Menopause Clinic
The New You Clinic offers a variety of services and treatments for Women’s Health. Peri-Menopause and Menopause is at the heart of what we look after in clinic. We encompass a 360° approach to Health & Wellness. Based on Claudia’s personal experience of a lack of help for women, she has set up a Women’s Health Hub dedicated to helping women from the inside out.
Peri-Menopause & Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are two significant life transitions that many women experience as they approach middle age. Perimenopause,which typically begins in a woman’s 30s/40s, is the gradual decline of the ovaries’ ability to produce eggs, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, mood changes, and hot flushes. During this phase, hormone levels fluctuate wildly, causing a range of symptoms that can be unpredictable and unsettling.
Menopause, on the other hand, is the point at which a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of her reproductive years. This natural biological process occurs around age 51, although it can occur earlier or later depending on factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and medical history.
Both perimenopause and menopause can be challenging for women, who often experience a range of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. Hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances are just a few examples of the common complaints that women may experience during these transitions. Furthermore, women may also face social and cultural pressures to maintain their youthful appearance and vitality, which can add to their stress and anxiety.
Despite these challenges, perimenopause and menopause also present opportunities for growth, self-reflection, and empowerment. Many women use this time to re-evaluate their priorities, pursue new hobbies and interests, and cultivate deeper relationships with loved ones. By understanding the physical and emotional changes associated with perimenopause and menopause, women can better navigate these transitions and emerge stronger, wiser, and more confident than ever before.

Wellness and Menopause/Perimenopause: Navigating the Transition with Confidence
As women approach their 40s, they often experience a range of physical and emotional changes that can be both challenging and empowering. Perimenopause and menopause are two significant life transitions that require a proactive approach to wellness.
Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause is the gradual decline of the ovaries’ ability to produce eggs, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, and hot flashes. It typically begins in a woman’s 40s and can last several years. Menopause, on the other hand, is the point at which a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of her reproductive years.
The Impact on Wellness
During perimenopause and menopause, women may experience a range of symptoms that can affect their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Some common symptoms include:
* Hot flushes and night sweats
* Mood swings and irritability
* Sleep disturbances
* Vaginal dryness and pain during sex
* Weight gain
* Fatigue
* Brain fog
These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, making it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, by prioritising wellness during this transition, women can reduce their risk of chronic diseases, improve their overall health, and enhance their quality of life.
Wellness Strategies for Menopause and Perimenopause
1. Exercise Regularly: Physical activity is essential for maintaining strength, flexibility, and balance. Aim for moderate-intensity exercise at least three times a week.
2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help alleviate hot flushes and maintain skin health.
3. Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on whole foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods and sugars that can exacerbate symptoms.
4. Practice Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety.
5. Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help regulate hormones and reduce fatigue.
6. Stay Connected: Build strong social connections with friends, family, and loved ones to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness.
7. Prioritise Self-Care: Make time for activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as reading, painting, or taking a relaxing bath.
8. Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)* If symptoms are severe or persistent, consult with a healthcare provider about HRT options.
9. Stay Active in Your Community: Join a menopause support group or attend local events to connect with others who are experiencing similar symptoms.
10. Consult with a Healthcare Provider: Regular check-ins with a healthcare provider can help monitor symptoms and develop a personalised wellness plan.
