Menopause Success Summit in September Will Inform and Educate

Hello everyone. In my post this week, I am delighted to be able to share with you that The Menopause Success Summit, in partnership with Cleanmarine will be taking place virtually on Saturday September 25th 2021.

Cleanmarine

I first wrote about THE MENOPAUSE in the early days of the blog way back in 2016. It was re-published in 2019 when I attended Ireland’s First Menopause Summit.

Following the Summit, I wrote about what I had learned  HERE

That was in 2019 and I will be attending again, virtually, because there has been so much more research in the last two years. It  also turns out that we were misled hugely about the dangers of HRT. I want to keep up to date. I may be through the menopause, but I find as I age that I am having more problems. Yes, ladies symptoms can get worse.  If you are my age, you probably know that already.

MY MEMORY

I started noticing that my memory was giving me problems when I was in my mid forties. I thought it was because I was busy and probably multi-tasked rather too well. (I was in peri-menopause, but did not know it) Well in recent years it has disimproved even more. I am doing everything I can to halt the decline and even wrote a POST on it.

A recent  study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, found that women who underwent menopausal hormone therapy for six years or greater were 79% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s and 77% less likely to develop any neurodegenerative disease. Now that seems interesting and worth investigating further.

A good friend of mine (near my age) has recently started on HRT and  is delighted with how much better she is feeling with significant improvement in many areas including memory and sleep.

AGEING AND MENOPAUSE MEANS DRY AND ARID

There is a good reason why older women were derogatorily referred to as dried-up old prunes. Because that is what happens. As we age, we dry up everywhere. My skin has become drier. It soaks up moisturiser. My eyes need eye drops. My hair needs lots of conditioner.

And yes our VAGINAS are not exempt. If you read my earlier posts highlighted above, you will know that for years I used coconut oil. And yes it worked for a while. But in recent years even that has failed me. I moved on to over-the-counter stuff that was useless.

In the 2019 Menopause Summit, Diane Danzebrink gave us a wonderful talk incuding dealing  with excessive dyness and using LUBRICATION in Menopause. She recommended products including YES Yes Yes (great name) from Yes_Organics and Multi Gyn (seen below amongst our bag of goodies).

 

I have been using them and they worked wonderfully for a while. But a while ago I went to my doctor and asked for  a prescription for an oestregen cream called Vagifem. It is a game changer. But would you believe that I am finding it difficult to get it. Stocks are low in all the chemists. I need to ask The Fabulous Pharmacist (Laura Dowling), one of the speakers at the summit, what is happening. There must be a huge demand for it all of a sudden.

THE MENOPAUSE SUCCESS SUMMIT 2021

So what is this all about? First, it will be a live and immersive virtual experience, NOT ZOOM

It will be a LIVE broadcast, in other words.

And there will be an opportunity to ask questions, take part in polls, enter competitions and pop into virtual shops.

Menopause Speakers

The speakers include doctors, therapists, pharmacists, wellness coaches and women who will share their stories. I notice one man in the line-up: Tom Coleman who is a health scientist and sleep coach among other things.

I have heard some of them speak before and I can assure you that you will be educated and enlightened by what you hear. If it is anything like the last one, it will also be huge fun.

Catherine O’Keeffe, aka The Wellness Warrior, who with Aisling Grimley of My Second Spring was responsible for the first Summit in 2019, has really produced a stellar line-up.

    Veel interesting. In using Vagisan, it’s available at the drug store and does a great job!

    I am so happy that you continue to share information about menopause and the issues we face as women over50.
    I actually use a prescription estrogen cream for vaginal dryness because I didn’t find anything else to work for me.
    I can’t wait to read more about this summit!

    Sounds like a very good conference Hilda. There have been some extreme shortages in the UK of some types of HRT. I am trying to come off HRT. Has been a week so far with half a dose. Will write about it.

      Gail would love to hear more about your reasons. It is a minefield isn’t it. The more we can chat about it, the more info is out there so women can make their own decisions.

Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_i Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_ire treatment. You can read all about my 90 day journey using at home potent products and in-salon treatments over on the blog. Particularly happy with my skin tone which is brighter and less blotchy. And the lines and wrinkles are less obvious too...plus the jaw area seems tighter.

New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped off on our Danube River Cruise. Love looking back on the photos which bring back great memories of our trip. We stopped off somewhere different every day. Our final stop was Budapest. We arrived during the day, but the trip up and down the river at night with the city lit up was magical. The Parliament Buildings were particularly spectacular.
