Holidays are important.
We need time to reset. A change of our environment. Adventures.
I’ll be making a reel about this next week and share some of the thoughts from the women I’ve interviewed for my book.

Alcohol is one of the most toxic things we ingest. But it’s so normalised from drinking every day to the weekend binge drinkers.
In December I’m interviewing Prof David Nutt on my podcast to tell us all the facts about alcohol.

Following up from my post yesterday - for sure not all post menopausal women feel fantastic.
But we can improve how we feel if we look after our pillars of health and happiness. It’s never too late for self care and self love.

What’s it like being a post menopausal woman? Many would say it’s the best time of their lives.
But some people think we should delay or prevent menopause.
What do you think? I know some won’t agree.

Last night I was marking my student essays about AMH testing and was shocked to see a student reference a paper by me - throughout their essay - from 2017 with a title and authorship which never happened. The first image.
I asked Chat GPT about papers I have written about AMH testing. Fake!

At the Big Retreat Festival this year I did a 90 minute session on why orgasms are good for our health. I've even explained sex to Philomena Cunk.
I have finally written a blog about it.
Let's talk about sex and orgasms. Why are these still taboo?

Sex. Almost all of us do it. And orgasms - hopefully almost all of us have them. I'm quoted in this article about sex as we age and today I'm posting my blog on why orgasms are good for our health.
