Have You Put Yourself Last for Too Long?
As International Women’s Day approaches we’d love to encourage some reflection, as women, we juggle so much – careers, families, relationships, responsibilities – often leaving ourselves at the bottom of the list. Sound familiar?
This International Women’s Day, let’s change that! It’s time to put your health and wellbeing first. You deserve it.
At The Menopause Company and The Dr Jenni Clinic, we believe every woman deserves to feel strong, confident, and in control of her body. Yet, so many struggle through symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, hormone imbalances, ADHD, and other health challenges without the right support. Today, we’re here to remind you: your health matters just as much as everyone else’s.
The Silent Struggles Women Face
Women often downplay their symptoms. We brush off fatigue, mood swings, night sweats, brain fog, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating as just “part of getting older.” But these changes can have a massive impact on our quality of life.
Did you know that ADHD symptoms can worsen around perimenopause due to fluctuating hormones? Many women go undiagnosed for years, struggling with focus, overwhelm, and emotional dysregulation without realising there is help available. At The Dr Jenni Clinic, we offer expert ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, ensuring that women receive the support they need to manage their symptoms effectively.
It’s not just in your head. It’s not something you have to “just get on with.” And it’s definitely not something to suffer through alone.
Why Women’s Health Needs More Attention
For decades, women’s health, especially menopause and ADHD, has been overlooked. Many of us grew up in households where these topics were barely mentioned, let alone properly understood. Even today, misinformation and lack of education leave millions struggling without support.
But times are changing. More women are speaking up. More professionals are listening. More solutions are available.
At The Menopause Company and The Dr Jenni Clinic, we’re passionate about breaking the stigma around women’s health. Whether you’re in perimenopause, struggling with ADHD, hormone imbalances, or simply feeling out of sync with your body, we’re here to help.
Taking Control of Your Health
The first step to feeling better? Acknowledge that your health is worth investing in. Just like you show up for your loved ones, your career, and your responsibilities, show up for yourself too.
Here are some simple but powerful ways to prioritise your wellbeing:
1. Educate Yourself
Understanding what’s happening in your body gives you the power to make informed decisions. Learn about hormones, menopause, ADHD, and women’s health so you can advocate for the care you deserve. Check out trusted sources like www.drjenni.co.uk and www.themenopausecompany.co.uk for expert guidance.
2. Seek Professional Support
You wouldn’t ignore a broken leg, so why ignore persistent fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, or focus issues? A specialist can help identify hormonal imbalances, ADHD, or other concerns, offering treatment options such as HRT, medication, lifestyle changes, and holistic therapies to support your individual needs.
3. Nourish Your Body
Food isn’t just fuel, it’s medicine. Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of fiber to support hormone balance, brain function, and energy levels. Stay hydrated and cut back on processed foods that trigger inflammation.
4. Move in a Way That Feels Good
Exercise doesn’t have to be about punishing workouts. Walking, yoga, strength training, or even dancing in your kitchen, movement should feel joyful, not a chore. Regular exercise improves mood, metabolism, and bone health, especially as hormones shift.
5. Prioritise Rest and Stress Management
Sleep is essential for hormone regulation and brain function. If you’re struggling with insomnia or restless nights, look at your evening routine. Reduce screen time, create a calming bedtime ritual, and consider natural sleep aids if needed.
Mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, and saying “no” more often can also help keep stress in check.
6. Invest in Advanced Health and Wellness Treatments
At The Dr Jenni Clinic, we offer high-end treatments designed to help you feel and look your best. Whether you’re looking for Ultherapy for skin tightening, Emsculpt NEO for body contouring, or personalised aesthetic treatments, our expert team is here to provide tailored solutions to enhance your confidence and wellbeing.
Make This International Women’s Day About YOU
This year, let’s shift the focus. Instead of just celebrating women, let’s support them, starting with ourselves.
If you’ve been ignoring symptoms, putting off that doctor’s visit, or feeling lost about what’s happening to your body, today is the day to take action. Book a consultation at The Menopause Company or The Dr Jenni Clinic and get the expert support you deserve.
Your health is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. You’ve spent years caring for others. Now, it’s time to care for you.
Happy International Women’s Day. Here’s to your health, happiness, and empowerment.
