌You can feel better in your body again.

Not overnight. Not perfectly. But absolutely.

You are not stuck.
Your brain is still capable of change.

Even if it sometimes feels like an earthworm is running the control panel.

Start small. Your nervous system is paying attention.

Lots of chatter on the interweb about the FDA’s removal of the black box warning on menopause hormone therapy (MHT).

This is a good start. BUT we need to ensure the pendulum doesn’t swing too far the other way.

➡️Flip through the pics to read with The Menopause Society has to say.

Read below ⬇️ to see what the European Menopause and Andropause society has to say:

“The removal of a warning label does not imply that MHT is suitable for every woman or that it should be broadly prescribed without careful evaluation.
Key principles remain unchanged:
• MHT is highly effective for menopausal symptom relief, including the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, osteoporosis prevention in women at appropriate risk, but not universally indicated.
• MHT is not indicated for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic women.
• MHT is not indicated for the prevention of cognitive decline and dementia, frailty, and
“anti-ageing” therapy.
• Treatment must remain individualised, considering age, symptom severity, personal and family risk profile, comorbidities, and patient preference.
• A blanket, one-size-fits-all approach is incompatible with modern, evidence-based menopause care.
• The goal is appropriate prescribing, not maximal prescribing.” - EMAS

This is VERY important to keep in mind when consuming content on social media.

Women deserve SAFE and effective care.

Long read but I hope this helps some women out there!!
