Menopause | A back-firing car
<p>Tahnee Simpson is a community compounding pharmacist and owner of Keperra Compounding Pharmacy in Brisbane. Tahnee became a menopause pharmacist because she wanted to help women understand where they are at in their life stage, what’s happening with their hormones, and how it relates to how they are feeling. With many options available for treatment, wading through this on your own is overwhelming, and Tahnee helps to recommend the treatment that fits your needs.</p> <p><strong>Episode 16 Menopause | A back-firing car</strong></p> <p>A lack of the female hormone oestrogen contributes to bone loss, increased cardiovascular risks, reduced skin elasticity and lower libido. In this episode, Tahnee discusses the symptoms of menopause (described as a back-firing car!) and the options available, including MHT (menopause hormone therapy), to manage this hormone deficit. </p> <p><strong>5 Indispensable tips</strong></p> <ol> <li>Knowledge is power – understanding where you are at in your life stage and what your hormones are doing goes a long way to understanding your symptoms.</li> <li>Get rid of the stigma that women just need to “get through it” and stop complaining. We need to talk about this more - with our friends, with our mums, with our colleagues. Share our experiences, support one another, and get support from loved ones around us.</li> <li>Get a mid-life health check – things can deteriorate post-menopause. Getting a health check and some base line information such as a mammogram, cervical screening, bone density scan, heart health check can give us a comparison point down the track.</li> <li>Don’t suffer with the symptoms – there are treatments in the form of menopause hormonal treatment (for women in whom it is safe to take). Menopause hormonal therapy (also known as HRT) is safe for most women to use in the first 10 years post menopause.</li> <li>Be kind to yourself – things are changing. Acknowledge that. The more you understand what’s happening to you, the more you know you aren’t going crazy!</li> </ol> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p>Jean Hailes - For women's health website: <a href="https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/health-a-z/menopause">https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/health-a-z/menopause</a> </p> <p><strong>Contact Tahnee here:</strong></p> <p>Keperra Compounding Pharmacy website: <a href="https://compoundingpharmacy.com.au/">https://compoundingpharmacy.com.au/</a> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TerryWhiteChemmartDallasParade/">https://www.facebook.com/TerryWhiteChemmartDallasParade/</a> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
